Update 5/17/14: Adopted!!
On April 11, a sweet young dog, just barely over a year in age, was brought to the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control facility in Baldwin Park, Calif., after being picked up as a stray.
Her intake photo is generic...she looks like "just another" homeless pit bull. But a volunteer captured her true essence in a photo...she captured the gorgeous copper color of her eyes...the same beautiful eyes which reflect intelligence and a loving heart.
We do not know this lovely girl's name, but one might choose to call her "Happy Feet" based upon her behavior when someone approaches her kennel run. "Happy Feet" dances and wiggles from head to toe when she thinks that she may have the opportunity to be on the receiving end of attention (watch a video here).
Miss Happy Feet has been at the animal control facility for nearly a month - without networking help, she may not ever have the chance to share her zest for life with a loving guardian.
Please take a moment to network on behalf of this gorgeous pup - the thought of such a happy, healthy dog being gone forever is heartbreaking.

This is one of those cases where the authorities seem to be blaming the victim for the crime of the perpetrators. Almost 3 weeks ago, a private party in Khomeini Shahr, in Central Iran was attacked by gang members. The gang put all the men in a room, locked them in, and then raped the 12 female attendees in the party. The story quickly became a national scandal and now the authorities say they have set up a "special court" and a "police task force" to expedite the trial of 14 men who are arrested in relation to this heinous crime.
This is a film version of the book of the same name (also listed) that was released to wide distribution in 2008.
Hussein Khomeini, grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Musawa Khomeini, called for the annulment of stoning. From his house in Qom, Khomieni told Al Arabiya that according to moderate scholars, the person who has the authority to impose such penalties should be someone as 'inerrant' as the Prophet, and this does not apply to anyone nowadays.
In this opinion/fatwa, Ayatollah Montazeri uses the terminology of shariah criminal law to reject the possibility of the application of the stoning sentences in contemporary societies of Muslim majority countries such as Iran. [in Persian]
For an informative English article on Montazeri's influence, see here.
This is one of the most pivotal studies on violence against women in Iran, a subject for which there are few researches and statistics. A Study of Violence Against Women in Iran includes six chapters, beginning in chapter one with the question: "Why is challenging violence against women an urgent matter?" Chapter 2 addresses the various domains where violence against women is perpetrated (public and private). In Chapter 3, Kar addresses the roots of violence against women, touching upon the legal system, the cultural make up of Iranian society, and the courts.
Kar details her personal experience defending women charged with adultery and sentenced to stoning, as well as her struggles as an anti-stoning activist.
Kar, who has worked extensively as an anti-stoning activist, details the history of women's struggles to remove stoning from the law. She explains that even though laws cannot be incongruent with religious doctrine, shortly after the revolution many religious scholars began to write opinions on the basis of "Ijtihad" (a practice of religious jurisprudence referring to independent reasoning) to attempt to convince the anti-reform power centers, that it is possible to reform Islamic law without inflicting any harm to religious doctrine.
The secretary general of Iran's HumanRights Committee, Dr. Mohammad Javad Larijani, stated that the "West" had had an extensive propaganda campaign against Iran on human rights issues, most of which are caused by political incentives. With regards to stoning, he adds that "stoning is neither torture nor an incongruous punishment." He stated that practically, stoning is no longer fulfilled in Iran and that the recent case in Takistan (in 2007) was caused by a personal mistake of the judge.
Notable in this article is the mention of President Mohhamad Khatami pushing for a change in the execution law banning stoning in 2003. Also, the eleven women members of parliament submitted a bill in early December 2002 to the 290-seat majlis to abolish the practice of death by stoning to punish adultery. This was widely interpreted as a result of pressure by the European Union.
FIDH's report documents and denounces the use of death penalty in Iran as part of a state policy of general repression aimed at creating a climate of terror among the population. The report was partially financed by the European Union.

No Good Girls
Jean Marie Pierson
2008, Chick Lit
Dorcester, $6.99, 291 pages, Amazon ASIN 0505527561
In general, Im not a big chick lit fan. I prefer straight romance, as I often find that chick lit books are just too fluffy or me (though many people would probably find that statement somewhat comical). However, No Good Girls was a very enjoyable book with a very sympathetic heroine.
Geri OBrien, who narrates this story, works for a childrens publishing company in order to pay the bills. Her real passion is writing screenplays, though she has not met with any success. She soon finds herself falling in love with her neighbor Todd. However, his mixed signals result in an embarrassing encounter when he rejects her and their fling ends.
Geri dates occasionally, but knows that her heart still belongs to Todd since she equates the breakup to her mothers abandonment when she was a child. Always there for her is her imaginary friend J.T., who showed up shortly after her mother left, and continues to counsel and talk to her. He's grown with her, from a small boy to the very attractive man he is now. He always wears a white suit and shows up when Geri whistles for him. However, everything changes when he begins popping up without a whistle in more unusual places, and hes even been mixing up his attire.
Geri is a very sympathetic character. I very much felt all her emotions pain, sadness, excitement, confusion, and contentment. Pierson did a wonderful job making her real and relatable. I was on Geris emotional roller coaster with her, and it made the read all that more engaging.
In the course of this book, Geris friends go through similar heartbreak and discovery. Though they err on the side of the much used Sex and the City style archetypes, they, too, are good, likable characters.
This story, while it ended happily, has a subtly ambiguous ending that I probably would not have noticed had I not read the reading and discussion questions before finishing the book. I am not quite sure how I feel about it. On one hand, it is fairly obvious whom Geri ends up with; on the other, why cant Pierson just say so, if its so clear? The happy ending that is alluded to in the end is also a bit too sudden to be believable, even while it was predicted throughout the book.
While romance is a heavy portion of the book, it does not drive the plot. Geri goes through a lot of growth in this book and she is a complex character. I really enjoyed coming along for her personal development and her happily ever after.
-- Jane Granville

Spicy Peanut Soup
Peanuts are the basis for this velvety soup that graced Colonial tables from Georgia to Virginia. Versions of this spicy peanut soup can also be found throughout West Africa. For a tasty twist, use canned, unsweetened coconut milk instead of the half-and-half.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
6 scallions
1 medium celery stalk
1/2-inch piece fresh ginger
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup smooth, natural peanut butter
1/2 cup half-and-half or unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt to taste, about 1/2 teaspoon
Chopped dry roasted peanuts for garnish
Chop the white parts of the scallions only.
Chop and set aside the green parts of 3 scallions (for garnish).
Chop the celery.
Mince the ginger.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the vegetable oil.
Add the chopped scallion white parts and celery to the pot.
Sauté, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 2 teaspoons ginger and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the chicken broth.
Simmer until the broth is hot and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
For a velvety texture, strain the solids and return the liquid to the pot.
Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add the peanut butter, half-and-half, and cayenne pepper; stir to blend.
Simmer until the soup is heated through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Don't let the soup boil to prevent the half-and-half from curdling.
Season with salt to taste.
Serve, garnished with peanuts and the reserved scallion greens.

