A Memorable Trip to Spain
Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 09/07/2012
Oregon defeated a professional team from Madrid, Estudiantes, in back-to-back games to open the trip (Game 1 - W, 94-67; Game 2 - W, 84-61).
From there, the Ducks played a pair of games as part of the Torneig de Basquet Unnim tournament played at the Pavello Esportiu Municipal located approximately an hour north of Barcelona. UO recorded a 103-62 win over Uni Girona and a 70-52 win over Santa Rosa de Lima.
Sophomore Lexi Petersen averaged a team-high 17.5 points per contest on the trip, one of four Ducks to average double-figures in scoring. Freshman Jillian Alleyne (14.5 ppg, 10.8 rpg) and sophomore Megan Carpenter (13.8 ppg, 10.3 rpg) each averaged double-doubles for UO. Sophomore Amanda Delgado averaged 15.0 points per outing.
Head coach Paul Westhead drew the attention of several Spanish reporters while on the trip. Here is a link to an article done by Gerard Solé Serra of SoloBasket.com. And a link to another article recapping UO's games against Estudiantes of Madrid.
Madrid (Aug. 24-27)
After a long, overnight flight from Atlanta to Madrid (where the team landed at approximately 9 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 24), the Ducks hit the ground running and immediately paid a visit to Plaza de Sol (Spanish for "Gate of the Sun") which is one of the best known and busiest places in Madrid. Then the team went to Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas – a stadium for Spanish bull-fighting. Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas is to bull-fighting what Madison Square Garden is to basketball.
The team made the first of what would be several trips to Madrid's Plaza de Mayor -- a central plaza in the city. And then there was an afternoon walk through Retiro Park, one of the largest parks in the city.
Oregon visited Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid's soccer stadium, the home of international superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. The second day of sightseeing took the Ducks to Plaza de España, Templo de Debod and the Royal Palace of Madrid.
The team visited two world class art museums -- Museo del Reina Sofia and Museo del Prado. The Reina Sofia is Spain's national museum of 20th century art and it features collections of Spain's two greatest 20th century masters, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. Museo del Prado is the main Spanish national art museum. It features one of the world's finest collections of European art and unquestionably the best single collection of Spanish art.
And after a receiving an excellent tip from some Madrid natives – former UO tennis players Jose "Pepe" Izquierdo and Marcos Verdasco– the Ducks went to Café de Chinitas for dinner and flamenco dancing on the final night in Madrid.
Video recap of Madrid:
Valencia (Aug. 28-29)
With only two days in Valencia, the Ducks made the most of their time in that coastal Spanish city. After a four hour bus drive from Madrid to Valencia, the team had an afternoon practice at Pabellón Fuente San Luis which is the arena for Valencia's Basket Club. The next day the team did a tour of the city center, checked out the modern architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences and made a trip to the beach just north of the city for some relaxing time on the Mediterranean.
Other members of the travel party made the 40-minute train ride to Buñol, Spain for the annual La Tomatina Festival in which participants throw tomatoes in what is known as one of the world's biggest food fights. It is held on the last Wednesday of August -- purely a coincidence that La Tomatina and the UO trip to Valencia would take place during that time frame.
Video recap of Valencia and Barcelona:
Barcelona (Aug. 30-Sept. 2)
The team visited the world famous Park Güell -- designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. Also included was a comprehensive bus tour through the city to see some of Gaudi's other works -- Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. Then the program took in the beautiful view that Parc de Montjuic had to offer. The team also made a stop at Olympic Stadium and Palau St. Jordi arena where the 1992 Dream Team played at the Barcelona Summer Olympics.
There was a morning walking tour of the Gothic Quarter – the center of the old city of Barcelona. Many of the buildings date from Medieval times, some from as far back as the Roman settlement of Barcelona. And what is a trip to Barcelona without a swing down La Rambla -- a street in the central part of the city popular with both tourists and locals alike.
One of the marquee attractions of Barcelona is Sagrada Família, a large Roman Catholic church designed by Gaudí. Construction of the church began in 1882 and continues today. Construction has progressed slowly as it relies on private donations. It is likely to be completed in the next 20 years.
And the icing on the cake was a trip to Camp Nou for a soccer match between FC Barcelona and Valencia. The team had the chance to see one of the world's greatest soccer players in action – Lionel Messi. Barca won the match, 1-0, after a goal by Adriano in the 22nd minute.

Doctors released Shayne Lamas out of the hospital, after she spent around 11 days recuperating from pregnancy complications, which resulted in a miscarriage, reports Us Weekly, on Feb. 20, 2014.
Shayne issued this statement to Us Weekly: "Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. I've cried reading the expression of generosity and warmth from everyone. I'm out of ICU at Mission Viejo Hospital. I cannot thank the medical staff here enough for not giving up on me." She continued to say, "To everyone out there, please donate blood. You can save a life like mine. In loving memory of my son, Rex Jagger Lamas-Richie."
On Feb. 19, 2014, Shayne's dad, Lorenzo Lamas tweeted, "@ShayneDahlLamas recovering nicely with @nikrichie in the comfort of their home. Thank you for all the positive energy and support. U rock!"
Shayne paid tribute to the son that she lost in her statement. "In loving memory of my son, Rex Jagger Lamas-Richie." Her husband Nik Richie named their baby, Rex Jagger Lamas-Richie. He always wanted a son named Rex and he picked Jagger after the singer Mick Jagger.
On Feb. 9, 2014, Shayne collapsed in her Orange County home. They rushed her to the hospital where doctors performed emergency surgery because she started to bleed in her uterus. Shayne was in her 16th week of pregnancy. Even though the doctors tried, they could not save her baby.
Shayne was placed on a ventilator system until she was able to breathe on her own. Then, on Valentine's Day, Shayne's heart stopped. The doctors worked to get her heart beating again.
Take care Shayne.

