Quick & Easy Swedish Recipes – for Weekdays and Celebrations
By Joacim Kempe
Quick & Easy Recipes is a collection of 73 recipes for typical Swedish foods including main dishes, pastries, and what Joacim calls "other nice stuff." Joacim is just 17 years old, so for him, a requirement is easy and quick to make. He asks, "who does not like it when it goes quick to make dinner?" He dedicated the book to his grandmother and many of the recipes he learned from her while helping her in the kitchen as a little boy. There are some other recipes from family members and some he created himself.
What distinguishes the book from other cookbooks is that Joacim also shares stories about his life. The fact that he has written this book is itself a testimonial to his motivation to overcome many obstacles he has faced. Delicious recipes are interspersed with stories, both funny and sometimes sad from his life growing up on a farm in beautiful Sweden. The book is written in Swedish, and will be translated to English later in 2010. The book is available at his website:

Brooklyn Babe Makes Good – Sizzlin' in the Kitchen
By Deirdre Mercedes
I am very excited for Deirdre! She is working on her first cookbook of all original recipes that she has been cooking up in her own kitchen. She says she was hooked on cooking at the age of 6 when she first learned how to make an omelette. She hasn't stopped since then!
Deirdre is a dynamic entrepreneur. She's now decided to tap into her lifelong love of cooking and add a book to her accomplishments. Here's what Deirdre has to say:
"Writing a cookbook has become a great way to pass the time as I eagerly await a million tax-free dollars to drop out of the sky and burst through my living room window! I have always loved to cook and I'm told that I'm pretty good at it. This book is a natural progression of things I'd say.
My sister and I were latch-key kids so we both learned how to bang the pots very early. My love for cooking didn't develop out of necessity alone. Almost everyone around me cooked – my Mom, Dad and Sister, my Aunt and even my babysitter, Nanny. And they all cooked like gourmet chefs. Being the youngest, I was guided and counseled by everyone at some time or another.
I started to take cooking very seriously when I realized how much I enjoyed Italian food. Actually, I love the stuff. But we couldn't afford to eat out all of the time so I had to figure out how to cook it myself. My mother tells me that I was making lasagna by the age of 10 or 11. It went on from there. One of my favorite things to do when we went out to eat was to guess the ingredients and preparation of dishes on the menu."
This cookbook will be a wonderful collection of fresh and healthy recipes featuring her favorite renditions of fish and fowl accented with lots of fresh herbs and vegetables! She'll also be giving tips about cooking great food ahead of time so you have nutritious food available when you're on a busy schedule. And who isn't busy? Sounds great, and we can't wait!

Buying Healthy Food on a BudgetBy April. Filed in Eating |
In order to eat healthy our buying habits have to change. It took me a long time to realize I needed to buy a lot more produce than I was buying at a time because I was running back to the store every other day. If we don't want to be tempted into eating bad things or going out we should have massive amounts of fruits and vegetables filling our fridge. Especially if you are juicing. They know the juicers when they see us coming at Costco. Ideally we should all be growing our own food and hopefully there are a lot of you out there that are that can share ideas to get the rest of us doing it. There are still ways to get affordable organic food into our homes even if you don't have a garden.
Farmers Markets:
If you don't know if you have one in your area do a little searching online and see if you can find one. Some are amazing while
others are a bit scary as far as quality and prices go. Here in Vegas ours were pretty lacking but I hear they have some certified organic stands now, but in the past I found it was cheaper to go to Trader Joes and Whole Foods. However, in California our food costs dropped substantially because of the amazing amount of produce we were able to obtain at the farmers markets. The key to landing good deals at farmers' markets is form relationships, and ask lots of questions. Ask about seconds you may be able to buy at a discount. Ask about discounts for buying in bulk. Ask how you can buy their produce when the market is closed. The best deals I got were when I got there right before closing and they didn't want to haul the stuff out with them. I got our huge Halloween pumpkins for $2 each with a little bargaining at closing.