Dr. Criado in Michigan
|Watch this

Newly diagnosed after 3 years of chronic pain. Saw Dr. Criado at the university of Mich. and he is recommending surgery. Has antone had experience with him? I have been to 6 physical therapist over the years with no relief and haven't found a pain med that works. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Hi! I live in the Nashville, TN area so I don't have any experience with Dr. Criado. However, I spent about 4 years in chronic pain before I found an acupuncturist that was able to relieve the pain. I had also gone through a ton of physical therapists and a bunch of other specialists...including two orthopedic surgeons who told me surgery was my only option but that they didn't recommend it unless I was in so much pain that I just couldn't stand it anymore. Removing a rib is a huge procedure and often results in more problems than you started with...and the recovery period is pretty long. I considered the surgery because I was going out of my mind with pain and wasn't even able to work because the muscles in my hands had atrophied to the point where I couldn't hold a pencil. Now I hardly struggle with it at all anymore and I've been able to resume my life...thanks to one great acupuncturist who taught me about trigger point release.
You might have the same problem that I had...the physical therapy didn't work for me because my neck/upper back/chest muscles were full of trigger points (muscle knots) that were pulling my bones out of alignment (which restricted the thoracic outlet & caused the crushing of my brachial plexus). The PT's were giving me strengthening exercises which actually made the symptoms worse...my muscles simply needed to relax (aka the trigger points needed to be released). My acupuncturist released my trigger points with needles, and after a couple of months I started feeling real relief from the pain. Then I found a massage therapist who specialized in trigger point massage and eventually I learned how to release my own trigger points using a book called The Trigger Point Therapy Manual. Here is a link to amazon: (http://www.amazon.com/Trigger-Point... This book recommends using trigger point release tools called the Backknobber and Theracane (just google these & you can find the cheapest price...I got mine for around $30). I have the Backknobber and this is what I used to release my own trigger points. I'm sure the Theracane is awesome too...it was just more expensive.
I found that none of the medical doctors I talked to had an understanding of how muscle tension plays a role in TOS. I would ask your doctor about trigger points and see if he knows anything about it. I find it incredibly disheartening that doctors are removing their patients bones in order to "fix" a dysfunction of the muscles. I know it might sound too good to be true, but I am living proof that you can heal yourself and keep all of your ribs. You might also want to read my response to the last post in our group...I included more details about my story. I would love to help you in any way that I can.
Take care,

I also have been diagnosed with TOS by my chiropractor, and he gave me exercises to do that strengthen my back (also recommended breast cancer reduction surgery, but that is not financially feasible at this time). I was also given wrist braces to wear, but I think that was more for carpal tunnel than the TOS. I totally recommend finding a good chiropractor (and not all of them are good, so be careful) as they seem to understand things like TOS better than medical doctors.
Hope that helps!

Before you try surgery, I just found a massager that takes my pain from the top of the pain scale right down to the bottom of it, and you only need to use it for 10 mins. at a time! It is made by Quantum and it is called a Tapping Massager - for deep and soothing relief for hard to reach muscles. I was very ansy about trying it, I didn't think that it would do much, as I was in extreme pain (chest and whole arm). I used it for 5min in the store, then for 20 more when I got home. The next morning I woke up and was shocked at how much better I felt!
I have been using it every day since, I have had some minor pain, but I use the massager and the pain eases.
The massager is like a vest that goes over your shoulders, you do not have to hold it in your hands, it can be moved up and down your back easily.
I managed to get it for $20, so much cheaper than the pain meds that weren't working!

I have seen Dr. Criado as well and am in the process if weighing my options of having surgery. I am very scared but I hear he is amazing. I was diagnosed last year after suffering for 3 years. I am on here to try to find someone to talk to about what to expect post surgery. Haven't found a single thing that works for me either.

German Cardinal: Women Should Stay at Home, Have Babies
In an interview last week with the German newspaper Stuttgarter Zeitung, Cardinal Joachim Meisner — Archbishop of Cologne and the leader of German Catholicism's conservative wing — said that the country should focus less on immigration and more on procreation in addressing its declining birthrate.
Criticizing German Chancellor Angela Merkel's policy of encouraging foreigners to come to Germany as guest workers, Meisner said,
Where are women really publicly encouraged to stay at home and have three or four children? One should intervene here and not – as Mrs Merkel does currently – present immigration as the solution to our demographic problem.
We cannot take the young people away from Portugal and Spain and thus rob their countries of their future just out of egotism. We should train these unemployed people and offer them perspectives, but then allow them to return home where they are needed. [emphasis added]
Translation: the German government should encourage women to leave their careers and become broodmares for the state.
Eesh. Call me crazy, but hearing nativist motherhood propaganda from the mouth of a high-profile German gives me the creeps, especially because this same prelate previously compared abortion in that country with the Holocaust. Seriously.

Men's Basketball Falls In Regular-Season Finale At Butler, 86-82
Feb. 26, 2005
Indianapolis, Ind. - Despite shooting 60% from the field, the UIC men's basketball team was unable to erase an early 18-point deficit, falling at Butler 86-82 in the regular-season finale for both teams at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
With the loss, the Flames (14-13, 8-8) will now be the No. 5 seed at next week's American Family Insurance Horizon League Tournament. UIC will take on either Butler or Cleveland State in an opening round game on Tuesday, March 1st, at 7:00 p.m., at the UIC Pavilion.
Senior Cedrick Banks, who finished with a game-high 28 points, became UIC's all-time scoring leader with a three-pointer at the 17:42 mark of the first half. Banks passed Kenny Williams (2,025 points), as he has now scored 2,052 points during his career.
Sophomore Jovan Stefanov (12 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists), senior Armond Williams (10 points) and freshman Karl White (10 points) were also in double figures for the Flames on Saturday.
Junior Brandon Polk paced Butler (13-14, 7-9) with 27 points while Brandon Crone chipped in with a career-high 20. Rookie A.J Graves also tossed in 16 points for the Bulldogs, who shot 53% from the field in the contest while netting 12 three-pointers.
"It's the first time I've ever been associated with a game where we have shot 60% and lost," UIC Head Coach Jimmy Collins said after the game. "Our defense on the perimeter was lacking today.
"You can't trade 2's for 3's."
UIC fell behind early as Butler was up by 10 within the first seven minutes and later owned an 18-point advantage, 32-14, with just 11:30 gone in the game as a Bruce Horan three-pointer capped a 10-2 Bulldog run.
The Flames whittled the lead back to 10 at intermission, 42-32.
UIC found its shooting touch in the second half, netting 22 field goals in the stanza on 64% shooting. White scored all of his 10 points in the frame.
The Flames would pull within three points six minutes into the second stanza, but that would be as close as they would get until a steal and Justin Bowen lay-up with seven seconds left cut the Bulldogs lead to 84-82.
Graves would follow with two free throws to seal the victory for Butler.

