Shrimp Broccoli & Cheese Soup recipe, an easy homemade soup recipe. In case you were wondering, it's still quite cold and wintery here in the northeast. Ok, you probably weren't wondering, but bare with me. Been on a soup "kick" lately which is probably my way of coping with the horrible winter weather. I love broccoli and cheese soup but always hate making soups using cups and cups of heavy cream. So instead, I like to use evaporated milk. It still tastes really good and has less calories and fat which is a nice bonus! You won't miss the cream!
I used my immersion blender to process the soup but you can use blender or food processor or leave the soup chunky. Be sure to chop the broccoli into really small pieces.
Since I was saving some fat and calories with the evaporated milk, I went with regular cheese, but a good melting light or lowfat cheese would also work well. Also love topping this soup with cheese and bacon. Ok, maybe I should have just gone with the cream!
I was a little hesitant about adding shrimp to the soup and was a little unsure about the combination but thought it worked just fine. The soup would be great without the shrimp or would also be great with precooked chopped chicken. The soup would also be good with bacon, sour cream, and/or chopped green onion. Or a combination of all of them! So many options, so little time!
I made a HUGE batch of this Broccoli & Cheese Soup and froze it in 2-cup containers for quick lunch and dinner options. If you're not looking to make a huge batch you might want to cut back on the ingredients. Your yield may vary a little if you change the recipe or protein. Hope you enjoy this warm comforting soup and hopefully the weather will be spring like soon so I can get over my soup kick!
|Shrimp Broccoli & Cheese Soup
- 12 cups chicken broth
- 4 (12 oz.) cans evaporated milk
- 8 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
- 3 pounds (small or medium) raw shrimp, peeled & deveined
- 4 cups (2 – 8oz. bags) shredded cheddar cheese (or any kind of cheese)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Optional (for thicker soup): ½ cup cornstarch & ½ cup cold water
- Toppings options: bacon, sour cream, chopped green onion, shredded cheese
- Pour chicken broth and evaporated milk into a very large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce heat to low to simmer. Add broccoli and cook about 5-7 minutes or until broccoli just starts to soften. Stir in cheese and shrimp and cook another 3-5 minutes or until shrimp is pink and cooked through and cheese has melted. Stir in garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
- Using an immersion blender, process the soup until desired consistency. If you don't have an immersion blender, pour soup in batches into a food processor or blender and process (make sure to leave the top slightly off for the steam to get out) then pour back into pan over heat.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together cornstarch and water until smooth. Slowly mix into soup until desired thickness. Top as desired.
SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Many different kinds of cheese would be great in this recipe. I think next time I might try cauliflower and Parmesan cheese. Instead of shrimp you could use any kind of protein such as chopped precooked chicken or omit the protein all together.

Sundays are a sacred day for many people. As Edgar Hernandez, the Pastoral Associate for the Catholic Community of Meridian explains, not every Sunday worship gets this sort of attention.
"Pentecost Sunday is the feast of the birthday of the church, really. When the holy spirit came upon the apostles and gave them the strength and the courage to go out and preach the good news of Jesus being raised from the dead," explains Hernandez.
Since Pentecost is upon us, Meridian's Catholic Community came together at Okatibbee Lake. Prayers were said in ten to twelve different languages to symbolize the diversity of those celebrating the day.
"What's amazing is that Pentecost brings the church universal together. What's amazing about this feast day is no matter what language or what country you're from, you're still apart of the universal church," says Hernandez.
"Pentecost means bringing all of the nations together and speaking different languages and so forth. We're hear representing the Catholic Community of Meridian. We have all different nationalities represented,' explains Inez Storr, a member of the Catholic Community of Meridian and a retired Spanish teacher.
This day showcasing the rich culture featured a procession of fifty different flags. Father Frank Cosgrove is the Pastor for St. Patrick's an St. Joseph's Catholic Church. He says the day of Pentecost has a very specific focus.
"The focus today is on our diversity as a catholic community of St. Joseph's, St. Patrick's and the Naval Air Station," says Pastor Cosgrove.
And that diversity is something Hernandez and Pastor Cosgrove are proud of.
"Pentecost Sunday brings people together of all races, all languages together," says Hernandez.
"We're delighted that we are a diverse Catholic community. And this is one of the times that we bring everybody together. And you know, the word Catholic means universal. We celebrate our universality and diversity," exclaims Pastor Cosgrove.
The flags from around the world, the singing, and the worship in so many languages captured the essence of this day. Being outside with so many people also added to the worship.
"Well, actually out in the open kind of gives it the what I call, 'back to the original roots' of preaching the gospel out in the open. So it kind of bring it back to the original roots," says Hernandez.