Respiratory Disease will afflict every human being at some time in their life. Whether it's a cough associated with the common cold or respiratory distress associated with allergies and asthma, respiratory challenges are a constant source of irritation and misery for the afflicted.
Classical Ayurvedic Medicine categorizes respiratory challenges into two main categories. These are Kasa (cough) and Swasa ( dyspnea or difficulty breathing). From an understanding of ayurvedic knowledge, common conditions such as the common cold, asthma and bronchitis can be understood and managed. This article address the condition of kasa (cough).
Kasa (Cough)
In the West, coughs are understood to be the result of either infection or irritation of the bronchial tissue and are known as bronchitis. Infectious bronchitis commonly accompanies the common cold but may occur separately and may or may not be associated with fever. Coughs may be dry or productive. Irritative bronchitis is usually the result of pollutants, smoke, or chemicals and may have an allergic component.
Samprapti (Pathology)
Kasa occurs when apana vayu is obstructed resulting in an increase in upward motion. Vitiation of udana vayu propels the air upward and out of the body. Vata may however lodge in the chest, back, or head resulting in pain and repeated coughing.
All disease has its physicial origins in the digestive system. This is the site of accumulation and aggrevation of the doshas. Kasa begins with vitiation of apana vayu in the purishavaha srota (large intestine). Vata eventually overflows into circulation (raktavaha srota) and relocates to the pranavaha srota (respiratory system.) Additional doshas may mix with vata or become dominant in the pathology.
Coughs are often preceeded by symptoms of the common cold such as a sore throat, and a decrease in appetite. Proper early management of the prodromal symptoms can prevent the onset of bronchitis.
Kasa (cough) is of five types; vata, pitta, kapha, ksataja and ksaya. Those of a vata, pitta and kapha nature represent different doshic manifestations of a cough. Ksataja type are due to chest injuries while ksaya type is due to disease that results in wasting of the bodily tissues such as tuberculosis.
Coughs due to vitiation of vata are called "vataja kasa". They present as a dry cough with little mucous production. While small amounts of hard mucous may occasionally accompany a cough, the condition is for the most part dry. Examination of the mucous reveals it to be gray in color and ununctuous (not very sticky). The cough may be accompanied by a loss of voice and severe chest pain. The frequency of the cough is episodic and may occur in fits.
Coughs due to pitta vitiation are called "pittaja kasa". They present with a greater amount of mucous. Examination of the mucous reveals a yellow color and possible blood within the mucous giving it a "rusty" appearance. This latter appearance indicates that the infection has penetrated deeper in the respiratory system as is seen in pneumonia. Pittaja kasa is accompanied by fever. The cough is more continuous than that of vata type.
Coughs due to kapha vitiation are called "kaphaja kasa." They present with the greatest amount of mucous. Examination of the mucous reveals a cloudy, white color and the mucous is thick and sticky. The condition is often accompanied by a runny nose, nausea, and vomiting. Actual pain in the chest and head is mild. Kaphaja kasa is not associated with fever. Coughing is continuous. Comparative Rupa (symptomatology) of Vataja, Pittaja and Kaphaja Kasa
|Minimal mucous, hard mucous, grey in color
|Moderate mucous, sticky, yellow in color
|Large amounts of mucous, sticky, cloudy and white in color
Coughs due to trauma, called "ksataja kasa" reveal a combination of symptoms related to vata and pitta types. Sputum may be red, yellow or black indicating infection and bleeding. While the mucous is abundant, it is ununctuous. Fever is probable and there may be joint pains as well. Due to trauma, blood may simulatanously appear in the urine. Coughs due to trauma are described as resembling the cooing of a pigeon.
Coughs due to ksaya occur with wasting disease such as tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is called "rajayaksmadi" literally the "kind of diseases" in the Ayurvedic literature. The condition results in a drying up and loss of tissue (ksaya). While vata dosha plays the most important role in this condition, the condition is sannipattika in nature (due to the vitiation of all three doshas).
The management of kasa (cough) requires an understanding of the state of the patients agni, ama, and ojas as well as an appreciation of the doshic pathology present. In addition to treatment at the site of relocation in the pranavaha srota (respiratory system), treatment should also be directed toward the mahavaha srota (digestive system) as this is the physical root of the condition and the raktavaha srota (circulatory system) as the pathway of overflow.
Management of Vataja Kasa
The management of vataja kasa, at the site of relocation focuses on the application of oils and heat to the pranavaha srota (respiratory system). Sesame oil massaged into the chest followed by fomentation is recommended. Fomentation may be performed simply using hot water bottles, a heating pad or locally applied steam as in nadi svedana. Popular cough relieving herbs from India include kantakari (solanum xanthocarpum; VK-P+) and vamsa rochana (bamboo manna; VP-K+) . These are commonly used and may be prepared as ghrita (medicated ghee). Popular herbs used in the West include licorice (glycyrrhiza glabra; VP-K+) and wild cherry bark (prunis virginiana, prunia serotina; VP-K+).
Care of the digestive system requires dietary modification and the use of anuvasana basti (oil enema) or niruha basti (decoction enema). The diet, though nourishing should be taken in small quantities at first until the agni becomes strong. Nourishing soups are most beneficial. Patients should receive plenty of rest.
For both vataja and pittaja kasa, the classical formulation, Sitopaladi churna is commonly used. It may also be prepared in warm water or with honey. Sitopaladi churna is a combination of many herbs and spices with vamsa rochana as the chief herb in the formulation.
Management of Pittaja Kasa
The management of pittaja kasa, at the site of relocation focuses on herbal therapies. Oil and heat are not recommended. Medicated ghrita (ghee) may be prepared with cough relieving, expectorant herbs such as vamsa rochana (bamboo manna; VP-K+) and vasa (adhatoda vasica; PK- V+). Western herbal alternatives include licorice (VP-K+), mullein (verbascum thapus; PK-V+) and wild cherry bark (prunis virginiana, prunia serotina; VP-K+). The classical Indian formulation, sitopaladi churna may also be used.
Virechana performed early in the condition is most beneficial to allieviate pitta at its root. The diet should emphasize a greater amount of the bitter taste as the bitter taste is cooling and purifies the rasa and rakta dhatu helping to destroy the infection. The diet should be light and and consist of easy to digest foods until improvement is noted. Stronger antimicrobial bitter herbs may be given to accompany the cooling, cough reducing herbs. These include kutki (Gentiana kuroo; PK- V+) and neem (Azadirachta indica; PK-V+) as well as well as Western alternatives such as goldenseal (Hydrastis Canadensis; PK-V+) and echinecea (Echinecea augustifolia, echinecea purpura; PK-V+). Patients should receive plenty of rest.
Management of Kaphaja Kasa
In the management of kaphaja kasa, treatment focuses on strong purification and may include vamana, virechana and niruha basti. Nasya is also recommended to purify the nasal passages and sinuses. An important herb from India is kantakari (solanum xanthocarpum; VK-P+). Kantakari alleviates cough and is a bronchodilator. Kantakari is one of the herbs in the famous ten roots formulation, dashmoola. Along with kantakari, additional herbs may be added to formulations such as vidanaga (embelia ribes; KV-P+) and chitrak (plumbago zeylancia; K-VP+). Dry, expectorant herbs may also be added to formulation or prepared for inhalation. Clove (caryophyllus aromatica) and bayberry (myrica nagi, myrica sapida, myrica cerifera) are commonly prepared in cigarette form or simply burned and inhaled. Western herbs that are beneficial include elecampane (inula helinum), eucalyptus (eucalyptus globulis) and black pepper (piper nigrum).
The diet of patients with kaphaja kasa should be very light and patients may fast for several days according to their strength. The diet emphasizes the pungent taste to support drying the lung tissues. Patients who are not experiencing great fatigue should remain active but should not overly exert themselves.
Comparative Chikitsa (treatment) of Vataja, Pittaja and Kaphaja Kasa
Vataja Kasa: Palliation therapies plus warm or moist expectorant herbs: Kantakari, vasa, licorice and wild cherry bark
Pittaja Kasa: Moderate purification plus cool expectorant herbs: Vamsa rochana, licorice, mullein. Antimicribial Herbs: Kutki, neem, echinecea, goldenseal.
Kaphaja Kasa: Strong purification plus dry or hot, expectorant herbs: bayberry, kantakari, clove, black pepper, elecampane and eucalyptus.
Managing coughs due to trauma requires referral to a medical specialist as the lung may be punctured. Until medical care can be administered, patients should take hemostatic herbs such as the Indian herbs manjishta and praval pisthi or the Western herb comfrey. Patients should also stay well hydrated.
Coughs associated with wasting disease are difficult to treat and careful management is required. Weak patients usually require tonification to combat weight loss and increase strength. Medicated ghees with demulcent herbs such as bala rejuvenate the body and support repair of respiratory tissues. The dosage of the herbs is dependent upon the state of the patient's agni. Anuvasana basti should also be administered to improve strength and can be prepared with nourishing herbs such as bala and ashwaganda in a sesame oil base. The diet should be nourishing. Meat and bone soups may be required to prevent continued weight loss. Vegetarian patients may object, however they are strongly recommended if the patients life is in danger. The quantity of food taken should be proportional to the bodies ability to digest it. Hence, dipanas to strengthen agni are required.
Sadhyasadhyata (Prognosis)
Doshic disturbances resulting in kasa are relatively easy to treat with vataja considered the easiest and kaphaja the most difficult. Those of mixed dosha pathology such as ksataja type are more difficult. Ksaya kasa is the most difficult of all. Ayurvedic texts state that kasa of any kind, if not treated properly can progress to ksaya type.