Boston is using creatively-concepted, highly-visual social media campaigns to bring city operations and services further than ever before; closer daily engagement promotes better emergency readiness. For instance, Public Works' #SpotHoles campaign helped fill more than 2,000 potholes powered by social media & CRM, and summer construction season was reimagined as a summer blockbuster movie theme via #BlockbusterBOS.
#BlockbusterBOS Video
Furthering the Mayor's drive to reach residents where they are, expanded social offerings include a new Facebook page and upcoming social media training for seniors who are online at a higher rate than ever before; residents can now tweet location requests to the mobile City Hall To Go truck. City programs and departments have embraced multi-agency Twitter chats. For the first time, the Boston Redevelopment Authority announced a Twitter chat as digital town hall alongside a slate of traditional community meetings, explaining Urban Agriculture rezoning tweet by tweet. Chats create opportunities to connect personally with City thought leaders, such as the mayor's #HubMoveIn student welcome chat, as well as this emergency preparedness chat.

Emergency Prepardness Chat
Most crucially, daily engagement via social media forges relationships that ready Bostonians to receive public safety information during emergencies and recovery efforts. In 2013, an official City of Boston social media policy was instituted alongside the rollout of an enterprise social media management tool, in order to provide centralized oversight and governance. During peak emergency periods, the enterprise platform enhances internal coordination, consistency and reliability across the multichannel social media program. Following the Boston marathon bombing, Boston partnered with Twitter for a Promoted Tweet campaign which elevated safety and recovery messages to a global trend, generating 101 million impressions in a few hours and jumpstarting the 500K digital donations that made up more than $5 million of the One Fund in its debut hours. (Mashable). This digital memorial Tumblr not only digitally preserved artifacts left near the bombing site but also invited user submission via Tweet. The City of Boston was a founding participant in Twitter's new "Twitter Alerts" feature, which raises the visibility of emergency updates over social media.

From the PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW:
State spending increased at nearly twice the rate of inflation since 2003 when Gov. Ed Rendell took office, and the state's financial situation could worsen dramatically next year, Auditor General Jack Wagner said Wednesday.
The state budget grew about 33 percent, from $21 billion to $28 billion, during Rendell's tenure as the Consumer Price Index rose about 18 percent, Wagner said.
As a result, the Legislature and the next governor "face the worst fiscal crisis in our history" when they craft a 2011-12 budget next year — one that could have a deficit of as much as $5 billion, said Wagner, a Democrat like Rendell…

- Official Site: TheVampiresAssistant.net
- Release Date: October 23, 2009
- Director: Paul Weitz
- Main Actors: John C. Reilly, Chris Massoglia, Salma Hayek, Josh Hutcherson
The latest young adult fantasy novel to get a big-screen adaptation, Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, follows the first three books in Darren Shan's 12-book series. Chris Massoglia plays Darren, your typical bored teenager -- that is, until his bad influence of a best friend Steve (Josh Hutcherson) drags him along to see a traveling freak show called Cirque du Freak. There he meets a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly), and both Darren and Steve get unwittingly pulled into a centuries-old war between vampires and a far deadlier rival faction called the vampaneze.
Merging three books into one movie means the pace moves quickly with The Vampire's Assistant, which attempts to do for vampires what Harry Potter did for wizards. But without quite the same massive built-in audience, director Paul Weitz has a lot more work to do to lay the groundwork for a potential hit franchise. And with its promises of epic future battles and constant reminders of the great "destinies" that lay before its characters, The Vampire's Assistant is unfortunately more concerned with setting up those sequels than actually earning them. It doesn't help that Cirque du Freak's familiar plot of betrayal and revenge isn't nearly as interesting as the collection of freaks itself -- which gets completely overshadowed by all the ridiculously meaningless talk of vampires, half-vampires and vampaneze. However, Weitz, who is best known for his low-key comedies In Good Company and About a Boy (along with the less-than-low-key American Pie), does his best to keep this unwieldy story under control, while potentially intriguing characters like Willem Dafoe's vampire general drop in and out of the film. And while the visuals here certainly look nice, overall the spectacle doesn't offer many new thrills.
Saying The Vampire's Assistant is more like Harry Potter than Twilight is a little like saying your friend's whiny new band is more indie than emo: it's certainly better, but that doesn't really change the fact that you probably wouldn't watch either unless someone made you. Despite a few subversively clever one-liners, this is still a movie for kids, no matter how mildly dark it may get. And while it provides a few interesting twists on the familiar vampire mythology, there's absolutely nothing new about The Vampire's Assistant's classic young adult adventure story. Fortunately, though, John C. Reilly plays Crepsley like he's in a Will Ferrell movie and Salma Hayek's voluptuous bearded lady is sans beard for most of the film. However, much like the rest of the members of the Cirque du Freak, Salma spends far too little time on-screen to be a true draw. The Vampire's Assistant's much-better-than-expected sense of humor means you'll easily be able to sit through it should you have to chaperon (or if you were a fan of the books), but otherwise, it's hard to see many guys racing out to see this.

- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 medium navel oranges, peeled and sectioned
- 2 cups seedless red grapes
- 2 medium kiwifruit, peeled and chopped
- 1 medium peach, chopped or 3/4 cup frozen sliced peaches, thawed and chopped
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries

kotor patch error!!!!!!?
I have downloded the KOTOR Patch 1.03 from lucas arts site with getright
when i double click the file to run i get an error that says:
" Installer corrupted or incomplete
This could be the result of a failed download or corruption from a virus
If desperate, try the /NCRC command line switch (NOT recommended)"
I dont think the download has failed
my computer has updated norton antivirus and has no virus
why i get this error
what can i do?
I know I always say this but, why don't you contact lucasarts?
I think it's going to be verry quicker if you do that;)
Wow, I had the same problem. Please report back if you can start it up :)
Re-Download the file and keep an eye on it. The download mustn't have reached 100%, I'll bet.
It happens sometimes when the download managers get stuck and they can't retrieve further data, they just consider download complete.
IE's downloader is the most prone to this sort of stuff.
I download the patch again and that solve the problem
i think my isp cashed the wrong adress that time

Squirrel chasing, catching and hopefully, releasing is becoming a rite of passage for Auburn running backs trying to prove their speed and immune system while tracking a possible rabies-stricken squirrel through the woods of Alabama.
Tre Mason posted a picture on Instagram and Twitter late Monday evening of himself holding a squirrel with the caption: "Catch squirrels to test your speed!"
Mason has been chasing squirrels to test his speed since September when he tweeted: "Just caught my first squirrel. Did it on the 2nd try!

Nancy and Billy Greer met in 1978 while attending neighboring colleges.
Nancy was a social work major and Billy was biology/pre-med. They
married in 1982 and have been full partners in each others lives ever
since and have worked together almost continuously. They have
exemplified the concept of Yin and Yang, bringing together skills and
ideas that complemented each other and enabled them to do more
than either might accomplish on their own. They are both passionate
about what they do, which is easy to see if you spend a few minutes
talking to them!

Tim is known for his rigorous workouts in class. He enjoys instructing because it gives a deeper understanding of the forms and the fighting aspects of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. He also enjoy watching students progress from beginner to advanced levels.
He continues to train to improve flexibility, stamina and strength and to improve his self-defense skills.
Jose Vega
Jose began training at Jing Ying in 2004 and earned his black sash in July of 2008. He's been an active member of our demo team and competition team. He's known for his powerful style and especially his weapons work.

She quickly fell in love with the physical and mental challenges of learning Kung Fu. When she started, it seemed like it would be hard to find time to train twice a week, but now she says it's hard to go for a day without Kung Fu!
Lane taught our Kung Fu Kids program, and organized and helped run the Demo Team. She finds that instructing others helps her gain a deeper understanding of the forms.
She is Jing Ying's most prolific medal winner with a national championship in advanced level sparring and in advanced level tai chi forms. She has won numerous other gold medals for sparring, forms, weapons and tai chi and is known for her flexibility.
She has her BSN and works as an ER nurse. Her busy schedule means she is no longer at Jing Ying 6 days a week, but she helps out in classes and in performances when she can.

The Rex Organization proudly announced a theme for this year's Rex Parade in a formal invitation published on its website.
This year, revelers at Mardis Gras will enjoy "Gods of All Ages," a theme the organization says will help us find something greater than ourselves:
...Since the beginning of time, man has searched for something greater, some force or entity beyond his harsh mortal sphere. The theme of the 2014 Rex Procession, "Gods of All Ages" depicts gods and goddesses of antiquity. Ancient deities reflected the wonder of the celestial bodies, the changing seasons, and powerful beasts, both real and imagined. Ancient cultures loved, feared and sought to appease their powerful gods. Their fearsome and colorful images have endured through the millennia, inspiring the design of the 2014 Rex Procession.
The parade, with nearly 30 floats and 450 costumed riders, will rattle and hum along St. Charles Ave. starting at 10:00 Mardi Gras morning, March 4.
Rex, of course, is the King of Carnival. The invitation to his parade has been a "royal" tradition here since 1872. Today, Rex invited Mardis Gras visitors to "... gather, from far and near, to join in the many celebrations and processions which will shortly unfold under the joyful Carnival banner."
The New Orleans Convention & Visitors Bureau issued a press release announcing the invitation, stating that the beautiful design incorporates artwork from 1886.
Other admonishments by Rex include:
- that the joyous music of Carnival shall fill the streets of his Capital City, multiplying all merriment;
- that fair weather and blue skies shall prevail, that multitudes might gather and celebrate without impediment;
- that the Royal Constabulary shall marshal the Grand Celebration with their customary skill and tolerance;
- and that the keepers of inns, taverns, and eating establishments in his beloved Capital City shall throw open their doors to receive all Carnival Celebrants.
Mardis Gras kicks off a bit later this year, since Lent doesn't begin until Wed. Mar. 5.
If you've never been to NOLA for Mardis Gras, this will be an ideal time. Weather is a little warmer for flying but still temperate enough to enjoy a dance through Jackson Square with your sweetie.

By SUSAN McKIERNAN
Medina Community Design Committee
In 1946, nearly 13 million people returned from active service, anxious to start a new life in their own little house. The booming post-war economy and a generous program for vets — the Servicemen's Readjustment Art (G. I. Bill) provided federally insured 30-year mortgages with no down payment and low interest rates.
There had been a housing shortage before the war, due to the Depression. Housing starts fell from 937,000 in 1925 to 93,000 in 1933. By the end of the war, 3,600,000 American families needed homes.
Although money was available, first-time homeowners were not looking for large homes. Inflation was high, there was a shortage of materials and contractors with so many customers preferred to erect many small houses rather than fewer large ones. The average post-war house was smaller than that prior to 1940.
Builders weren't content to put up a house here or there on a vacant lot. Fields and pastures sprang into instant neighborhoods, the birth of the "tract†or "allotment†house. Distance was not a problem. The popularity of the car meant that homes no longer had to be near towns or bus lines.
Post-war families also wanted to streamline and modernize their lives. Houses could be small, but essential conveniences included a built-in range, washer and dryer, a utility area, a garage or carport, and all on one level with no stairs. Family life was informal, so the interior space was open with multi-purpose rooms flowing into one another. The kitchen/dining area was open to the living room, but the loss of privacy was offset by the illusion of space. A bathroom and two to three bedrooms completed the interior. Non-essentials like fireplaces, front porches and built-ins were abandoned and closets were tiny, rarely more than 3 feet wide.
Often the basement was omitted in favor of an economical concrete slab. The long end of the house faced the street, making it seem larger and providing backyard space for the kids and leisure activities. The front porch became a little slab or a bit of overhang as porches and patio moved to the back. This created a boxy rectangle known as the ranch house — perfect for the modern look and compact spaced preferred by post war homeowners. The new American invention TV was responsible for the "rec†room or family room that soon became the most important space in the house.
New materials utilized in the war were adapted for construction. Plywood, thermal glass and construction glues were used. Concrete block replaced tile or stone basements. Hollow core slab doors and long, high bedroom windows completed the modern look. Garage doors were showcased at the front of the house and diamond and chevron shapes decorated the doors. A picture window highlighting the small but formal living room became standard. Construction was standardized on an assembly line to speed up the building process.
In the most famous examples, the Levittowns of New York and New Jersey, a new house of 800 square feet was completed every 15 minutes. Options were priced at a premium to discourage them and assembly-line production resulted in speed and economy. This led to a few standardized models built throughout the country regardless of regional design traditions and materials.
While these houses were seen by the critics as "tacky†and were not embraced as good design, they served the needs of the young family. The split-level arrived about 1950 and allowed more living space on a smaller lot. The formal areas (living and dining room), family areas like the kitchen and family room and private rooms such as bathrooms and bedrooms were separated by levels. A central stairway led conveniently to all levels. These compact houses were roomy for their size, easily added on to, and individualized by surface decorative details. Shutters flanking the picture window created a Colonial version. A flat roof, earth-toned colors and large chimney individualized your home into a western ranch. Brick or vertical siding or paint colors could differentiate your house from your neighbors'. Or you could turn one room perpendicular to the body of the house and create an L-shaped model.
As a perfect fit for the needs of young families these "constructor modern†houses were immensely popular and are still built today.