Let's forget about thinking
Thinking's never smart
Flush your brain right down the drain
And listen to your heart
Let's be a couple of dumbells
Dumb right from the start
Loose your mind, 'cause love is blind,
And listen to your heart
Let's be stupid together
Not a thought in our head
Bird brains of a feather
Who'll fly right into bed
Let's be tottaly foolish
Two nitwitts never apart
You'll find such bliss in
The kissin' you're missin'
So listen,listen to your heart
As Ev'rybody knows,
If it's sex they're thinking of,
Intellectuals are ineffectuals
When it comes to making love.
Nietzsche always said he wouldn't
Schopenhauer thought he shouldn't
And as for Immanuel Kant,
Ev'ry girl in town knew that Kant,
[Dance break]
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
Let's be blithering idiots
Singing love's sweet song
We'll blither ev'ry morning
and blither all night long
Let's find things undiscovered
Don't resist cupid's dart
You'll find such joy
Just by being a boy,
So listen, listen to your heart!

Britain's opposition Conservative Party leader David Cameron is surrounded by school children as he arrives to visit Brine Leas High School in nantwich, England, Friday April 16, 2010. Almost 10 million Britons watched the country's first televised election debate, which polls and pundits say was won by Nick Clegg, the little-known leader of the third-placed Liberal Democrats. Britain has never before held a televised leaders' debate, and most commentators judged it a success despite a rules-heavy format that barred audience applause. Two more debates are planned before May 6 elections.(AP Photo/Oli Scarff, pool)

College Top 25
Weekly chat transcript
Sun Belt, ULL feature
State of College Baseball
Jonathan Gray profile
It has been a fun season in the Sun Belt to say the least. The league has returned to its rightful spot as one of the premier mid-major leagues, and has a legitimate chance to get four teams in the NCAA postseason. For now, South Alabama and Troy are the slam-dunk picks, with Louisiana-Lafayette on the good side of the bubble, and Florida Atlantic just on the outside looking in at this point. The Owls dropped a tough home series to Arkansas-Little Rock last weekend, dropping from 38 to 57 in the latest RPI as a result. Overall, the Owls are 4-4 vs. RPI Top 25, 7-11 vs. RPI Top 50 and 13-12 vs. RPI Top 100. Winning a series against FIU, which has an RPI of 145, this weekend won't do a lot for FAU's resume, but there are plenty of opportunities for big wins in the conference tournament.
Just a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like the Big 12 might only get a couple of teams in the NCAA postseason. However, a couple of big series wins later, and some teams have moved up in the pecking order. One of those team is West Virginia. The Mountaineers, who haven't reached the NCAA postseason since 1996, captured a huge series win over Oklahoma last weekend, vaulting from 71 to 68 in the latest RPI. The Mountaineers actually have a rather strong resume for an at-large team with a 16-15 record vs. RPI Top 100 clubs in addition to being in a three-way tie with Oklahoma and Kansas State atop the conference standings. To illustrate just how close this at-large race is, Oklahoma State, which is sixth in the league standings, but just 1 1/2 games out of first place, is in this week's field of 64. The Pokes are playing a good brand of baseball these days and has an RPI of 46, up from 51 last week. The Pokes are 2-1 vs. RPI Top 25, 4-2 vs. RPI Top 50 and 14-10 vs. RPI Top 100. not a phenomenal resume, but certainly one worth an at-large bid at this point.
In one of the many surprises when it comes to the 2013 postseason picture, Conference USA continues to look like a two-bid league heading down the stretch, potentially even a one-bid league. Southern Mississippi continues to lead the conference standings by 1 1/2 games, and it's hard to imagine the C-USA regular season champion doesn't make the NCAA tournament field. With that said, with an RPI in the 80s, it's easy to say the Golden Eagles have quite a bit of work to do to be completely safe. Houston is the one team besides USM and Rice who could get back in the postseason mix. The Cougars have really sputtered the past few weeks, sitting sixth in C-USA, though, only 3 1/2 games out of first place. UH has an RPI of 54, up from 77 last week, with a 4-3 mark vs. RPI Top 50 teams and 16-12 mark vs. RPI Top 100 teams.
The Big East has made some significant strides this spring, and it's looking rather good for three or four postseason bids at this point. Louisville, South Florida and Pittsburgh are pretty much slam-dunk bets at this point barring surprising collapses. Pitt and USF lead the Big East standings with impressive 15-3 league records. Both also have RPIs in the 40s. Meanwhile, Louisville is in good shape to earn an NCAA Regional host site with an RPI of 21 along with a 7-4 record vs. RPI Top 50 and 12-5 record vs. RPI Top 100. Seton Hall also is in the good side of the bubble this week, while Notre Dame is a team to watch the final few weeks of the regular season. The Fighting Irish have a rough conference record at 8-10, but played a tough non-conference schedule, and as a result, still have an RPI of 31 with a league-best nine wins vs. RPI Top 50 clubs.
Let's just throw out the idea the Atlantic Coast Conference will get four of the eight national seeds. North Carolina and Virginia seem like very safe bets at this point, leaving North Carolina State and Florida State as competitors for the final national seed from the conference. N.C. State has the edge right now, but the two teams will meet for a three-game set before the regular season ends, likely determining that final spot. FSU barely missed the cut, but still has a very impressive resume. FSU has an RPI of 5 with a 10-9 mark vs. RPI Top 25 clubs, 12-9 mark vs. RPI Top 50 and 23-9 mark vs. RPI Top 100 clubs. That series between the Wolfpack and Seminoles ought to be a dandy.
Though the 16 NCAA host sites look good for now in the latest projections, keep a very close eye on Clemson and South Alabama moving forward. Clemson has an RPI of 14, a good ACC record and an overall good resume. The Tigers are 10-11 vs. RPI Top 25, 13-11 vs. RPI Top 50 and 19-13 vs. RPI Top 100. Meanwhile, South Alabama has representation on the NCAA Selection Committee and has been extremely consistent this spring. The Jaguars are 0-2 vs. RPI Top 25, 6-8 vs. RPI Top 50 and 15-12 vs. RPI Top 100. Clemson obviously has the better resume at this point, but USA could get a host site in an effort to reward the Sun Belt for an impressive campaign.