Mina Hubbard's 1905 odyssey through unforgiving
northern terrain was a testament to a lost love,
and it put the uncharted heart of Labrador on the map
The small steamer tossed and pitched wildly as
it plowed across Labrador's Lake Melville.
On board, a soft-spoken nurse from Ontario
named Mina Hubbard sat alone in her cramped berth
awaiting the start of her greatest journey. She had left
Halifax on June 16, 1905, and was now on her final
approach to the North West River Post.
Landing on June 25, Mina was greeted with a
wilderness feast of wild goose, plum pudding and hot
coffee. "After the voyage from Halifax," she wrote in
her memoir A Woman's Way Through Unknown
Labrador, "it seemed good to rest a little with the
firm earth underfoot and where the walls of one's
habitation were still." The few-day stopover offered
little rest, however, as Mina assembled a crew of four
guides and hundreds of pounds of food, supplies and
gear, including two canvas-covered canoes. She was
heading into the unexplored Labrador interior — the
same wilderness that had claimed the life of her
husband Leonidas two years earlier.
Rare was the woman explorer in 1905. But the
35-year-old Mina had a will of iron and had resolved
to complete her beloved "Laddie's" groundbreaking
expedition to chart unknown territory across the peninsula from the North West River to Ungava
Bay. Personal loss compounded by public
criticism of her husband's credentials inspired
the mission. Mina's mistrust of Leonidas's
former adventure partner, Dillon Wallace, who
had vowed to complete the expedition that
same summer, added a fiercely competitive
edge to her undertaking. Intent on preserving
Leonidas's reputation, she recruited George
Elson, the native guide from the 1903 trip, to
lead her some 885 kilometres across Labrador.
The race was on.
Mina had just more than two months
to complete the trip. Her only chance
to return to civilization before winter
was to catch the Hudson's Bay Company steamer
Pelican at Ungava no later than the last week of
August. She hoped to gain an advantage by
setting out three weeks earlier than her husband
had and by travelling with a larger crew.
Elson was well acquainted with the errors of the
ill-fated expedition in 1903. Flawed local information
and maps had steered Leonidas off
course into a labyrinth of inland lakes. By the
time he and his crew realized the error, they
had been pushing upriver for two months and
were unable to retrace their path to the North
West River Post before Leonidas died of starvation
and exposure.
The most demanding part of the journey was
the upstream push to Lake Michikamau. Dozens
of rapids had to be poled through or portaged
around. Some days, the crew covered less than
three kilometres. The canoes capsized on at least one occasion, leaving
the crew without essential
gear, including cooking
pans and axes.
With her revolver
or rifle in tow, Mina
frequently explored the
surrounding riverbanks
alone studying flowers
and taking photographs,
much to the consternation
of her guides.
She was inspired by the wilderness
and felt equal to the challenges it
presented. "Secretly I rather hoped a
bear would come along," she wrote in
her journal after one foray, "for I thought
I could manage him if he did not take
me unawares."
The George River descent from Lake
Michikamau was fast and with its share of
hair-raising moments. Nearly the entire river
north of Indian House Lake was an
interminable chain
of ferocious rapids.
"Immediately at the
outlet, the canoes were
caught by the swift
current, and for five days,
we were carried down
through almost
continuous rapids," she
wrote. "There were long
stretches of miles where
the slope of the riverbed
was a steep gradient, and I held my breath
as the canoe shot down at toboggan pace."
Despite the odds, the hardships and Mina's
own lack of wilderness experience, her
expedition reached the George River Post
at Ungava Bay one-and-one-half months
ahead of Wallace and on schedule for her
boat home. The achievement helped put
Labrador on the map and finally allowed
the memory of Mina's husband Leonidas to
rest in peace.
Great Expectations
Mina Hubbard's expedition
is more an inspiration than
a blueprint for exploring
Newfoundland and Labrador.
With its sprawling landscapes,
unspoiled natural riches and
sparse population, the entire
province remains an ideal
destination for adventurers
who want to experience the
spirit of early 20th-century
Canadian adventure.
Torngat Mountains
The austere beauty of Labrador
offers a trip you will never
forget. The Torngat Mountains
are vast and breathtakingly
beautiful. This region is home to
the highest snow-capped peaks
in eastern Canada, majestically
towering above the fiords, and
encompasses much of the range
of Canada's eastern caribou
herds. Wolves, foxes and black
bears inhabit the interior, while
polar bears prowl the coastline.
Extremely remote, the
Torngat region offers an
unspoiled destination for the
handful of visitors, mostly
guided, who see it each
summer. For information on
guided backpacking trips,
Nature Trek Canada or
Canada North Outfitting.
Both companies
provide a variety of trekking
packages, including day
excursions from base camp and
ambitious multi-day traverses.
Labrador Coast
If you want to visit Labrador without
the wilderness hardship, consider a
cruise up the Labrador coast. Arctic
Odysseys offers a 13-day cruise aboard
the Wanderbird, exploring fiords
whose walls soar 1,500 metres out
of the water. You'll scan the ocean
for whales, seals and icebergs and
see polar bears lounging along
the coast. You'll also have the
opportunity to explore the coastline
in a sea kayak.
For more information on
additional cruise operators, visit
Lewis Hills
Located in the southwestern part of
Newfoundland, the Lewis Hills are
the highest mountains on the island
and are far less explored than the
Long Range Mountains of Gros
Morne National Park. The Lewis Hills
have a similar feel to Labrador —
rugged mountains, sparkling
streams and abundant wildlife —
without the complex logistics of
visiting a remote region. That said,
this is a trip for experienced or
guided hikers, as the only access is
by foot. There are no marked trails,
and hikers must be completely self-sufficient.
Cormack Expeditions does sell
a map that details a suggested
55-kilometre traverse of the region,
and NewFound Outfitting offers guided trips.