Ich tue mich schwer, diese englische Phrase ins Deutsche zu übersetzen. Als temporäre Lösung hätte ich: »Ein ruhiges Gewissen haben.« Allerdings soll das deutsche »Get complete peace of mind« ohne Kontext dastehen, was mit der gewählten Übersetzung irgendwie nicht ganz so passt.

The translation
doesn't completely capture the original as it assumes that a troubled conscience, i.e. your wrongdoing, be the cause of your unsettled mind, while there can be numerous other reasons ( being overworked, economic hardship, emotional stress etc. ).
Better use
(as suggested by @embert), though that assumes there has been an inner fight that has worn you down (in common speech though, the recipient probably wouldn't wonder ).
I'd recommend the imho most widely applicable
which also conveys a meditative notion.

This is a discussion on Are you comfortable with Appendix carry? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; never point a firearm at something you don't want to destroy....
never point a firearm at something you don't want to destroy.
I'm married to my Kahr.
I used to carry an appendix carry with a small revolver. That was some years ago when my clothing was different - I don't wear untucked shirts anymore - and my belt size was considerably less. (Ahem.)
The main problem I had was the 'poking' problem. It can get very uncomfortable while seated, especially driving a car. The other problem is relieving one's self in a public restroom. The set up is difficult to conceal and control with one's trousers unzipped or undone. On the other hand, it is very quick to acquire and produce in a pinch.
As far as it pointing at my body, I just don't carry guns that fire on their own. All of life is a compromise. One does not get something for nothing.
On a humorous note, one woman did in fact once ask me the Mae West question, "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"
I smiled my charming smile and said, "Yes".

Dear Friends,
This Tuesday is Super-Duper Tuesday.
We've come pretty far down the road in this Presidential election cycle, and the wide-open races on both sides of the aisle have narrowed significantly. Tuesday, of course, is another significant step in the process, when some 22 states have primaries or caucuses.
I'd like to offer two thoughts on the process.
One is participation. We need to reach out to like-minded people and urge them to participate in the process, let their voices be heard, and have an influence on this election.
The second thought regards how we decide whom to vote for.
Along with the obvious need to evaluate the candidates' positions on the issues, starting with the foundational ones, we also have to consider that having the right positions on an issue does little good unless the candidate with the right positions actually gets elected.
Therefore, one should consider – from whatever side of the issues one is coming – whether his or her candidate has the ability to win against the possible opposing candidates in November.
That is a consideration which many people miss, but which is essential.
And, of course, let's all pray that the election process of 2008 will bring our nation forward on the path of virtue and righteousness.
Fr. Frank Pavone

Being a single mom does not come without its share of challenges. You have to work, do all of the household chores, take care of the kids, and everything else which means it can be hard to find time to date. Many single moms are turning to online dating as a way to get back into the dating scene; however, they are finding that there are several challenges and hurdles to get through in the online dating world. The following tips will help any single mother who wants learn how to successfully find a man online.
1) Your profile- Your profile tells the story of who you are. If your picture is not just right and you don't say the right things in your online dating profile then you are not going to get very many men to notice you. In his self-study course, Online Allure, relationship expert Michael Fiore explains why many women's online dating profile is secretly betraying them and he gives a man's eye view of guy repulsing mistakes that many women make online. Watch the short video on his website to find out how to get your dating profile just right to attract the type of men you want.
2) Make men fantasize- Don't tell men every detail of your life upfront. Give him small details about your life and keep him asking questions. By giving him just enough information you are slowly making him interested in you and making him fantasize about having a life with you. If you tell him your whole life story upfront, then there is no need for him to ask questions and he will decide right then and there whether he is interested in knowing more about you.
3) Date more than one- Because you were in a marriage previously you are pre-programmed to think that dating more than one guy at a time is a bad thing. You must break that way of thinking if you want to find Mr. Right online. Don't be afraid to date more than one man, because you will get a variety to choose from. You will then be able to pick and choose the ones you like and the ones you do not like. Keep dating the ones you like until you figure out which one is going to go somewhere. If you only date one man at a time then you find out a few months later that it's not going to work out, then you have wasted a few months of your time.
4) Don't get attached too soon- Men are very skittish creatures when it comes to dating. If you get attached too soon then he is going to see you as being needy and you will likely scare him away. Take things slow and easy and make sure that you are both on the same page before making a commitment.
5) Keep your distance- Long-distance online dating is okay if that is what you both want; however, you should both establish upfront that a long-distance relationship is all you will ever want. If not, one of you is bound to become attracted to the other and the relationship is doomed to end in disappointment when one of you will not pick up your life and re-locate to be with the other.
6) Show interest- Don't let him be the only one asking questions in your exchanges. Ask him questions about himself and his life so you can find out more about him. You also want to show that you are interested in getting to know more about him. If you make everything about you, then you might as well start looking for someone else to talk to, because he is going to disappear very quickly.
7) Don't give out your phone number- This one is important for a number of reasons. By giving out your phone number too quickly, you are giving the guy access to you 24/7. What if it turns out that you don't like the guy but you can't get him to quit calling you? Plus, with modern technology it is very easy to use someone's phone number to find their address and that situation could turn ugly very quickly. So, if you are going to give a guy your number, make sure it is one that you have been chatting with for a while online first.
Before you start off on your online dating adventure, make sure you follow the first tip and get your profile perfect. As mentioned, Michael Fiore can show you how to tweak your profile so that you will have guys absolutely going crazy wanting to meet you. Take a look at his website Online Allure and get tips on how to create your online dating profile perfectly before you get started.
One final tip that will help you tremendously is if you take a look at The Secret Survey. This is a survey in which 30,000 men responded to the question, "What's the one thing you desperately wish your woman knew about men but could never tell her." Those responses were then researched and consolidated to give women an insight into how men really think. You will definitely find it interesting and it will give you an advantage with any man you are interested in. You can take a look at The Secret Survey here.
Any single mom can use these online dating tips to find the right guy in 2014. It is a matter of applying the information that you have. Out of all the tips you just read, making sure your profile perfectly tells the story of who you are is the most important. If you take the time to get your profile in order, then you will be able to attract the right type of guys and land the one you want.