Pixar Cars Shake 'N Go King
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
January 12, 2009
Are you a fan of Pixar's movie Cars?
Do you love NASCAR?
Let's take King for a test drive and see how Richard Petty does behind the mic.
Pixar Cars Shake 'N Go King
I confess, I was living under a rock and hadn't seen Cars until the Christmas holidays this past year (2008). After watching the movie, I decided to get King for my son because not only had he asked Santa Claus for a blue car, the film was still fresh in his mind and I happened to grow up watching televised broadcasts of races nearly every Sunday with my dad while visiting with my grandparents. Needless to say, I was more than familiar with his hero, Richard Petty, and had a special appreciation for this particular product.
Released in 2006, the Mattel Shake & Go "Cars" Racers puts the control of speed and power into kids hands, suitable for children ages 3 years and up. Mattel says that kids can act out their favorite scenes for the movie "Cars" with the 4 stylish and collectible vehicles in this assortment including the characters Doc (voiced by the late Paul Newman), Mater (voiced by Larry The Cable Guy), King, and McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson). All the cars have their own specific engine sounds and phrases that will be activated as kids SHAKE the cars to rev them up and then watch them GO!
An aside: The car can be turned off by flicking a switch for times when it is not in use. Kicking the car by accident, putting the toy away and accidentally shaking it, or trying to sneak it into your house to wrap up for your kids can also trigger engine sounds so be careful if it's meant to be a surprise!
Richard Petty Voice Over Performance
Richard Petty did very well in the movie (as did his wife, Lynda), and the Mattel Shake 'N Go King featuring Petty's voice was very authentic and will bring back memories for some and inspire others as this racing giant delivers sound encouragement through his voice. Petty recorded two lines that are triggered by shaking the car and releasing it. The voice over happens once the wheels are securely on the ground, just before the car takes off.
Petty says "You're one gutsy racer", and "You've got a lot of talent, kid!" as the car revs and prepares to zoom down your hallway.
About Richard Petty

Petty Enterprises relates, among other things, that Richard Petty achieved 200 Career NASCAR Winston Cup victories, is a 7-time Winston Cup Champion, 7 Daytona 500 victories, had 27 victories in one season (1967), and was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1997.