CSA stands for Community-Supported Agriculture programs. I haven't participated in one yet but if there is one outside of Vegas then your chances of finding one are high! When you buy a share in a CSA program, you pay a portion of a local farm's operating expenses. In return, you receive weekly boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables in the upcoming harvest and they usually deliver and sometimes offer recipes.
Amazon.com and other online shopping:
I get many of my more unusual items like chia seed and my powders online. Amazon usually has good prices but I always compare them to Nutsonline.com and The Raw Food World. (You can find a link on my Links page)
Costco actually has a lot of organic produce and if you are careful you can get it quite fresh. We get our avocado's, organic carrots, pesticide free cucumbers, organic spinach, watermelon, frozen organic blackberries, and other frozen organic fruit by season. You can also get wild salmon and organic beef there. Follow the Environmental Working Group's Shopper Guide to determine whether it is imperative for you to buy certain items organic. Print a copy and keep it in your purse/wallet. Pretty soon you'll have it all memorized.
Co-op's are so much fun! It took me a long time to find one in our area but it has been so worth it. If you don't know of one, get involved! Find a Meetup, or Yahoo groups with other natural minded families. They are usually the ones involved in this type of thing. You may have a lot more choices for organic food in your community than you realize. All it takes is a little research to find out. Organic associations and organizations in your state are good places to start. Just type the name of your state and the word "organic" into a search and see what comes up. Some that may be in your area are:
Azurestandard.com covering CA, WA, OR, ID, MT, WY, IA and NV Check their website for more information. They have tons of brands you see at Whole Foods and more! I love them! We get all of our (organic) apples, olive oil, nuts, coconut, dried fruits, lentils, and so much more from them! https://www.azurestandard.com/
Bountifulbaskets http://www3.bountifulbaskets.org/ They are non-profit and you can get a conventional basket of produce for $15 or an organic one for $25 and you get tons of produce for this price. They are all over the place and you might be surprised to find one coming to a park down the street from you. They cover AZ, CO, ID, KS, MT, NV, OK, OR, SD, TX, UT, WA, and WY If they aren't in your area you can always ask. They have doubled their states they cover since I've known about them.
Other resources: http://www.coopdirectory.org/
Local Farms:
If you see a farm on the side of the road with a little sign make sure you stop! I found a gem of a farm in the middle of nowhere where I got a huge tub of local raw honey for $20. He also sells organic beef for way cheaper than the co-op I'm in gets it and he has heirloom melons in the fall, with seeds in them and organically grown!! I was so thrilled to find him!
Buy in Season (Shop Sales):
The absolute best time to buy an organic fruit or vegetable is at the peak of its growing season. And that's the best time to buy big. Load up on all your favorite organic fruits and veggies at cheap prices. You can always freeze those organic strawberries yourself!
If this is the first you've thought about buying healthier foods then you might be sticker shocked at first but when it comes down to it you have to make a choice between certain things. When I see people with carts full of soda I think of all of the produce they could be buying with that money. Maybe you aren't buying soda but there is some tweaking in your budget somewhere where you can make the changes if you want to. I get sticker shock when I go fill my Mother in law's prescriptions. I actually have a really hard time with it because of my opposition for big pharma and there I stand in line ready to drop $100 on pills. You have to be creative and savvy with this stuff to make it work. I hope that in my lifetime it will finally become common knowledge that disease is caused by one or a combination of both a lack of nutrition and toxic overload. So until then lets just do our best to keep the toxins out and massive amounts of nutrition in.