This entry was posted on November 7, 2011.
Sometimes we wonder how it would be if a woman's hair life would be just as easy as a mans. Most boys don't have to style their hair. They can simply get up and go. They hop in the shower, run their fingers through their hair, apply a little bit of gel, and they are on their way.
However...with most women this just isn't possible. But we can't help but think, what if it was possible? You might feel liberated, but then you'd look in the mirror and might not like your hair do. This is what would or could happen if you decided to get up and go:
You'd Miss Your Straight Hair
Do you have naturally curly locks but you prefer them to be straight? If you woke up and headed out the door you'd be stuck with out of control tresses that you just wouldn't know what to do with.
Men may be able to just head out the door without straightening their hair, but women who prefer straight hair have to take twenty minutes or more to straighten their locks. Well, unless they have a straight virgin Indian hair extensions. Now this would make styling hair a lot easier. ;)
You'd Encounter a ton of Frizz
Even if you have naturally straight hair, everyone encounters frizz. Even guys encounter frizzy hair, but we think that they look "cool" with it. With women, their hair is considered unruly. Women like their their hair to be straight and sleek. We admit that using a product that helps tame your frizz isn't that time consuming, it just more of having to put it in your hands and then taking the time to wash them. Let's face it - having beautiful hair comes at a price.
Can you Imagine Life Without a Curling Iron?
Yes, sometimes naturally curly locks are nice, but isn't a curling iron equally as nice to curl a few unruly curls that aren't going the right direction? We're sure some male models or even every day guys with all sorts of professions curl their hair, right? Well, we're not sure. But if they do - props to them!
Women like to curl their locks to pronounce and add volume. Curling hair also is handy for creating an up do. Without a curling iron you'd have a wavy natural look, but not thick and luxurious curls. We don't know about you but we'd miss this look.
We Think Girls Have More Fun
In conclusion, even though men have the liberty to get up and go, women get the luxury to get up and take their time styling their hair. It not only is therapeudic, but it results in self confidence and feeling beautiful. Isn't it nice going to work and getting compliments on your hair? Or being able to style a new outfit with gorgeous locks that look stunning? We think that guys may enjoy getting up and going, but we enjoy styling our hair and looking glamorous.

It's two in a row for the Arizona women's basketball team...that's two consecutive Pac-10 Freshman of the Year awards. Last year, Dee-Dee Wheeler was the first Wildcat to garner the award since Adia Barnes. This season it was Shawntinice Polk's turn and this says volumes about where Arizona women's basketball is headed!
In everyone's mind, last season was a disaster for Joan Bonvicini's team. The Cats fell to 14-14 and lost their first outing in the Pac-10 Tournament. Some questioned Coach B's ability to turn things around, and the future looked dim. Now, as we enter the post-season, it is obvious that these people were wrong. The Cats are playing their best basketball of the year, and folks are beginning to notice.
At last night's Pac-10 Awards Banquet, Arizona's young talent was on prominent display. Along with Polkey's Freshman of the Year award, she and Dee-Dee Wheeler were All Pac-10 Team honorees. Polkey was also chosen to the five-member Pac-10 All-Freshman team, while Natalie Jones was honorable mention All-Freshman. That's five major awards for two freshmen and a sophomore. Indeed, the future looks bright for Arizona women's basketball.
Joan Bonvicini's take on things was similar. During her Friday morning press conference in San Jose, Joan was asked what these young players mean to her team. She said, "I think what this says for us is a great future."
She and others also believe that the future is bright for the entire conference. Only two seniors were named All-Pac-10, and the team consisted of two sophomores and two freshmen. UCLA and Arizona both offer terrific incoming recruits, and Stanford always finds the best players in the country. So, while the Wildcats continue to improve, their conference will become more difficult too.
It will not be long before Shawntinice Polk will be the standard-bearer for the entire Pac-10. Arizona's young talent will continue to make it a top-20 program. After all, it's two years in a row that the Wildcats have introduced the best young player to the Pac-10. The future must be bright for Arizona women's basketball!
See you on the radio!

Don't Forget Greek Implementation Risk
In return for the price of yet more loans, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank are looking for the Greek parliament to legislate another round of austerity.
Judging by the public outcry and crumbling political will, its ability to do this is by no means certain. But even if the Greek government was to push through another €80 billion or so of cost cuts, tax increases and asset sales, investors would have to believe these can be implemented. And this is a big ask.
Take taxation. Like every other European country, Greece has volumes of statutes on what's taxable, who's liable and how it's to be collected. But these aren't very meaningful in a society where evasion (never mind avoidance) is endemic, not least because of the bribery culture among bureaucrats and tax collectors. So taxes are imposed but not collected.
Even asset sales won't necessarily be as advertised. As long as the assets are immovable, in other words under Greek jurisdiction, buyers will need to discount the possibility of eventual renationalization. Which could happen if Greece was to leave the euro after all and shed some of its other legal obligations to the EU. But even if there are safeguards against the state confiscating assets, there's always the risk it will do the next closest thing: tax the assets to the point where they are worthless to the owners or even a costly liability.
The troika of supranational agencies would have to be able to somehow ensure enforcement on the part of the Greek government.
Would this mean imposing German–or Dutch or Finnish–accountants, tax collectors, police, and judges on the country?
And even if other European states were willing to allow for some slippage in the interest of saving the euro, how much leeway would they be willing to allow Greece in exchange for a fig leaf of reform? Would Greece's creditors really be willing to accept the risk Greece reverts to the cynical approach it had towards its European paymasters in the years before the crisis?
Until Greece's rescuers know themselves what type of Greece they're willing to accept and what measures they're willing to impose, all these temporary rescues will be just that. They will merely delay the inevitable.