Yep, them "squigly lines" are what fooled me, as you see those in Hybrids. Nice catch though, and yep, BBQ Filet for me. Biggest one I ever caught was a 33# at Millerton Lake, in Madera County, back in '62. I even caught a female that weighed 14# at Morro Bay, next to the hot water outlet from the PG&E plant.

I have to ad dimensions to an architectural drawing in model space
The file is drawn in decimal units (1unit=1meter)
Now I have been asked to ad dimensions in feet and inches to the drawing in order to make it usable to UK
I know that the solution is to use alternate units with Architectural units format, but how mach is the multiplier that I have to use?
I have no experience in British metric system.
So I left the multiplier 25.4 as AutoCAD prompt.
Can anyone please inform me if is correct?
2.81 meters equals to 5'-11 1/4" ?
Thank you in advance
Ps. I'm using AutoCAD 2007
2.81 x 25.4 = 71.374"
71.374" / 12 = 5.94783'
.94783 x 12 = 11.37396"
It looks like the dimension should be 5'-11 3/8"
Check your dimstyle precision setting
Thank you for your help
I appreciate that
2.81 m x 39,37 " per m = 110.6299 "
110.6299 / 12 = 9.2192 ft.
.2192 x 12 = 2.63
9 ft. 2 5/8 "
As per the ber
1 meter=3.28084 feet
Oops, you're right. That's what I get for answering questions first thing in the morning. Disregard my previous post.
Follow this link: http://joshmadison.com/software/convert/ and download the Convert program. It will convert any unit of measure to any other unit of measure. It's very handy. Should have used it this morning. Sheesh! Sorry about that.
The Quickcalc command in Acad 2006+ will convert also.
or you could use the inbuilt AutoCAD calculator with the conversion function built in (I think )

So I just enter the multiplier value equal to 39,37 and automatically the annotations have both decimal and architectural system.

They had this artist rendering of the new ballpark to be built at the old Orange Bowl site.
Now, I'm certain this will be a *very* expensive proposition. In a severe recession, why is there any plan to spend billions to build a ball park for millionares?
And while I'm at it, one of the promised amenities was a youth field, that I think was supposed to be suitable for both soccer and baseball. Do you see that in the rendering? And just where would that go on this property?
And what are those buildings all around the site? More shops, restaurants, and office buildings.
Yeah, that's what we need. More places to not spend our money.
How about if they just stay at Dolphins Stadium for now. I, for one, would be okay if they replaced the grass with field turf (the artificial rubbery stuff) because it would allow them to easily move between baseball and football configurations and have the field remain in good condition (ie, no dirt infield for football) for all the teams that play there.

Review: Cream Soda
Posted: Mar 30, 1998 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: May 31, 2001 at 6:09 PM)Kist Cream soda is a sweet and creamy beverage. A bit too sweet, as a matter of fact. The flavor needs to have a more natural tasting cream and vanilla flavor. It is seriously lacking in both of these areas. The blue color and the plastic bottle just doesn't do a lot for us either. This beverage lacks personality in both appearance and flavor. Definitely not a high quality product.

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun. Prefers loose loams. Tolerates some drought. Intolerant of wet, poorly-drained soils. Roots are winter hardy to USDA Zone 5, but top growth is only reliably hardy to USDA Zone 7. Consequently, plants are generally grown as shrubby, soft-wooded perennials north of USDA Zone 7 by pruning stems back hard each year in early spring. Regardless of pruning intentions, stems will often die to the ground in the cold winters of Zones 5 and 6, with roots surviving to push up new stems in spring. Even in warm winter climates where the stems usually survive winter, gardeners frequently still prune the plants back hard in early spring to promote vigorous new stem growth. Flowering is unaffected by spring pruning because plants bloom on new growth.
Bluebeard (also commonly called blue spirea or blue mist) is a low-mounded, deciduous shrub that is valued for its aromatic foliage and late summer flowers which are said to resemble clouds of blue smoke or mist. Clandonensis hybrids typically produce about 18-30" of growth per year, so total shrub height (usually from 2-3') depends in large part upon the extent of winter dieback and/or the annual spring pruning. 'Longwood blue' is a taller cultivar which may reach a height of 4'. It features a profuse, shrub-covering bloom of fragrant, violet-blue flowers in terminal and axillary clusters (cymes) from late summer into fall. Ovate to lance-shaped, silvery-gray leaves (to 1.5" long). Foliage is aromatic when brushed with a hand. Flowers are very attractive to butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects. A selection from Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania.
No serious insect or disease problems. Crowns may rot in wet, poorly-drained soils.
Perennial borders. Shrub borders. Very effective in large groups or massed. Also effective as a low hedge. Valued for its late summer to fall flowers when few other shrubs are in bloom.