pretty good!!
From Anonymous of SB, California on 10/18/2011.
I like lots of the vega/sequel products. This one is no exception. This is not super creamy chocolate. It has a great flavor though, and is a little "crispy" and "airy" kind of like it has micro air bubbles invisible to the human eye. Also, it totally gave me a chocolate buzz- so I don't recommend a whole bar in one sitting. :) I just order several more of these. I like them better than lots of the other plain vegan chocolate bars I've tried... enjoy!
Great Taste! 4000 mcg of Maca and chocolate!
From Dmitry Solodov of Samara, Russian Federation on 3/16/2011.
Sequel is great! If the price will be much cheaper this will be the bestseller
Sequel is brilliant, but... .
From Xhris of Berkeley, California on 4/12/2010.
All Sequel products are near perfection, especially the Vega Protein/Meal supplement line and this MacaSure bar tastes good, dont get me wrong, just not as intense or unique as I anticipated. It is an average chocolate bar. Only reason I give 4 stars is for Organic integrity and a quality feeling after eating it. For a dynamite Maca chocolate bar, try the Righteously Raw version, twice the price, but infinitely better experience... .

At The Crossroads presents an outstanding program for the therapeutic intervention and treatment of debilitating anger (aggression) related to troubled young adults. Call us for immediate help in overcoming dibilitating anger and aggression. Call 866-439-0354.
Anger and aggression in the life of a troubled young adult, both men and women, is a secondary, but destructive element of a deeper root issue. Sometimes, the problems regarding "anger and aggression" is so big that therapeutic treatment is the only answer.
The issue of "anger" effects all people, not just young adults. However, most destructive out-of-control aggressive anger is an element of emotional immaturity and lack of emotional intelligence. Unfortunately, there are way to many awesome young adults who have thrown their future to the wind due to outbursts of uncontrollable anger.
The good news is that most of the time the issues regarding explosive destructive anger and aggression can be overcome.
At The Crossroads is extremely effective in the treatment of young adults as they overcome anger. How young adults deal with disappointment, frustration, and personal setbacks will directly determine their "success" as young adults.
How young men and young women maneuver, transition, and deal with stress and disappoint will have everything to do with their ability to living independently. Life is a series of disappointments, setbacks, and most people deal with frustration on a daily basis. How we perceive and handle stress and disappointment has everything to do with our emotional intelligence and maturity.
Angry emotional are normal aspects of life. Everyone gets angry, and most people experience aggression. Unfortunately. Angry outbursts may do more harm than any other emotion.
There are two essential issues regarding angry outbursts. One, how de we prevent ourselves from becoming angry (out-of-control)? Second, how do we deal with angry people, and how do we protect ourselves from angry people and their aggression toward us?
The negative effects of angry outbursts are frightening and obviously stressful. Anger, when out-of-control, can destroy us, stifle our lives, and destroy our potential.
Angry outbursts in young adults, when out-of-control, goes far past normal "frustration" or "stress". Out of control angry outbursts are related to substance absue and emotional immaturity. The outcome is violence, crime, spouse and child abuse, divorce, stormy relationships, poor working conditions, poor physical health (headaches, hypertension, GI disturbances, heart attacks), emotional disorders, and so on.
Out of control anger that turns into harmful aggressiveness in response to overwhelming frustration or perceived injury, and is connected with the feeling of being "out of control". The question is, "are we already out-of-control", and are we just a time bomb waiting to lite our fuse?
When anger gets out-of-control and becomes harmful its usually because we don't like what has happened, and we feel as though we are not in control. Betrayal, persecution, disappointment, perceived injustice and unfairness are all rolled into one big angry mess.
Anger is a normal emotional; anger is a physiological and cognitive response to a situation or perceived situation. In some instances, angry emotions are beneficial and effective. Anger can motivate us to take proper action to correct a situation. Aggression is an action, and as an action of out-of-control anger, aggression could be devastating. For example, aggression in anger could take the form of a verbal or physical assault.
Verbal assaults that can't be taken back can cause disastrous results; verbal insults, physical threats, ugly sarcasm, or a physical attack can cause far more damage than the original injustice or reason for the anger.
Anger and aggression can come about by the uncontrolled entertainment of revengeful thoughts; fantasies in which we humiliate or brutally assault our perceived or real enemies? Harboring such thoughts can trigger unintentional outbursts of anger. This is the part that highlights the emotional immaturity or lack of emotional intelligence.
Anger can be the result of hurt pride, unreasonable expectations, or the repeated harboring of resentment that turns into bitterness. We can easily justify the use anger when we blame others for our own shortcomings.
We can justify oppressing others in order to boost feelings of inadequacy. We can easily justify hurting other's feelings by harboring angry thoughts. Situations that frustrates us, especially when we think someone else is to blame for our loss, can become a self-righteous justification for anger and aggression.
We know when we are very mad, but anger and aggression come in many forms, some quite subtle. The question is… are you an angry person and is anger and aggression detrimental to your life? Are you unable to control your anger, and are aggressive acts hurting your life?
1. Anger: physical and verbal outrage, meanness, temper tantrums.
2. Aggression: overly critical, fault finding, name-calling, accusations
3. Hurtful: malicious gossip, stealing, trouble-making.
4. Rebellious: anti-social behavior, open defiance, refusal to talk.

This is such a busy time of year for everyone and with people spending more time now than the rest of the year in the kitchen, I've been demonstrating and sharing tips and recipes all over the place. I wanted to compile the wonderful recipes I have shared this month for various outlets. I've picked my favorite recipes that you can bet will be on my Thanksgiving table. On WAFB I shared Southwestern Shrimp, Corn, and Sweet Potato Soup, Glazed Pork Tenderloin with fig preserves, Wild Rice and Peppers, and Broccoli and Pecans with Creamy Horseradish Sauce. The Huffington Post featured an article called "Terrific Tips for a Hearty and Healthy Thanksgiving" with a lot of great tips on making your day a little easier and healthier. From sweet potato casseroles to stuffing, you'll enjoy my trim & terrific versions of these classics that are mouth-watering but more figure- friendly and my monthly article for Albertson's focuses on just how great sweet potatoes are. I also visited the Juanita J. Craft Recreation Center at Baylor Dallas to cook up my Wild Rice and Peppers and my Mixed Greens with Apples and Walnuts with Cranberry Vinaigrette. At the Charles A Sammons Cancer Center cooking class I shared my Chunky Corn Chowder with Kale and Sweet Potato (also featured on the This Mama Cooks blog), Yam Cornbread Stuffing (recipe below, photo above), and Red Velvet Berry Trifle.
All of these Thanksgiving recipes are featured in my books which can be purchased here and make great gifts for the holidays.

One of the old trees that line Greenville's Fifth Street came tumbling down Thursday morning.
The oak tree, directly in front of the ECU chancellor's house, was leaning most of the morning toward the Art Building. The fallen tree has blocked 5th Street as workers clean up the mess.
There's no word on how long 5th Street will be closed.

Comments about Voit Kona Reef Snorkel Combo Adult:
This was one of the Cyber Monday deals and this product is terrible. I got less than what I paid for. We ordered three. The plastic around the goggles is very fragile. One arrive already broken and the second broke at the first attempt to put the mask on. The remaining one had a poor seal and kept leaking water into the mask even with different users (since we only had one working one left).