Having caught up with Davey Pierce, half of the duo that is Yip Deceiver, who was on his way from Denver to Salt Lake City on their 14-date tour that includes a 3-day stop in Austin, Texas for the 2014 SXSW Music Festival, he graciously made time to answer a few questions and provide an update on Yip Deceiver.
Examiner: How did the show go in Denver?
Davey Pierce: "Things went really, really well in Denver. There were a lot of people there and we had a good time."
E: Your debut, Medallius, is catchy, fun, and infectious. You've discussed your songs as starting out differently than what they eventually become. What was your mindset going into writing and recording the album?
DP: "We never sat down and said, all right, it's time to record an album. We work on ideas as they come along. You know, we'll start with a bass line or keyboard line or vocal melody, or whatever it is --- and just build on it, build on it, build on it, until it's basically about to collapse or we hate it. And then we (laughting) start over and do it again. The album itself took a long time record because we were writing it while we were recording it."
E: With so many musical genres and sub-genres used to describe today's music, yours seems to be a cross-sections of sounds -- electrofunk, synth-pop, indie R&B, and the self-described, smooth punk. Where did smooth punk come from?
DP: "That was Dobby's (Nicholas Dobbratz) idea --- he said it one day and (laughing) I actually really liked that. We do kinda think of it like that. It's the same messages and everything but with a different aesthetic, with a little bit softer edges. You know, we're not as angsty and angry about things."
E: After numerous listens to Medallius, the indie R&B label seems to fit well too because it has strong grooves.
DP: "We pride ourselves on our grooves."
E: Those genre descriptions would cover a lot of artists but who specifically are your influences?
DP: "Ah man, you know there are so many of them. We're very heavy influenced by R&B. I said Luther Vandross a hundreds of times in interviews because I really am very heavy influenced by Luther Vandross, and Marcus Miller, but I also love Elvis Costello and Jawbreaker, and older funk stuff. All across the board, just a lot of everything. Basically, if it's good, I enjoy it. And if I find something in their that touches something with me, it becomes one of my influences."
E: Since your channeling an 80s sound that is reminiscent of Thomas Dolby and New Order, are these bands you liked and listened to or just the nature of the music?
DP: Well, you know it might be a little bit of both, especially Thomas Dolby. If you're into synthesizers and you don't like Thomas Dolby then you're not really into synthesizers, are you? It's hard to divorce a lot of that stuff from what you do. But I don't think we consciously think of Duran, Duran, Wang Chung or Thomas Dolby, while we're actually writing, but we grew up with it. It's engrained in us, their sensibility and how they did things. It's in there whether you want it to be or not a lot of the times.
E: What's the appeal of the 1980s techno sound in writing and creating your music?
DP: "Well, you know, a lot of it's a process. We like how you're forced to operate with these kinds of things. It's not a non-linear style of looking at a computer screen, and it tells you what you did and where it is, you can just click all around it and do all this stuff. As you write, it's a forward motion and therefore, I feel like things develop organically.
I think a lot of it is pretty much limitations for me. Like when I have unlimited choices and options, you know, I'll have found a spot and be catatonic in a way (laughing), because I just can't decide."
E: Did you use Moog synthesizers on your recording?
DP: "Yeah, a lot of the bass lines were done on a Moog, a Little Phatty, actually. We do like the Moog stuff. It's one of those things that even Moog is getting so complicated now it takes me forever to figure out. Dobby got one of their newer ones, and I sat down with it for awhile and I just couldn't figure it out. It's like, hold this button and turn the thing and it does this thing. I just like knobs, you know."
E: On the song, Tops Part II, you've said it started out as an homage to Kashmir (Led Zeppelin). Is there a Tops Part II/Kashmir remix?
DP: "I have the original instrumental version of it. There were a couple of synthesizers we usually use live but we can't really do it anymore. I thought maybe I should put this over this thing and see what happens, kind of thing. But I figured it was one those things where I just let it be in its own little fantasy world because, (laughing) it might actually turn out to be terrible."
We channeled it into a Teddy Riley/New Jack Swing kind of thing. Basically, I didn't really like how it was turning out, the original direction, and I needed something to make it as far away from that as possible. I think it worked."
E: How did you come up with the name "Yip Deceiver"?
DP: "Well, it's not a good story (somewhat embarrassed laughter). Generally nowadays, we say it doesn't really mean anything. But it was a failed anagram for my name, actually. One of one my friends and I were in a bar, coming up with anagrams for our names and left out an 'a' and put in an extra 'i', and at the same time we needed a band name, and that sorta stuck. There was talk of changing it forever. In truly lazy musician sort of form, it was at the very bottom of the list of things I had to do, so it stuck forever. It's funny because after people figure out what the hell I'm saying, they repeat it back to me two or three different wrong times, but then they get it and never forget it. In one way, it's hard to get people to understand what it is, but then after they think about it'll be there, probably forever, you know."
E: You have a one short instrumental song on the album, Theme, with a very layered, dramatic sound. What's the story behind that?
DP: "It was originally a whole song with lyrics but I didn't really enjoy how it was turning out, but I really liked the synth patch. That main polyphonic synth patch that's on there I built, and couldn't save it and for some reason could never get back to it. But I really wanted to do something with it, which is why it became just a little snippet in the middle of the record. Originally, I did another version of it with a totally different feel that was kind of more like New Jack Swing that was called Dobby's Theme which is why it is called Theme, (laughing again) but it got nixed at the last second. It was going to open the record but it would have been really weird. Kinda glad it didn't make it on there.
E: Do you tour with other band members?
DP: No, were touring as a two-piece. We keep it as easy and fun as possible. Yeah, every person you add takes about a week off of your life for each tour. We try to keep it as low on numbers as possible as a band. It's just the two of us always. We've toyed with the idea of adding a drummer but it's probably not going to happen anytime soon.
E: You're quoted as saying about Yip Deceiver, "It's music for a weird night of random adventure.", and who doesn't like weird nights of random adventure?
DP: Yeah, who doesn't like random adventure? Hopefully that will speak to somebody.
E: What can fans expect when they come to see you?
It's going to be fun. We don't like to get up there and just play songs. It's kinda high energy and we like to get people involved in it. Not in the way where it gets freaky (laughing) or over the top, but if you're not dancing, you might as well sit.
E: And for the uninitiated, what do you want them to know?
DP: Hey, we just want them to listen to it (laughing), and let them figure it out on their own. People are smart.