This is a story close to home... literally. My studio is about 20 minutes from Lowes Motorspeedway and I live about 5 minutes from Joe Gibbs Racing as well. Recently I had the honor of providing voiceover services for Richard Petty's son, Kyle Petty, who runs Victory Junction Gang Camp for seriously ill kids... it is a marvel!
While being given a tour of the facility during a huge Christmas celebration, my family and I were introduced to Kyle and we had pictures taken with him. He thanked me for the voiceover (my girls did some vo for him too... their voices will be heard at all 36 races in 2009 as they promote Victory Junction Gang Camp... forgive the proud moment) and then we went over and had our picture taken with Richard Petty himself.... how cool... yes we are a bit redneck, but that's OK. Anytime someone excels at their profession it's exciting... when you win 7 championships and 200 races... well, that's why they call him The KING.
P.S. Richard stood in the very low temps for 3 hours signing autographs for every last person in line... everyone! So, there's more to some folks that just what you see or hear. This man is gracious and, heck, he knew about "Branding" before it was popular... just look at his hat and glasses!
AND... I have in my hot little hands a gift from the Petty's. OH, what is the gift, you ask? Well let's just say I will be driving a 600 horsepower NASCAR around Lowes Motorspeedway for 8 laps as fast as I can do. My wife will be doing a Ride-Along at qualifying speeds of 165 for 3 laps as she rides with an instructor. All of this MAJOR FUN is a gift. You see, we decided not to charge the Petty's because of the great work they do on behalf of kids... it was a gift. Well, they turned around and gave me a gift I will never forget! Forgive the long winded comment. I promise not to comment on the next 7 posts since I used up so much space on this one!Posted by:
Hi Brian,
Thank you for sharing and commenting with your stories! It's always nice to hear about personal experiences and what a pleasure it was to learn more about your connection to Kyle Petty and Richard Petty. It doesn't surprise me that your daughters are doing voiceovers for the Pettys!
Richard Petty has been branding for a long time. Two of the things I think of first when his name comes up is his cowboy hat and iconic sunglasses. I was chatting with my dad about this article last night and he reminded me that I actually had a Richard Petty talking car when I was little that said "Get out of my way!". I guess Richard's been in the booth before :)
Enjoy your 8 laps around Lowes!
Best wishes,
StephaniePosted by:
I think Cars was one of the best animated films ever made. It had an original idea that connected to not only NASCAR fans but to America in general with a reflective look at how things use to be. I think having drivers lend their voices made the picture awesome and Richard Petty did a great job behind the mic. Pixar is possibly the best animated studio working right now and my dream job would be to assist in a movie for them.Posted by:
Stephanie....What is the name of that talking car? Who is it made by? I remember it being hilarious when i saw it in the store.Posted by:
Hi David,
Thank you for commenting. I hope my reply finds you well.
The company that made this toy is Mattel and the toy itself is called Pixar Cars 'Shake 'N Go King.'
Take care,

It seems that horsemeat has made it into the food supply of some restaurants in Europe. US Government officials have assured us that the US meat supply remains unaffected. Strange turn of events.
One Response to "Horse Sense?"
Financial Independence Says:
March 5th, 2013 at 5:06 am
I think the whole problem is over exaggerated. In many countries people actually do eat horse meat. It is lean and good for you. Scientist suggest that there is no danger to a human bodies eating horse meat.
What is the problem? Average sausage contents 20% non meat products and 30% fat. People eat them happily…

Schools Primary and Pre-school Outings
School outings are the highlight of a Child's calender and at Chuckies we have facilitated many schools tours over the years. It is an ideal venue for young children where a high level of supervision is required as child safety is our No. 1 priority.
Our aim at Chuckies is to provide a challenging play environment for the kids where they can learn new skills in a fun way. We also provide support for Teachers/Carers who are supervising the children so that it is an enjoyable and stress free outing for everyone.
If you would like more details on our School Tours Package, please contact us on 021 4344112 or email us on firstname.lastname@example.com
Fundraising Opportunity for Primary Schools
Every year it is the task of the Parents Association to focus on raising as much money as possible to support the financial needs of their School. It can often be a very challenging responsibility and is getting more difficult as the years go on to come up with new ways of raising fund. In response to this, Chuckies has come up with an innovative fundraising opportunity.
From Mon - Friday each week from 10th Jan - 30th June, we are offering the facilities at Chuckies to Schools who wish to hold a social evening for the purpose of fundraising. This is an ideal way for all the family to enjoy an evening out and meet other parents and children in their locality. Funds taken at the door will go directly to the school and other than a nominal contribution toward the costs of hosting the event, Chuckies will sponsor Staff & other associated costs. All we ask is that the Parents Association organise a team of helpers at the end of the night to help with the clean up!
To ensure that the evening is a success, at least 6 weeks notice is required when booking an evening. This allows time for promoting the event.
If you would like to discuss how Chuckies can help your School to raise funds, please email us on firstname.lastname@example.com