April Midnight
Side by side through the streets at midnight,
Roaming together,
Through the tumultuous night of London, . . .
Side by side through the streets at midnight,
Roaming together,
Through the tumultuous night of London, . . .
What if it were possible to vanquish
All this shame with a wash of varnish
Instead of wishing the stain would vanish? . . .
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight . . .
A poem should be palpable and mute
As a globed fruit,
. . .
Because we did not have threads
of turquoise, silver, and gold,
we could not sew a sun nor sky. . . .
Elm branches radiate green heat,
blackbirds stiffly strut across fields.
Beneath bedroom wood floor, I feel earth— . . .
As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's . . .
Is this writing mine
Whose name is this . . .
Like the horn you played in Catholic school
the city will open its mouth and cry
. . .
Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned men's bones he saw bequeath
An embassy. Their numbers as he watched, . . .

Year: Junior
Age: 19
Height: 5'4
Figure: 32C-18-24
EyeColor: Blue
Taylor. I mean look at this girl! It's safe to say I love my "job". Super skinny with fantastic natural 32C's, I'm getting hard pretty much the second Taylor steps into my car. I'm picking her up from her parent's house. Turns out I didn't have to be so sneaky and park half a block away because...her Mom already knows! (Taylor doesn't reveal this little juicy tidbit until I drive her home at the end of the shoot) I know, you're thinking there's no way a girl tells her mom she's doing porn. But times have changed, brothers. Porn is now the cool thing to do for a lot of these kids these days. Taylor says her Mom doesn't approve but what is she gonna do about it, right? The outlook of bragging to her friends about being a pornstar (LOL!) outweighs any fears of being shunned by the 'rents. Taylor is not the first, nor will she be the last teen to do porn because it's the "it"-thing to do these days. And I'm not complaining.
There isn't a moment when the girl doesn't smile and giggle. It's cute how she covers her mouth when she giggles after I'm saying something even remotely naughty. She clearly hasn't been exposed to my type of sexual frankness, which just makes it all hotter. The interview questions reveal that she currently doesn't have a boyfriend, masturbates a lot, and is as excited to fuck today as I am. Taylor's boobies are making a nice big bulge in her white top (and my pants) and I can't wait for her to show me her +2's. That is about the hardest thing to get Taylor to do - after she takes off her top (and then her pants...OMG that pussy is inviting!) our little Glendale Community College floozy becomes like putty in my hands. Read on...
Taylor has that magical something that gets us guys in the mood with just her presence. You know what I mean just a few moments into the video. Usually there is a certain shyness barrier that must be broken. When cars drive by and Taylor realizes she's being seen by strangers in all her naked glory, her initial reservations about nudity and sex seem to vanish. At that point I usually know I have the girls where I want them. The next step is to ask for Roadhead. If the girl moves her body toward me a little, I know it's on - regardless of what they say at first. Such is the case with Taylor. I tell her how to best position herself in the car to suck on me, she thanks me with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, and then goes down on my already hard cock and starts sucking. And sucking. At first she only peeks at the camcorder's monitor, as if she's not sure she should be doing this and doesn't want to see herself breaking those big, bad rules of proper behavior. But then she quickly becomes addicted watching herself give head, and she gets more and more in to it. Girls don't think I notice that stuff but I do. It means I have a girl who is fascinated by watching herself have sex, which always makes for a great time. Her little pussy is juicing up as she is giving me head and I can't wait to stick my rod in it to see if she's really as tight as I think she is.
At the hotel's underground parking structure I test out my theory. It's dark, there are people driving in and out, and the adrenaline is pumping in both of us. I have Taylor suck me a bit more before I finally get to guide my cock into that little snatch of hers - tight. And I mean TIGHT. We both are looking in all directions to make sure no cameras or curious guests are part of the action (actually, I personally don't care and I think there was at least one security camera that captured us fucking but I didn't tell Taylor that). There are people coming up at us so I don't get to fuck her as long as I like, but that's okay: I'm about to cum early, that's how tight and wet Taylor is. She's still giggly, nervous, and excited about it all. Sex in public is new to her, as are a lot of things we'll be doing today, and you can tell she's not sure if she should have just done that - but being naughty like that just feels too good to pass up. But all this is nothing compared to what we'll be doing just a few minutes later when we go to my room and start the actual shoot. How far is our fun-size bang bag willing to go? You'll have to watch the video to find out, although the clip screenshots below will give you an indication. Let me just say that Taylor does not disappoint. About anything. Taylor is eager to try everything out at least once. This includes licking my ass (so good!) and having orgasms using toys, something she has not done before. Up until today, Taylor is about as sexually "experienced" as most 19 year olds. But when she leaves today she'll have fucked harder, fucked more, and done dirtier stuff than most girls do in their entire lives. And she does it all with a genuine smile and excitement on her face. So without spoiling all the good parts, just go on and download the video right now. It'll be the best 100 minutes you've spent all week and you deserve it so... have fun!