Bowling News USA - November 9, 2012 PBA League Draft Unveiled at South Point...
Storm staffer Rhino Page of Dade City, Fla., the Professional Bowlers Association's 2008-09 Rookie of Year, was the top selection in the inaugural PBA League Draft held Friday at South Point Bowling Center. The historic PBA League, consisting of eight five-player teams of PBA stars, will make its debut Jan. 19-27 at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, Mich.
Page, a three-time PBA Tour titlist and a finalist in the 2012 PBA World Championship, was selected by PBA Hall of Famer and fellow staffer Norm Duke, one of the eight Franchise Players who will head the PBAL teams. The Franchise Players were the top players in competition points during the 2011-12 PBA Tour season. Duke won the first pick in a PBA Draft Lottery held earlier during the GEICO PBA World Series of Bowling.
"I'm really happy," Duke said. "I had been studying the list even before I got to Las Vegas, and I got everyone I wanted. You have to realize after I picked Rhino, I wasn't going to have access to some of the other high-profile guys, but I got five bulldogs and I'm elated."
The draft was conducted in a serpentine fashion, whereby once the eight players selected their first picks, the draft order was reversed for each subsequent round. For example, Finland's Osku Palermaa, who picked eighth in the first round, then picked first in the second round. Each team consists of five players plus a supplemental pick who will only enter the competition if a roster player is unable to perform.
PBA Hall of Famer Pete Weber of St. Ann., Mo., drafted second, and his first pick was 13-time PBA Tour titlist Tommy Jones of Simpsonville, S.C.
"My first pick wasn't going to be anyone else," Weber said, "and after that, Tommy and I together talked over the guys we wanted to pick. Our sleeper is (former Wichita State University star John) Szczerbinski (of North Tonawanda, N.Y.), but he'll be all right. I'm just looking forward to seeing my team on TV."
Bill O'Neill of Langhorne, Pa., picked third.
"I'm very happy," O'Neill said. "There were a few guys I had high on my list who I didn't think would be there, but there they were."
Australia's Jason Belmonte was No. 4 in the draft order.
"I have a really well-balanced team. Everyone has TV experience, everyone has big-time tournament experience," he said. "Walking into (Thunderbowl), I know everyone is going to be prepared. I'm really happy with my third pick, Parker Bohn III. He's a proven champion. He's going to give 110 percent, and I know he has something to prove."
Mike Fagan of Dallas followed Belmonte.
"I feel really good about our team. We don't have any weak links," Fagan said. "I wasn't too concerned about having one superstar; I was looking more at the composite of our group."
Reigning PBA Player of the Year Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill., also was pleased.
"I got one of the best lefties on tour (Ryan Ciminelli of Cheektowaga, N.Y.) Ryan Shafer is a proven champion. I got the greatest player of all-time (47-time PBA Tour champion Walter Ray Williams Jr. of Ocala, Fla.) I looked into who has bowled well currently and at Thunderbowl (in 2009) and team chemistry as well."
No. 7 Chris Barnes of Double Oak, Texas, said, "I feel great about my team. Everyone I drafted was in the top 25 in points last year. They all have the ability to play straight or hook the ball. With the exception of me, they're all young. They are all team players. I didn't think (first pick) Dom (Barrett of England) would get to me, and I certainly didn't think (fellow Englishman) Stu (Williams) would still be on the board. I have no complaints."
Palermaa, who has extensive international experience, picked Sweden's Martin Larsen and Canada's Dan MacLelland with his back-to-back picks. "The best guys were going to go first, but I've got a versatile team. That's what you have to go for."
The inaugural PBA League will introduce its unique professional bowling league concept, including celebrity owners, during the Detroit Winter Swing Jan. 19-27 at Thunderbowl in, concluding the week with five ESPN television shows including a live telecast of PBA League Round 1 on Sunday, Jan. 27. Subsequent shows will be taped to air on Feb. 10, Feb. 17, March 3 and March 24.
The team championship will be decided during the PBA League Elias Cup Finals, honoring PBA founder Eddie Elias, at Woodland Bowl in Indianapolis on Sunday, March 31 (airing Sunday, April 7 on ESPN).
During the first four days in Detroit, the PBA will conduct a series of open-field tournaments (the Carmen Salvino Classic, Mark Roth Classic, Don Carter Classic and Earl Anthony Players Championship). Those four events will award individual PBA Tour titles and the qualifying scores posted by each PBAL team member will be combined to produce the team qualifying scores for the ESPN telecasts. All PBAL matches on ESPN will be Baker Format matches where each team member will bowl two frames in each game.

Strength train three days a week to help lower your blood pressure. Since lifting causes a temporary increase in blood pressure, keep weight loads modest. Control your breathing throughout movement and stop if you feel dizzy or light-headed. Use resistance exercise machines such as bicep curls, ab exercisers, leg presses and chest presses to work the upper body, lower body and core. Start off with one to two sets of 10 to 12 reps for each machine.
Every Day Activity
Find activities you enjoy and aim for 30 minutes a day of "exercise" on most days of the week. Daily housework, gardening, washing windows, using the stairs, carrying your groceries, walking at the mall, or riding bikes with the kids all add up to exercise that benefits your heart. Tip: Increase activity by parking at the end of the lot, or get off the bus a stop early and walk to your destination.
Consult Your Doctor Before Getting Started
High-intensity bouts of exercise are not typically recommended for high blood pressure sufferers. Instead, you should work out at a moderate pace. To know you are working out at a safe level, you should have the ability to carry on a conversation comfortably.
Wear a heart rate monitoring device during exercise. Your target heart rate where you should remain while exercising is 50 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate; your maximum heart rate is approximately 220 minus your age. Since blood pressure medications can lower your target heart rate, consult your doctor about making any adjustments during exercise.

Benetton Campaign Uses Digital Manipulation to Stir Controversy (Again)
File this under Marketers Who Will Do Anything to Sell Product: Benetton has unveiled a new ad campaign that includes an image of Barack Obama in a lip lock with Chinese leader Hu Jintao, another image of Obama kissing Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, and several other images of different world leaders kissing each other on the lips.
The images are part of the clothing brand's new "Unhate" campaign, which it unveiled today in Paris and other cities.
Alessandro Benetton, who is the company's executive deputy chairman, says Benetton means no disrespect to the world leaders, whose passionate kisses are obviously the handiwork of digital retouchers.
"We consider [the leaders] 'conception figures' making a statement of brotherhood with a kiss," he said in an interview, according to the Times of India.
Yeah, yeah. Whatever.
Back in the 90s, Benetton created ad campaigns with controversial images– including a photograph of a nun kissing a priest–to attract attention by whipping up social controversy.