They indeed disbelieve who say: Surely, Allah — He is the Messiah, son of Mary. Say; Who then could control anything as against Allah when He wished to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother and all those on the earth? And Allah's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. He creates what He pleases. And Allah is Possessor of power over all things (Qur'an 5:17).Certainly they disbelieve who say: Allah, He is the Messiah, son of Mary. And the Messiah said: O Children of Israel, serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, Allah has forbidden to him the Garden and his abode is the Fire. And for the wrongdoers there will be no helpers (Qur'an 5:72).They take their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah, son of Mary. And they were enjoined that they should serve one God only — there is no god but He. Be He glorified from what they set up (with Him)! (Qur'an 9:31). And when Allah will say: O Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah? He will say: Glory be to Thee! it was not for me to say what I had no right to (say). If I had said it, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy mind. Surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen (Qur'an 5:116).

Hangover Joe's Rings in 2013
Hangover Joe's Recovery Shots reports that it has a lot to celebrate at the close of 2012. In 2012, Hangover Joe's Inc. became a publicly traded company and saw 200 percent growth in sales from 2011. The brand also began international distribution shipping product to Canada, Australia and New Zealand. "We see continued growth and success across the U.S. and around the world for the brand because consumers love our product," says CEO Michael Jaynes.
Co-founder and marketing manager Shawn Adamson notes that on New Year's Eve, the company has posted sampling teams prepared to distribute Hangover Joe's Recovery Shots at several of the nation's largest celebrations, including Times Square in New York City, the French Quarter in New Orleans and Fremont Street in Las Vegas.
In 2013, Hangover Joe's Recovery Shots will continue to emerge as the next big beverage product with their strategic relationship with the Warner Bros. film franchise The Hangover. "With the Memorial Day weekend release of The Hangover 3 and its overall brand awareness, we expect to see exponential growth and even stronger public awareness of our product. It's going to be a very good year," says national sales manager and co-founder Michael Malm.
Taken the morning after and featuring a patent-pending blend of antioxidants, vitamins and herbs, Hangover Joe's Recovery Shot has become a favorite choice of consumers needing fast and effective relief from alcohol consumption.
Hangover Joe's Recovery Shot can be found coast-to-coast in the U.S. at such retail outlets as 7-11, Racetrac, Love Truck Stops, Valero, Terrible Herbst gas stations, Aloha Gas, Long's Drugs, Kwik Shops, select Bed, Bath & Beyond outlets, Stripes Convenience Stores and Hastings Entertainment.

Rangers manager Ally McCoist believes he has recruited two of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League's top performers from last season after signing both Dean Shiels and Ian Black.
Former Hibernian and Kilmarnock midfielder Shiels penned a four-year deal with the Glasgow giants on Tuesday, while Black - a free agent following his departure from Hearts - joined at the weekend. The pair are the first players to be recruited since Rangers were consigned to liquidation and voted into the Irn-Bru Third Division.
McCoist told rangers.co.uk: "We are thrilled that Dean has agreed to come to us. He is very optimistic, the same as we are, that we can come through the leagues with a bit of style."
The Gers boss added: "We are all aware of how difficult that will be but it's a challenge that Dean is also looking forward to and it's a great boost for everybody at the club that somebody of Dean's quality has decided that he sees his future at the club.
"We know what we are getting, we are getting a very talented player who was quite rightly voted one of the best players in the SPL last year. I'm a little bit biased but I would include Ian Black in that category too.
"So they are two great signings and hopefully there will be more to come. It's a sign of the pulling power and the stature of the club that these guys want to join Rangers."
Rangers have also tabled an offer for former Hearts and Celtic forward Craig Beattie, who has been training at Murray Park.
McCoist faces a race against time to assemble a squad before a 12-month transfer embargo comes into effect on September 1.
"I have meetings with (chief scout) Neil Murray and (chief executive) Charles Green [on Wednesday]," he said. "We will push a few names forward and see where we go.
"Charles has spoken to Craig Beattie's agent and he made him an offer. As yet, I have not heard back from him or from Craig but hopefully I will do in the next 24 hours."