Marne Division, community pays tribute during holidays
December 20, 2013
By Sgt. Uriah Walker, 3rd ID Public Affairs
Fort Stewart, Ga. - "This is where our Warriors walk ... So it is fitting that those Warriors who do not make that last walk are memorialized around this field by the Eastern Red Bud trees you see on both sides," began 3rd Infantry Division Commanding General, Maj. Gen. John M. Murray. "This place, located in the heart of Fort Stewart, represents hallowed ground where the memories of Marne Division heroes live on ... And I assure you that every single person memorialized along this walk is truly an American Hero."
More than 140 motorcyclists from nearly 10 different clubs from as far away as Augusta, Ga. along with JROTC and Civil Air Patrol cadet volunteers were in attendance to aid in placing wreaths at the bases of the 466 Eastern Red Bud trees on Fort Stewart's Warriors Walk.
"Words cannot describe how honored I am to be able to speak to you at this 7th annual wreath laying ceremony for the 466 heroes that gave their all in defense of our nation," Murray said.
The ceremony is held each year, in conjunction with National Wreaths Across America, on the second Saturday in December. The memorial at Fort Stewart is unique because it is the only living memorial for Soldiers lost following the attacks on 9/11.
For seven years now, Wreaths for Warriors Walk, Inc. has been placing a holiday wreath at the bases of the trees of Fallen heroes as a way to honor their sacrifice and that of their Families. The trees are a living memorial to those Soldiers who, while assigned to 3rd ID, have fought, and Fallen, in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom, New Dawn or Enduring Freedom.
This year, Warriors Walk had wreaths placed by hundreds of volunteers, service members and 170 Family Members from 44 of our Hero's Families. After the wreaths had been placed, Families could be seen talking to some of the volunteers, sharing stories and tears alike.
"I'm amazed at the support and strength of these Families and the support that they give to one another," Jane Murray, Maj. Gen. Murray's wife, shared. "I don't think there's a more perfect place for the Families to be able to come and share with one another their loss and their sacrifice. The trees without leaves and the ornaments are almost more beautiful than anything I've ever seen. I will always remember this ... It's magical."

DSHA softball team outslugs Falls in GMC showdown
Everyone who came up to the scorers' table in Menomonee Falls after the DSHA softball team's 8-5 victory over the Indians in a Greater Metro Conference showdown April 28 was stunned by the final score.
Not by the fact that the 12-0 Dashers won, but by the fact that the game was so high-scoring in a matchup of two traditionally pitching-heavy programs.
"I thought that it would have been 1-0," was the common refrain.
And with DSHA's senior all-state hurler Rose Dentice toeing the rubber, one would have thought that, but the misty, miserable, winter-like, 39-degree conditions surprisingly gave advantage to the hitters, as the Dashers cracked 11 hits and the Indians eight.
Those three extra hits and two critical errors proved to be the difference, however, as the Dashers moved into sole possession of first place in the GMC at 6-0, while the rebuilding Indians fell to 5-1 in league play and 10-3 overall.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Falls golf team remains competitive fighting the weather
Though the weather might not be conducive to playing excellent and/or fun golf, the young Menomonee Falls boys squad is making the most of its early opportunities, taking ninth in the 17-team powerhouse Onalaska Invitational on April 29.
Earlier in the week, the three-freshmen strong Indians were more competitive than they looked in finishing 15th out of 26 at the Brookfield Central Skins Invite on April 27
And on Monday, April 25, the Indians tested their patience in the twice-delayed Greater Metro Conference mini-meet at Westmoor Country Club, which was eventually canceled and rescheduled for Monday, May 2.
"With the threat of stormy weather in the forecast, we knew there was the possibility of interrupted play," said coach Tony Pritchard. "By the time players had hit their first tee shots, we had suspended play and pulled them off the course.
"A 45-minute delay, and we were headed back out to our positions. Before we could complete even a hole, we were again delayed due to thunder and lightening. We finally called play for the day at 5 p.m."» Read Full Article

Catholic Memorial hires Steve Showalter to coach boys basketball
The stars seemed aligned just right.
Last month Steve Showalter resigned as an assistant coach at Division II Lindenwood University near St. Louis and announced that he planned to return to the area after one-year absence. Meanwhile, Germantown, the program he had built into a state power, was looking for a head coach.
Those who thought Showalter would return to his old stomping grounds were off the mark, though. Instead the 50-year-old was announced Monday as the new head boys basketball coach at Catholic Memorial in Waukesha, a school that also has a recent history of winning state titles in the sport.
"The thing that was special for me is they really came after me hard," he said. "They showed a lot of interest in me and talked about how much they valued me as a person and as a coach.
"I was looking for a full-time job that I could combine with coaching, and I was lucky enough to be able to find a full-time job within the school where I get to work with kids every day."» Read Full Article

Resilient Germantown boys win county track outdoor
The meet was dragging on; the wind was becoming more and more raw and biting; and the temperatures were falling to a range barely acceptable for early March, and still the Germantown track teams did not lose focus at the Washington County Invite in West Bend on April 26.
And so, despite holding some people out and limiting others because there are bigger fish to fry down the line, the Warhawks' boys squad won the eight-team event, and the girls finished a strong second.
As a father of four, whose own family was battling all sorts of cold weather-related illness, Germantown coach Greg Siegert was impressed with the team's mental toughness, especially of farm-strong sprinter Austin Mozdzen (won two events) and elite jumper and sprinter Shon Pratcher (won four events using a minimum of effort under tough conditions).
"It has been ugly (the weather), and a lot of the team has been battling illness," Siegert said. "This is a lull point in the season (about eight weeks in), and it's hard to get excited about meets in 39-degree weather, but we have high-caliber kids."