Eight Days of Light
There are many different ways to celebrate the holiday season. Next Tuesday night, we will host our third annual Menorah lighting to celebrate the start of Hanukkah. The eight day festival of lights begins at sundown on December 20.
For readers who may not know, Hanukkah, which translates to "dedication" in Hebrew celebrates the recapture and redirection of the Temple in Jerusalem by Judas in 164 BC. Once the Temple had been reclaimed, a lamp was lit for its rededication. The lamp miraculously burned for eight nights despite only have enough oil for one. To commemorate this, a Menorah is lit during each night of Hanukkah.
Our Menorah stands approximately five feet tall in our hotel lobby. One each night of Hanukkah one candle is lit on the nine-brand candelabra. The ninth branch or shamash is the servant light, which is lit first and used to kindle the other lights on the Menorah. Candles on a Menorah must be the same height and in a straight row. The shamash should stand out from the other eight candles either being higher or lower than the others.
We invite you to help spread the holiday cheer and join us in our lobby at 4 pm on Tuesday Dec. 20. Assistant Rabbi Zukrow of Congregation Ner Tamid will lead the lighting and prayer. Hot chocolate and sugar cookies will be served after the ceremony.

Shed 1 at the Dallas Farmers Market was nearly deserted on Saturday, Jan. 4, with only a single booth offering citrus fruits and apples, trucked in from elsewhere. The absence of local growers was not all that surprising, given the recent cold snaps in North Texas and the expected return of below-freezing temperatures on Monday.
A local farm offered beef and other meats, and there was honey and roasted corn available on that side of the street. But all the produce was across the way.
The shoppers came in a steady stream on this sunny January day, parking under cover within steps of the stalls. Much of the produce was from Texas, but from beyond the 150-mile radius that designates "verified local." Produce dealers in Shed 3 are resellers, with goods from South Texas and refrigerated produce from as far away as Maine and Washington; sometimes they resell stocks purchased from local farmers. The displays are enticing; the colors and tastes of the produce appealing, the dealers friendly; and the atmosphere is that of a country fair. Samples are mouthwatering good.
Expected renovation of the market, which was transferred to private control last summer after being operated by the City of Dallas since 1941, has not yet begun. In fact, detailed plans for the rejuvenation of the market grounds are still not well known. What is known is that Shed 1, which has been the home for local farmers selling local produce, is to be expanded, but the exact timetable is uncertain. At the end of the summer, most of the venders were a little ambivalent, adopting a "wait and see" attitude. Two of the existing buildings are slated for demolition; the ground space is to be used for parking.
Development of condos and new dwellings in the area around the market is proceeding; units that were under construction only six months ago are now occupied. The face of the neighborhood is changing rapidly. Plans envisioned by the new alliance between the city and the private developer would establish the area at the bottom of Pearl Street, within the shadow of downtown's tall buildings, as the kind of tourist destination that distinguishes Seattle's Pike Place Market. The master plan includes a park-like area, retail shops and restaurants, a cooking school, parking and, of course, the open-air market.
The sale of the market itself had been proposed repeatedly in recent years, but it still came as a surprise to many, was fought by some, and finally welcomed by those who want to see the market saved and hope the area will become a landmark. The city retains the right, under the joint agreement, to take back operation of the local farmers market if the developer doesn't perform.
Even though many of the vendors at the Dallas location have a long history there, some have ventured into other markets opened in surrounding communities. The Dallas market is the only one in the area which has served the public seven days a week, 362 day each year. The market is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.

It's been a few years since we were first wowed by Bastion, the premiere title by SuperGiant Games, and have been eagerly awaiting the developer's second project ever since. Announced only a few months ago, Transistor aims to give PS4 and PC owners a dynamic mix of action and turn-based RPG gameplay, complete with gorgeous graphics and a rich new world for players to explore.
Transistor stars a young woman named Red, a renowned singer who is left silent after being attacked by a group known as the Camerata. Together with the Transistor, a sword-like device that houses the voice and consciousness of a man that she seems to know well, Red will have to track down the four members of the group before they destroy the city of Cloudbank with their mysterious Process. While the game throws players directly into the center of an on-going conflict, the game does a great job at conveying the characters and central themes without ever diverging into unnatural exposition.
The young man that accompanies Red in her journey speaks frequently about his personal feelings for her and their strange predicament, giving the player an even deeper understanding of Transistor's universe. As an added bonus for PS4 players, his voice can be set to the DualShock 4's speakers, and the controller's light bar changes in brightness and color to match his speech. It's small details like these that can really add a lot to the experience. Unfortunately, his tangents occasionally didn't mesh well with our desire to progress at a steady pace. We found ourselves accidentally cutting off dialogue when initiating our turn in battle, or when moving on quickly to another area.
The game itself is rather linear. The few instances that do allow the player to take an alternative route always lead to an extra computer terminal or other object to be examined. Players will spend their time making their way between battles, grabbing bits of plot and background information along the way. These may sound like negative points, but the game manages to flesh out the world of Cloudbank rather nicely, without the need to open its environment up completely. Keeping things linear also allows for a more focused experience that keeps the game's style and combat at its core. For those that do want to take time away from the main story, the game also features several practice challenges that can be accessed throughout the city.
Players have the ability to approach combat situations in a number of ways. Red is able to equip four of her skills at a given time, each of which is assigned to one of the controller's four face buttons. The player can either use these skills actively during hectic firefights, or opt to slow things down by taking a turn. This brings the battle to a halt, allowing players to more easily plan their next move. Red only has a limited amount of energy in which to move and attack during this mode, though players can easily undo actions to better optimize their turn. Once everything is planned out, Red will zip across the slow motion battlefield, easily dispatching even the fastest opponents before they can react. However, this leaves Red incredibly vulnerable, as she won't be able to attack again until her meter has recharged. Finding the perfect balance between active combat and turn-based gameplay is key while trying to adapt to some of the game's more difficult enemies.
While only four abilities can be assigned at one time, Transistor's combat is quite a bit deeper than that. Players can use their other abilities as passive upgrades that empower their attacks in a number of ways. These enhancements may include anything from increased fire power to a larger blast radius. We found ourselves continuing to experiment throughout the game as more powers became available with each passing level. Making yourself comfortable with a variety of attacks and strategies is important, as abilities will become temporarily unavailable once Red's health meter is depleted. This meant that we not only had to switch up our moveset, but our entire strategy from time to time.
Of course, most players won't have to worry too much about losing all of their best skills, as Transistor isn't an overly difficult game. That is, if players don't equip themselves with "limiters," which will actually hinder their progress with self-imposed challenges. It's a nice addition, and can drastically change the course of what could otherwise be a rather straight-forward battle. There's also a great sense of accomplishment that comes from completing battles with an assortment of limiters equipped.
If we had one complaint about Transistor, it would be that the campaign is rather short, clocking in at a little under six hours. We found ourselves wanting more after the game's final moments, leading us to immediately start the campaign over from the beginning. Doing so will grant players with their abilities and skill level from their previous run. The Process will compensate by throwing out stronger enemies from the get-go, completely changing how the player will have to approach every one of their past battles. Playing through for a second time is absolutely essential in order to experience the game's full potential. Transistor is a rare example of a game that still feels fresh and exciting during an immediate second playthrough.
In the end, SuperGiant Games has succeeded in bringing fans another beautifully crafted world to enjoy. From its sensational game design to its dreamy soundtrack, Transistor in every way lives up to the expectations set by the developer's previous effort. We look forward to seeing what they will come up with next.
+ Beautiful world full of rich colors and gorgeous backdrops
+ Streamlined gameplay without any filler or senseless detours
+ Rich combat system with plenty of customization
- Framerate takes a beating during larger battles
- Easy to miss dialogue due to constant progression
- The game's lovely experience is over far too quickly