Augusta, Ga.—Five local high school athletes, including two all-area players, were selected to participate in the invitation-only IMG ALL-MADDEN Football Camp on July 26-28 in Bradenton, Fla.
The group includes the Strom Thurmond trio of Jauveer Hammond, Kenyatta Dunbar and Chad Gilchrist and Laney's Vi'cente Walker and Andrea James.
Every summer, the elite football camp welcomes top high school players from across the country to train with an all-star cast of former NFL players and coaches.
This year's lineup includes Chris Weinke, academy director and Heisman Trophy/National Championship winner; Vinny Testaverde, guest quarterback instructor, Heisman Trophy winner and two-time pro bowler; and Mark Carrier, wide receiver instructor, three-time pro-bowler and defensive backs coach for the Cincinnati Bengals.
During the weekend, which replicates the intensive experience of an NFL mini-camp, players receive both an offensive and defensive playbook. Each player is invited based on his performance, and at camp's completion, top players are named to the 2013 IMG ALL-MADDEN Team and the NCSA Athletic Recruiting Next Men In Team. Camp MVPs are also honored.
All five athletes are members of Sleeper Recruit, an Augusta-based sports mentoring program dedicated to helping young athletes achieve their highest potential by identifying key opportunities such as the IMG ALL-MADDEN football camp.
"We mentor athletes both physically and academically so that they can advance to the next level," said cofounder Rodney Tillman. "For many, this will mean the opportunity to earn college scholarships and even play professionally."
This past year, one of Sleeper Recruit's members, Jakar Hamilton, participated in the NFL draft and signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent.

The hotel is a scam. It is abandoned. Is terrible. No one answers the phone to make the claim
by James from Tennessee
Not as describedPosted Mar 1, 2016 on Hotels
Nice folks, nice rooms but the rest of the property appears mostly abandoned & in much dis-repair. Pool not useable as well as the mini golf. Never saw another guest and the property is down a long, rough gravel road. The actual rooms are nice, clean and comfortable but is no resort by any means. Water barely ran in the shower and took a full 10 minutes before it warmed up. No WIFI except in limited areas, limited times. Have read several other internet reviews & seriously doubt their validity.

We will be backPosted Feb 20, 2013 on Hotels
We just go back from Costa Rica.We stay at the resort for a weekend , it was the most relax weekend that we had in a long time. It was the perfect place if you want to go away from the routine of the city. The place was clean , comfortable and the staff very good people, they were always there to answer our questions about the apt for the spa and the organized tours. In few words it is a great place to enjoy and to learn how to appreciate different things in life. We will be back soon with our family. We recommend this place for whoever needs a little time in a very different and beautiful place.
by Ana from Nicaragua
Great Place!!!Posted Feb 11, 2013
Pros: Love the pool and the amazing nature surrounding the property
Location: Very convenient away from the city noise, and 6 km away from the beach.
After travelling in Nicaragua, it was such a pleasure to come to this place (again). This was my second time we stayed at Inti Resort. I can't say enough about the staff...everyone was so genuine in trying to make sure everything was just right. The gardens are beautiful and the new restaurant amazing. , the food is great; the attention to detail by Gaby the main Chef at the restaurant was incredible. Room was immaculate clean. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking or a true tropical retreat, keeping the ecology of the planet seem the main concern of this hotel Now if you are looking for telephones on the room, room service and the luxury of the city you better keep looking.

3 miles off the main pathPosted Jan 7, 2013 on Hotels
Way over priced for what you get. Including taxes. Even if the price was HALF what I paid, it would be too much. My advice: there's much nicer places for less $'s.
by Mike from Canada
Not a resort, more like a motelPosted Jan 5, 2013
Pros: The staff were friendly, the scenery is beautiful (lots of nature)
Cons: The management was never around, nothing worked
Location: In the middle of nowhere - far from the beach, far from town, far from everything!
First and foremost: This hotel is a 5 km drive into the jungle along a winding, steep gravel road. If you are driving yourself you will need 4WD, if you are not then I would recommend staying somewhere else. Also, there is no internet here at all, and no phones in the rooms. The hotel maintained a veneer of 4 star quality, but once you scratched the surface nothing lived up to the hype. NOTHING WORKS! The tennis courts were cracked, the mini golf course was overgrown and flooded, the spa saunas were nonfunctional and the games room only had a working foosball table (the pool table did not work). The "yoga area" was a roofed area down the hill, there was no yoga instructor on site. The food at the restaurant was excellent, but the menu was limited with just 3 pasta dishes and 4 entrees, and there isn't anywhere else to eat without driving. The hotel offers a supposed shuttle service to various locations, but we were charged between $15-$30 USD each way, including pickup from our previous hotel. The room itself was quite basic, with creaky wooden floors, paper thin walls and a bathroom that was questionable at best. It was shabbier than a roadside motel in North America. Twice the water simply shut off! The management was terrible but the staff were quite nice. While few spoke English, they really tried to make our stay the best it could be. Overall the place was just disappointing, my wife and I were looking forward to a beautiful resort and we got a cheap motel.