Catholic Memorial lands former Germantown boys basketball coach Steve Showalter
Former three-time WIAA state champion Germantown boys basketball coach Steve Showalter said "he had options" after he left Lindenwood University (Missouri) this spring after one season as an assistant coach for the men's basketball team.
And Showalter exercised one of those options this week, when he accepted the position of boys basketball coach and learning commons supervisor at Waukesha Catholic Memorial. It will be a salaried full-time position with benefits, something that Showalter said he was looking for when he headed back north for Wisconsin after leaving Lindenwood.
"They had a need for both," he said of the twin aspects of the job. "They thought I fit the bill for both. I'm excited to be part of the CMH community and positively influence the kids on a daily basis. I think this is really good for me and very positive for the kids as well."
Showalter will be taking over for Dean Bellanti, who left after eight seasons, including a 10-14 season this past year and a WIAA D2 state title in 2010.
Showalter spent 15 years at Germantown, transforming a former basketball backwater into an empire, turning in a record of 286-81 including WIAA D1 state titles in 2012, 2013, and 2014. In his last year of 2014-15, Germantown went 27-1, losing only to Stevens Point in the state finals.» Read Full Article

Germantown Community Scholarship Fund provides unique experience for students, to host Mud Splash
Germantown — Earth Day has taken on new meaning for the students at MacArthur Elementary School.
In honor of Earth Day, students at the school were able to view a unique traveling art exhibit that featured the work of Robert Wyland. Consisting of four colorful, large-scale panels featuring Wyland's work of marine wildlife, the opportunity allowed each class to tour the exhibit, discuss it and do a hands-on project.
None of it would have been possible without funding from a grant from the Germantown Community Scholarship Fund, which afforded art teacher Tracy Miller the grant earlier this year.
"We simply do not have the budget to be able to bring exhibits like this one to our schools," said Miller, who was one of seven recipients of the teacher grants, "but the excitement and reaction from the students was priceless."
The larger-than-life exhibit featured three, 6.5'H x 4'W panels, as well as one larger, 5.5'Hx12.5'W panel, depicting the artist's colorful, large-scale oil on canvas artwork. Actual art pieces range in size from 7' x 4' up to half a mile long with many of his murals spanning the sides of buildings and skyscrapers.» Read Full Article

Getting to know Menomonee Falls Little League President Donald Patten
Menomonee Falls — They've been busy perfecting their swing and rounding the bases since early April, but the time is now for little leaguers to dust off their cleats and head back on the field for the 26th season of Menomonee Falls Little League.
Opening day for the league is April 30, and League President Donald Patten said he couldn't be more excited for the season to start.
The charge of overseeing the group of more than 900 players that make up one of Wisconsin's largest leagues is a time-consuming, but rewarding job.
"Once the baseball season starts practicing in early April through the tournaments and fall ball, I leave work every night and head for a baseball field, either to volunteer at the MFLL complex or to umpire at different fields throughout the area," said Patten, who took over for Mark McLean this year.
A member of the Menomonee Falls Little League board since 2013, the umpire in chief was also the all-star player agent, uniform and equipment coordinator and umpire scheduler in 2015. All of that is in addition to working full-time as the master scheduler for NCL Graphic Specialties.» Read Full Article

WIAA state 400-meter dash place winner Khady Diarrassoubaflashed some of her 2015 when she turned in a a state honor-roll winning effort of 59.08 seconds in claiming her event at the West Bend West Spartan Invitational on April 22.
Diarrassouba edged out an Oconomowoc runner (59.29) for the win in the race.
The Indians also got a winning effort from the 4x200 relay team of Amber Kivisto, Rachel Aumueller, Sam Krukand Caleigh Chisholm in a season best of 1:49.58 and a victory from Chisholm in the 100 high hurdles (16.86).
Those efforts led the Indians to an eighth-place showing in the 12-school event with 551/2 points as host West won with 106.» Read Full Article
Menomonee Falls boys track team getting faster and faster
Short-handed or not, due to injuries and a myriad of situations, the Menomonee Falls boys track team is still going far and going fast, based on the Indians' pair of second-place finishes last week.
They posted a runner-up showing to a powerful New Berlin Eisenhower squad in the Sussex Hamilton Charger Invite on April 19. Falls turned in several excellent times in that meet, but most of them are unofficial because of a glitch in the timing system that occurred early on, forcing many events to be hand-timed and then adjusted for accuracy.
The Indians went even faster on Friday, April 22, when they took second to Fond du Lac at the West Bend West Spartan Invite. There the 4x100-meter relay team of Amari Hackett, Mason Jansen, Patrick Doyle and Vincent Zimmermann turned in what is believed to be the state's best time so far this season at 42.97.
"We turned in some good open times in some really good meets," said coach Bobby Regent-Smith.
The Indians will get a chance to prove themselves even further when they take part in the Marquette Invite at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 30, at Quad Park in Milwaukee. They will then head over to West Allis Hale for the Greater Metro Conference Relays on Wednesday, May 4.» Read Full Article