Fire Chief Dave Allmon honors Robert Noblitt, the creator of Tilly the Miniature fire engine, for his exceptional design and generous contributions toward the engine.
Columbus Fire Chief Dave Allmon and Mayor Kristen Brown showed their appreciation for the City of Columbus firefighters at a dinner Friday, October 11, that celebrated the firefighters' hard work, dedication and significant accomplishments over the past year. Chief Allmon also recognized Robert Noblitt, the creator of Tilly the miniature fire engine, and made Mayor Brown an honorary firefighter.
This year marked the first time in recent memory that a Columbus Mayor and Fire Chief formally recognized the City's fire department and firefighters. Current Columbus firefighters were joined by retired members from the department at the dinner.
"Our firefighters have earned endless respect, admiration, community pride and appreciation," Mayor Brown said. "On behalf of the entire community, I thank our City firefighters for their outstanding and selfless service and commitment."
Chief Allmon noted the significant accomplishments of the fire department since Mayor Brown took office, including the purchase of ice-water rescue equipment, increased training for ice-water rescue emergencies and natural disasters, and the goal of staffing a paramedic at all six fire stations 24 hours each day, every day of the week, to ensure optimal victim survivability in life threatening emergencies.
Chief Allmon recognized Mr. Noblitt for his exceptional design and generous contributions toward the construction of Tilly the miniature fire engine in 2001, which has since become a community treasure for firefighters to teach fire safety and build relationships to young residents.
The Chief also named Mayor Brown an honorary firefighter for her commitment to helping firefighters improve service to the public through investments in training and equipment. Mayor Brown expressed her sincere appreciation for the honor based on the firefighters' hard work and the community's admiration for them.
Chief Allmon names Mayor Brown as an honorary firefighter.

In tribute to military families and all of the sacrifices that they have offered to the general populous helping us to remain free, Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC) is hosting a Wags for Warriors Weekend Event. The event will begin on Saturday, May 24th and run through Memorial Day, Monday, May 26th.
The first 50 approved military families will have their adoption fees covered by Animals for Armed Forces during this time frame. There will also be other perks and discounts offered to the wonderful men and women who are serving or have served our nation as well.
In addition to military family opportunities, HWAC would like to offer all FIREFIGHTERS a special thank you opportunity; 25% off their adoption fees and purchases that they make in the Center's stores. The offer is good throughout the entire weekend. This is Helen Woodward's way to thank the public service worker for keeping them and the orphaned animals safe over the past few years.
HWAC is so happy to be partnering with Animals for Armed Forces. They are a non-profit organization dedicated to uniting orphan pets with military heroes. The three special days of discounts, perks and available pets will help to fulfill both partners' mission.
Besides all of these special advantages, the Center's Orphaned Objects Resale Shop, Paws in the ranch Boutique and Club Pet will be offering exclusive discounts (15 to 20%) to military members throughout the weekend, too. Helen Woodward Animal Center would like to thank our canine soldiers too. An honorary "Forever" candle will be lit on I REMEMBER YOU.COM, in memory of the dedicated military dogs that lost their lives serving our country. The site, which provides a place to honor departed pets, as well as grief resources for those suffering the loss, will forever pay tribute to these fallen heroes.
Helen Woodward Animal Center was founded with a mission of "people helping animals and animals helping people." The unconditional love of a pet provides years of comfort, laughter, joy and devotion – crucial elements to assist military families whose loved ones have dedicated themselves to lives of danger and necessary bravery. The families, in turn, are lifesavers to orphan pets longing to find their forever homes. Proof of the symbiotic relationship between pets and the military can be seen in the Center's PET (Pet Encounter Therapy) program. PET regularly utilizes therapeutic animals to assist wounded soldiers by lowering blood pressure, evening breathing, improving memory and lifting spirits. The program has seen countless lives changed for the better… both for the pets and for the patriots they serve!
Animals for Armed Forces shares the Center's belief in the wonderful healing quality of animals and has a mission of saving the lives of orphan pets by finding them safe and loving homes with Heroes of the US Armed Forces. Each year, they team up with local animal shelters to provide Free Pet Adoption Days for current, former/retired and/or immediate family members of the: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and National Guard.
"We are so grateful to Animals for Armed Forces for sharing our belief that the pairing of orphan pets and military families is a win-win relationship," stated Helen Woodward Animal Services Manager Ed Farrelly. "The wonderful men and women who serve our country protect the lives of our citizens and by adopting, they save the lives of an orphan pet. In return, that pet gives them a lifetime of love, devotion and gratitude."
Helen Woodward Animal Center encourages military families to find their furry new family member during their Wags for Warriors Weekend Event, Saturday, May 24th through Monday, May 26th. SPECIAL BONUS: Join them Sunday, May 25th between 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and military adopters will receive a red, white and blue pet gift basket, FREE ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery and a ticket for enter-to-win raffle prizes.
For more information, please contact Helen Woodward Animal Center Adoptions Department at: 858-756-4117 ext. 313, visit www.animalcenter.org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