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air news, pictures, specifications, and information
Six Cylinder Two-Door Nomad Wagon
Chevrolet's renaissance occurred in 1955 when the company shifted its focus to the youth market rather than mom's 'grocery-getters' cars. The Chevrolet Nomad was introduced mid-year 1955 as part of Chevrolet's top series Bel Air lineup.
The 1955 Chevrolet Nomad was a freshly-styled two-door, hardtop station wagon. It featured a ribbed roof, slanted 'B' pillars, vertical chrome tailgate bars, a chrome spear on the front fenders and doors and a wraparound back window.
This 1955 Nomad is powered by Chevrolet's 265 cubic-inch, 162 horsepower, overhead V-8 that was introduced in 1955. Thanks to Chevrolet's new design, model year production sky-rocketed to over 1.7 million - of new - the highest priced Chevrolet in the 1955 line-up.

2007 RM Auctions
For 1955, Chevrolet introduced a new 'small block V8', a new 12 volt system, new brakes, and a new 'Glide Ride' suspension system. The 'Motoramic' styling featured a wrap-around windshield and a profile three inches lower than its predecessor. There were over 1.7 million Chevrolets built in 1955.
This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions held in Amelia Island, Florida. It was offered without reserve and estimated to sell between $40,000 - $60,000. The car is equipped with a 265 cubic-inch overhead valve V8 engine capable of producing over 160 horsepower. There is a Powerglide two-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drum brakes.
The Nomad was added to the Chevrolet line-up mid-year and shared many styling cues in the front from its siblings. In the rear, the Nomad was unique. It also commanded the most money; more than any other production Chevrolets at the time. The base sticker price was $2,571 which was about $260 more than the Bel Air Convertible.
The Nomad had a two-door wagon configuration and finished in attractive, exclusive, two-tone colors. There were slanted B-pillars and a wrap around rear window. Other styling features segregated it from its siblings. Mechanically, the Nomad was identical to the other model lines.
The first owner of this vehicle was a San Diego, California resident. It was later purchased by a collector from Fresno and later sold again. This car has been recently repainted to its coral and gray two-tone original color combination. The chrome accent pieces have also been recently restored to new condition.
The car was ordered with such optional equipment as power steering, power windows, power brakes, and power seats. It is one of only 8,386 Nomads created.
At auction, the car found its next owner, selling for $57,750.

Every potential and available option was included as standard on the Bel Air. It was a package filled with comfort, convenience and styling. Closed body styles were given carpeting as standard. On the Bel Air Sport Coupe the chrome-ribbed headliner was standard, as were the selection of upholstery fabrics, gold Bel Air script, and horizontal chrome strips on the sides of the front fender and doors. There were a variety of colors to select from in 1955 in both sold and two-tone styles.
Only ten percent of the buyers selected the Convertible Bel Air which has made them among the most desirable, rare, and collectable of all Bel Air bodystyles. This 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions held at Meadow Brook. It is powered by an overhead valve V8 engine that displaces 265 cubic-inches and is capable of producing 180 horsepower. There is a two-speed Powerglide automatic gearbox and four-wheel drum brakes. The elegant body rests comfortably on a 115-inch wheelbase. There are power brakes, power top, and the optional power package. It has been treated to a restoration which included an overhaul of the engine. It has the sought-after Wonderbar radio, the optional chrome package, proper carpet saver mats, and period correct literature and sales brochures. At auction it was estimated to sell between $65,000 - $85,000. Bidding reached $55,000 but was unable to satisfy the vehicles reserve. It left the auction unsold.