Obama's Political Foreign Policy

Republican presidential candidates would be making a devastating mistake if they did not also challenge the Obama administration for its many strategic errors in the War on Terror, even if they should give him credit for some tactical successes as well. The president's desire to boost his chances of reelection is affecting his national-security decisions - and this trend will only worsen as his political prospects dim.

August 2010: Phyllanthus Urinaria L., The Chamber Bitter Or Gripe Weed
August, 2010: Phyllanthus urinaria L., the chamber bitter or gripe weed
A warm-season annual weed that has become an obnoxious pest in gardens, home landscapes and other cultivated areas..

Family: Euphorbiaceae, the Spurge Family
Distinguishing Characteristics: This is an annual plant with the main stem erect, unbranched or sparsely branched and seldom more than a foot tall. The side branches with their two rows of alternate leaves resemble a compound leaf. The leaves themselves are finely hairy, nearly sessile (stalkless), oblong to narrowly obovate, blunt at the apex, and ½ - ¾ inch long. The unisexual flowers are whitish, tiny and inconspicuous, and they are borne singly or in small clusters in the axils of the leaves. The female flowers develop rapidly after pollination to produce sessile, roundish, slightly flattened, rough-textured capsules. These capsules are about 1/8 inch in diameter when ripe, and are held beneath the leaves.

Distribution: It is believed that the plant originated in tropical Asia, but it has become a pantropical weed. In the United States it is established throughout the Southeast, from Virginia to Texas, as well as in Puerto Rico. It has also been reported from a single county in Illinois.
Occurrence in Florida: The plant is common throughout the state, primarily in cultivated areas such as lawns, gardens, home landscapes and nurseries. It thrives in sun or shade. So far, it has not become invasive in natural areas.
Similar Species in Florida: The Mascarene Island leafflower, Phyllanthus tenellus, is also a common weed, and similar to P. urinaria but somewhat less prolific. It is more open and delicate in appearance, with more widely spaced leaves, and its fruits are on slender stalks, rather than being sessile. The native P. caroliniensis, a plant of wet hammocks and marshes, has fruits and leaves on the main stem, rather than only on the side branches as in P. urinaria, and its fruits are smooth rather than warty.

Means of Dispersal: This is an annual plant, and it does not sucker or root at the nodes, so it depends entirely on its seeds for dispersal. These are tiny, less than 1/16 inch across, and are borne profusely throughout the season. They are easily dispersed on gardening utensils, on shoes, by rainwater etc.
Comments: Phyllanthus urinaria is a warm-season annual, and seedlings do not appear here in northern Florida until May. The plants produce seeds throughout the season and begin to senesce in September, and then seedlings also become less profuse. Glyphosate and other herbicides are effective for control, especially at the seedling stage, but manual removal is often necessary in garden situations. This can be frustrating, because the roots are tenacious and firmly anchored in the soil, and it is often difficult to remove the plant intact. Chamber bitter is an important medicinal herb in tropical Asia, where it is used to treat kidney stones, gallstones, liver diseases and viral infections. Modern clinical studies have found it to be promising in the treatment of various tumors. Even though it is one of the very worst warm-season weeds in northern Florida gardens, it is not regulated by the state or federal government, and it is not on the FLEPPC list of invasive species. Only Alabama considers it to be a noxious weed.

DEEP Fishing Report – December Updates
DIDYMO – Invasive alga again found in the West Branch Farmington River.
The invasive freshwater alga, Didymosphenia geminata, known as "didymo" or "rock snot", was first found in the West Branch Farmington River in March, 2011. Interestingly, didymo was not found in the West Branch during spring, 2012. This lack of didymo may have been due to the high flows that occurred in late summer and fall, 2011 that scoured the substrate. However, in late November, 2012, DEEP staff did again find a fairly dense bloom of didymo at a site on the river in the Riverton area. These remain the only reports of didymo in Connecticut.
Didymo is typically found in cold, shallow streams with rocky substrate. The microscopic didymo cell produces a stalk to attach to the substrate. Under ideal conditions, blooms of didymo can form thick mats of stalk material that feel like wet wool and are typically gray, white and/or brown, but never green in color. These mats form on the bottoms of rivers and streams, and if dense may have negative impacts on the ecological, recreational and aesthetic values of rivers with suitable habitat (cold, rocky, well-lit areas).
Anglers, kayakers and canoeists, boaters and jet skiers can all unknowingly spread didymo. The microscopic cells can cling to fishing gear, waders (felt soles can be especially problematic), boots and boats, and remain viable for months under even slightly moist conditions.
Numerous clumps of didymo were found in the West Branch Farmington River in spring, 2011. Although not found during spring, 2012, DEEP staff recently (late November) found a didymo "bloom" in the river just below Riverton.
The 2nd printing of the DEEP Store's bestselling book is back in stock just in time for the holidays! This book contains full page color depth maps of popular fishing waterbodies including 113 lakes and ponds, featuring bottom contours, inflowing stream locations, fish species, neighboring roads, water surface area size, directions and launch ramp conditions. In addition, there are 20 pages of excellent color plates depicting and describing the natural history of 25 fish common to Connecticut's waters. $24.95.