His life as a tomb robber
In the spring of 1890, the 25-year old Sven Anders Hedin was appointed interpreter of a diplomatic team the King of Sweden was sending to the Shah of Persia. Before they left Stockholm, a Swedish professor of anthropology asked Hedin to bring back some skulls of Zoroastrians. (We can only guess at the racist motives of the professor, but those are besides the point in our story.)
In his memoirs, My Life as an Explorer (1925), Hedin tells the story of how he and a Swedish friend he had in Persia, Dr. Hybennet, fulfilled the skull collector's wishes.
Accordingly, in the middle of June, when summer was at its height, and the thermometer registered 106° in the shade, I set out with Dr. Hybennet for the Tower of Silence, the funeral-place of the fire-worshippers, southeast of Teheran. We chose the early hours of the afternoon for our raid, because then everybody kept indoors, on account of the heat.At the Tower of Silence, where the Zoroastrians kept their dead in open graves for the vultures to clean the bones, they used a ladder to climb over the wall.
We took with us a kurchin, or soft saddlebag, in the two pockets of which we put straw, paper, and two watermelons, each the size of a man's head.
A rank, sickening smell of cadavers met us...There were sixty-one open, shallow graves. In about ten of them lay skeletons and corpses in various stages of putrefaction. Whitened and weather-beaten bones lay piled up alongside the wall.He did get caught at the customs a year later when he was leaving Persia for Sweden with the skulls he and Hybennet had meticulously cleaned.
After some deliberation, I selected the corpses of three adult men. The freshest corpse had been there only a few days; yet its soft parts, the muscles and entrails, had already been torn away and devoured by birds of prey. The eyes had been picked out, but the rest of the face remained, dried up, and as hard as parchment. I detached the dead man's skull and emptied it of its contents. I did the same with the second head. The third had been lying in the sun so long that its brains were dried up.
Then I emptied the bag, wrapped the skulls in paper, after first filling them with straw, and then put them in the bag in place of the watermelons. The bag thus retained its shape; and there was nothing to arouse the driver's suspicion, except the offensive smell, which may possibly have put strange ideas into his head.
The need for all this secrecy is obvious. What would the superstitious Persians and Parsees have thought of us, had they learned that we infidels were driving about, stealing skulls from their funeral-places?
All my belongings were examined most carefully, and at last three round objects, wrapped in paper and felt, and resembling footballs, rolled out on the floor.Amazingly, they let him go with his skulls. Imagine that happening now.
"What is this?" asked the customs inspector.
"Human heads," I answered, without blinking.
"I beg your pardon? Human heads?"
"Yes. Look, if you please!"
One of the balls was opened, and a skull grinned up at the inspectors.
Not that anything is wrong with tomb robbery.

I bought two other swim suits by Aqua Sphere, size 40 - which I absolutely love, they fit perfectly - they are each the same style, just different colors. This suit is a slightly different style and in this color only came in a 42, so I thought it would be fine. It is a lovely suit, but surprisingly tighter than the other two! So I will wait until I have lost a few more pounds before I slip into this suit!

Can you believe it's been one year since the emergence of Rebecca Black? Even if you haven't thought about her recently, you can rest easy knowing she made good on her 15+ minutes of fame, squeezing in award show appearances and a faux friendship with Katy Perry. As the search for her successor continues, early nominee "Hot Problems" by Double Take has failed to succeed in becoming the next "Friday." If we're not going to hate, love and then hate that we're loving the duo's original song, it might as well get some necessary Internet mockery. The minds of Bad Lip Reading bring us "Time To Rock," an updated take on a video that still features two arguably attractive females sitting in a limo, with a much more aggressive chorus ("Are you deaf boy, I'm a beat you / Ho, we should kick you") that's slightly unkind to animals. Like any hot girl, these two have massive appetites that defy the constraints of their tiny frames, and chicken, Funyuns and pudding are among the delicacies they like singing about the most. So be a dum-dum (as in the candy and the less than intelligent percentage of the population; its true meaning in this context is unclear) and check it out below.

I was traveling to a conference with a fellow Naturopath, discussing the cost and complexity of health care, when I was reminded of all the benefits of bone broth. Bone broth is a great source of many vital minerals including calcium, silicon, sulphur, magnesium, phosphorus and trace minerals. Also by boiling bones and the ligaments that link them, you will extract amino acids that your body can use for the health of your own ligaments and connective tissue. The process of slow cooking over a long period of time makes the nutrients accessible and easy to absorb.
Bone broth has been known to be a great tool in healing the gut. Those people who have intestinal inflammatory conditions, such as food sensitivities, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohns disease or colitis, are able to easily absorb nutrients from bone broth and replenish deficiencies. Bone broth contains gelatin which can enhance the production of digestive juices and helps prevent intestinal bugs from attaching themselves to the intestinal wall.
The minerals that are found in bone broth are best extracted from the bones by adding a little vinegar to the broth as it is cooking. One to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar per quart of water is recommended.
These minerals have many functions in the body besides growing healthy bones. When we are deficient in minerals, we steal them from our own bones; this can lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis. Minerals (especially calcium) are also helpful for pain and inflammation, cramps, muscle spasms, depression, insomnia, and palpitations.
Two amino acids are extracted from the joints and bones as they cook: glycine and proline. These are two necessary components of connective tissue, the glue that holds our bodies together. Connective tissue holds our joints together, keeps our skin in place, and helps keep our organs from all falling to the bottom of our abdomen. These two amino acids are known for their wound healing ability, and for contributing to fixing all the tiny damages that are done inside our bodies by inflammation. Glycine is also known to reduce inflammatory activity. Bone broth is great for supporting the body in healing infections, auto-immune disease, Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth or any organ damage. Proline is helpful in reversing atherosclerotic deposits. It encourages blood vessel walls to release the built up cholesterol. This will help decrease the blockages in your heart and reduce your risk of heart attacks.
As you can see, there are many benefits of bone broth. It is fairly easy to make. Start with the bones of any humanely-treated, range-fed animal. Place them in a large pot with vegetables of any kind. You can use the tops of carrots or celery, the ribs of kale or any other vegetable parts that are headed to the compost pile. Mushrooms are useful for immune support. Add some herbs if you wish; thyme and basil make a nice addition. Cover everything with filtered water. Don't forget to add the apple cider vinegar. Bring the pot to a boil and skim off any scum that rises to the top. Allow the broth to simmer for up to twenty-four hours. You can simmer less time for smaller bones. The broth might have a gel like consistency once it cools. This is a great sign and means you have lots of gelatin and amino acids. Don't worry if it isn't gel like, it will still be plenty healthful.
I recently have been experimenting by adding all kinds of things to my broth. Recently I added eggshells to increase the calcium levels. I have also added the left over fiber parts from juicing. The apple added an interesting flavor. I hope you enjoy experimenting with this healthy tonic.

I have always done art & crafts. I am unable to work a regular job due to arthritis so I'm hoping to support myself partly by selling this work.
I hate to see a pretty thing go to waste so I use recycled materials in much of my work.
I cannot thank everyone who favs my work personally but be assured I appreciate your attention & I do try to have a look at your galleries.