Candice Falzon strips down to see-through knickers for Maxim magazine cover and her boyfriend David Warner couldn't be happier
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- December 19, 2013
CANDICE Falzon is celebrating re-entering the spotlight by stripping off for a men's magazine.
The former Ironwoman and cricket WAG has gone topless, sporting only sheer underwear on the cover of the January issue of Maxim Australia, which is on stands today.
"So excited about being on the cover of the January edition of @maxim - aus," Falzon posted on her Instagram site.
Falzon's boyfriend, cricketer David Warner is equally proud of his "girl", posting a covershot of the magazine on his social media sites alongside the words, "Check out my girl on the cover of Maxim Magazine".
Warner and Falzon hooked up in August and the beach babe has been credited with having a positive impact on her beau's cricketing game ever since.
Warner said his new-found love had "tamed the bull" and that his partying days were behind him now.
In the magazine, Falzon quashed rumours the pair was engaged.
Candice Falzon elated with her new swimwear designs
"No, 100 per cent, it's not true, " Falzon said.
"I definitely haven't got a rock."
She did, however, confirm things were going well for the pair.
"We are very happy together but (a wedding proposal) is up to (Warner)," she added.

Sure. Jesus is guaranteed to give Gordon something better than 25 DVDs (likely) on a format he can't play in the UK.

It will also describe the most recent advancements in hearing aids and realistic expectations for benefit. It will only take a few minutes to complete the seminar and you will find the time was well spent!
The Better Hearing Institute (BHI) is a not-for-profit corporation that educates the public about the neglected problem of hearing loss and what can be done about it. The (BHI) was founded in 1973 with the goals of:
- Erasing the stigma and ending the embarrassment that prevents millions of people from seeking help for hearing loss.
- Showing the negative consequences of untreated hearing loss for millions of Americans.
- Promoting treatment and demonstrating that hearing loss is a national problem that can be solved.
Call our office and we will send you a FREE copy of "The Guide to Better Hearing" from the Better Hearing Institute.

Dexter Gordon & Wardell Gray: The Chase
The Chase
Dexter Gordon & Wardell Gray
Dexter Gordon: The Complete Dial Sessions (Stash B000006N18)
Dexter Gordon (tenor sax), Wardell Gray (tenor sax), Jimmy Bunn (piano), Red Callender (bass),
Chuck Thompson (drums).
Recorded: Hollywood, CA, June 12, 1947
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
Bebop was an East Coast innovation, but much of the early bop tenor sax idiom was developed on the West Coast – shaped by the contributions of Teddy Edwards, Harold Land, Dexter Gordon, Wardell Gray and others. "The Chase" offers the best possible introduction to the state of the tenor in the postwar period. This heated battle between Gordon and Gray evokes the late-night jam sessions of Central Avenue. Who wins? The listeners, of course, who are treated to one of the classic jazz match-ups of the era.

Surprised you ranked it so highly.Its good fun and some excelleent material but in the end nothing profound at all. The drummer is pretty awful and one gets the feeling that it could have been even more powerful with if Chuck Thompson had been smoother and not so choppy. Have heard this so many times and its still enjoyable and excellent teor material. Wardell Gray wins but then I think is great. What a waste when he died.

Dugongs inhabit coastal marine zones in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Unlike manatees, they never venture into fresh water. More to come...
Elandra, our Dugong Ambassador (scientific name Dugong dugon), is named after an Aboriginal word meaning "Lives by the Sea". She represents the only living species of dugong, which is widely distributed in both the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Although most of the research has been done in Australia, dugongs are found from the southeast coast of Africa and west coast of Madagascar, north to the Arabian peninsula, east to India, Thailand, Indonesia, Papua-New Guinea, the Philippines and as far north as Japan. Dugongs are quite different from manatees and are actually more closely related to the extinct Steller's sea cow than to any living species of manatee. They are never found in fresh water, but spend all their time in salt water where they feed on sea grasses. Dugongs are easy to distinguish from manatees by their "whale-like" flukes in place of the typical "paddle-like" manatee tail. Dugongs also have tusks, which are absent in all the manatee species. They may live to be greater than 70 years old in the wild, but are threatened by habitat degradation and other environmental impacts.Photo (c) Doug Perrine/Innerspace Visions; Elandra, SI's Dugong Ambassador (c) Sirenian International, Inc.

I never understood when people would say that they were too busy to eat breakfast. I have never been a meal skipper, no matter how busy. However I have now reached the stage of life where I am a meal forget-er, especially where breakfast is concerned. I plan to eat breakfast all morning and then suddenly I'm out the door with an empty stomach and my travel mug full of coffee inside on the windowsill where I forgot it. Again.
I recently had the chance to share Kate Farms' Komplete Meal Replacement Shakes with my family, which might be the answer to my breakfast forgetfulness.
Kate Farms' founders, Michelle and Richard Laver, are the parents of four children, including their daughter, Kate, who was born with cerebral palsy. Her parents wanted to give her a healthier, dairy-free option to the meal replacement shakes recommended by her doctor. On their website they write, "We developed our own meal replacement shake in the Laver kitchen one night with the help of a dear friend. We left out the sugar and dairy products and replaced them with all-natural vegan ingredients, creating the world's first dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free ready to drink meal replacement shake!….As a result, Kate Farms was born."
I am not usually a meal substitute drinker, but I enjoyed all three flavors of Kate Farms' dairy-free Komplete Meal Replacement Shakes: Cocoa Fudge, Vanilla Bliss, and Jav'a Latte. The Cocoa Fudge was rich and chocolatey. The Vanilla Bliss was my favorite—not too perfumey. And the Jav'a Latte was a perfect morning pick-me-up. Some in my family found the texture to be a bit "gritty" (most likely from the rice protein powder), but I didn't mind the texture.
I have tried dairy-based meal replacement shakes in the past and found them to be too thick and sometimes indigestion-causing. The Komplete Meal Replacement Shakes are filling without being too heavy. They also were an enjoyable, quick breakfast to enjoy on the go. I think the Komplete Meal Replacement Shakes would be handy for travel, too, when allergic kids can't always get all the nutrients they need.
In terms of nutrition, the shakes contain 21 "superfoods" (from green tea to camu camu!), 24 vegetables, 5 grams of fiber, 8 grams of plant-based fat, and 17 grams of protein (from rice protein, pea protein, chia seeds and quinoa flour). They are also fortified, and contain a hefty dose of calcium, vitamin D, B vitamins, magnesium, and much more.