The Jewish State of Relaxation
At spas around the world, activity menus focus on the body, offering the likes of hiking, exercise, body treatments and tai chi. Occasionally, spirituality can be explored in a special class or workshop. Long before the spa frenzy began filling travel columns nationwide, Jews recognized the value of spas and retreats. But these oases focus on the mind and heart, with the purpose of refreshing one's spirituality and peace of mind.
As kosher retreats are becoming increasingly popular, Jewish travel is taking on a greater spiritual dimension. Jews seeking growth, transformation and activities have been vacationing at Jewish spiritual retreats, a.k.a. Jewish spas, where spirituality is infused daylong. From the moment of arrival, creative Jewish expression is nurtured in a variety of ways. Some offer experiential prayer services where participants sing, dance or drum along. Others offer contemplative campouts, ripe for informal discussions and reflections, which tend to be led by a group leader. Jewish singing is encouraged, and retreats offer yoga, meditation, nature walk, and additional recreational activities such as sports.
Elat Chayyim (www.elatchayyim.org), a well-known Jewish retreat nestled in New York's scenic Catskill Mountains, offers weekend, weeklong and holiday retreats that join participants with rabbis, Jewish scholars and artists. Once there, partakers fill their days with recreation, prayer and workshops. According to Rabbi Shefa Gold, who teaches "Kol Zimra: Chant Leader's Training," "this energy has the potential of being focused and directed as a healing force."
Couple work is also encouraged on such retreats. Efraim and Rosalie Harris-Eisen lead a special workshop on spiritual intimacy for couples. Designed to facilitate couples to apply Jewish wisdom, text and mysticism to bring out the best in their relationship, the instructors say "couples leave 'Spiritual Intimacy' with renewed commitment, passion and compassion."
Another interesting workshops worth noting is "Torah Through Yoga." Many people practice yoga solely for the health benefits, which include increased flexibility, relaxation, improved posture, balance and muscle tone. But yoga's spiritual benefits are an integral part of the practice. Courses that blend Jewish thought with ancient practices of yoga are thought to help release emotional tension, confusion and restriction. The act of stretching and releasing tense muscles, and becoming more aware of oneself and one's environment, has been shown to have therapeutic affects.
Isralight (www.isralight.org), a popular Jewish organization in America and Israel, offers plenty of spiritual retreats at various locales, year-round. Their Web site terms their retreats "a holistic Jewish experience," and their retreats blend recreational activities such as hiking, tennis, mountain biking, swimming and volleyball with Jewish expression via song, meditation, music, prayer, yoga and yes, even massage.
Basia Wolfe of Bala Cynwyd, Pa., frequently attends Isralight retreats with her husband, Mottel.
"People are transformed by these retreats," she said, "they understand how Judaism is so deep."
According to Wolfe, guests and retreat staff tell stories by a bonfire and sing along with a guitar "until the wee hours of the night." Wolfe also enjoyed the ropes courses, boating trips and "bonding-trust group activities" and sums up the Isralight experience as one that shows Jewish people that they can find a deep spirituality in their own religion without looking elsewhere.
Jewish spas are not just about Shabbat services in the woods. Luxurious pampering and kosher cuisine can be found en masse at several spas, such as Kosher Health Institute and Spa, located at Hilton Head, S.C., and operated as a partnership between Kosher Expeditions (www.kosherexpeditions.com) and the Hilton Head Health Institute (www.hhhealth.com). The focus of some Jewish spas center less on attaining spiritual transformation, and more on transforming one's health, weight, diet and longevity. Through up-to-date research on kosher nutrition and weight loss, fitness and body image, blood pressure and stress management, the Kosher Health Institute and Spa provides a personal program tailored to an individual's needs. It differs from a traditional spa in that guests are provided with structured learning to motivate them for serious life-management strategies. Kosher culinary instruction and nutritional consultations are designed to keep guests on track long after their stay.
In line with a traditional spa's carte du jour, kosher spas offer various therapeutic massages, aromatherapy and reflexology. The aromatherapy massage uses essential oils from plants such as lavender and rosewood that are considered to have not only botanical properties but also provide a mystical healing element that brings about greater calm or energy.
By helping people reach a state of contented relaxation, mental calmness, and spiritual awareness, the solutions to life's quandaries and its perennial questions start to come into focus. In this age of self-exploration and expression, it is no wonder that Jewish retreats and spas hold such appeal.