Six Cylinder Two-Door Nomad Wagon
The concept of a 2-door station wagon was first showcased by General Motors at the 1954 Motorama, with the Corvette Nomad show car. Crowds loved the unusual 2-door wagon and as a result, Harley Earl assigned Carl Renner to redesign the Bel Air wagon for 1955. The result was the fantastic Chevrolet Nomad, which featured distinctive 'B' pillars supporting a ribbed hardtop. The Nomad was Chevy's most expensive car in 1955 at $2571.
What does the upcoming Indianapolis 500 have in common wîth the same race in 1955? Both races at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway were paced by a Chevrolet wîth a GM small-block V-8 engine. The link between the two pace vehicles bears special significance because the GM small-block V-8 celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
T.H. Keating, a former Chevrolet Division general manager, paced the same race in a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air on May 30, 1955. That Chevy was powered by the first version of the GM small-block V-8 engine ever produced, wîth a displacement of 265 cubic inches and rated at 180 horsepower at 4,600 rpm.

This is an original, unrestored, one-owner car with 48,000 original miles. It has all available options including air conditioning.
1955 was the first year for the V8 engine by Chevrolet. The press called the Bel Air Sport Coupe 'an excellent example of smart profile styling.' Clare M. MacKichon was head of the Chevrolet Design Studio when the 1955 was introduced.
Six Cylinder Convertible
This was the first year for the newly designed V8 engine including new fresh styling that set sales records for 1955. With the new design, sales jumped to 750,000 cars with 41,300 being convertibles. The new V8 engine had a bore of 3.75 and a 3-inch stroke for 265 cubic-inches.
This automobile has Power Pack (4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust) for 202 horsepower. The restoration was completed in 2003.
V-8 Convertible
In the 1950's, singer Dinah Shore was urging Americans to 'See the USA in a Chevrolet' and there probably wasn't a better way to do that than in a Bel Air convertible.
The Bel Air was Chevrolet's top-of-the-line series for 1955. It featured an elegant trim package that set it apart from the less expensive Chevrolet series.
The Bel Air was powered by Chevrolet's 265 cubic-inch, overhead valve V-8 motor that developed 123 horsepower but was increased to 180 horsepower with the power pack option, which is installed on this model.

The 1955 Chevrolet had attractive styling with eyebrow headlight sculpting, vertical-pillar wrapping windshield, smooth lines, tastefully-restrained rear fins, and an egg crate grille.

From 1950 through 1952 Chevrolet hardtops in the Deluxe model line were dubbed the 'Bel Air'. It took a few more years before it would become its own distinct series. In 1953, the Bel Air became its own model and was applied to Chevrolet's top-of-the-line model range. By 1955, the cars were offered with an optional V8 engine which greatly improved the cars performance.
In 1953 Chevrolet had three new models and 17 body styles to select from. This was the company's widest range of offerings in its history. The introduction of the Chevrolet was stirring press for the company, but so was the Bel Air, considered the company's Crown Jewel.
The Bel Air Series consisted of a two and four-door sedan, sport coupe, and a convertible coupe. Everything that was standard on the lower priced series was standard on the Bel Air, plus so much more including comfort, convenience and styling options. There was a one-piece curved windshield which added superb visibility. The luggage compartment was massive and the 115-inch wheelbase provided plenty of interior room for its occupants. The 115-horsepower Blue-Flame six-cylinder engine was new and the most powerful engine in Chevrolet's history.
In 1954, the Bel Air was launched as a 1955 model and brought with it a fresh new, elegant look for Chevrolet. With bold features that included hooded headlights, tailfins, wrap-around windshield, and rear fender skirts, the Bel Air was able to out-style the competition. The base engine was a six-cylinder, 115 horsepower power-plant. At a base price of $1095, it was a bargain. It is considered America's first low-priced 'hardtop coupe'. The most famous of the Bel Air engine options was the 283 cubic-inch V-8 small-block, with Ramjet Fuel injection. It delivered one horsepower per cubic inch, a first for production cars. Along with style, the Bel Air was a fast machine. Chevrolet quickly ascertained a reputation for building performance vehicles.
A full-width grill, redesigned front and rear fenders, gas cap behind the left taillight, larger rectangular parking lights, and sweeping side trim were just a few of the changes that set the 1956 Chevrolet apart from the 1955, which had taken the country by storm with its all new body re-design.
For the performance-minded public, the 1956 Chevrolet offered three 265 cubic-inch Turbo-Fire V-8 engine options: base 170 hp, 205 hp 4 bbl and the 225 hp dual 4 bbl.
Chevrolet produced 1,574,740 cars in the 1956 model year, of which 41,268 were Belair Convertibles. The 3,320 pound car cost $2,443 with the base V-8. You could literally load your new Chevy with factory options and accessories and stay under $3,000.
In 1957, the Bel Air grew in length by 2-1/2 inches and received a wider and taller grille. Additional options became available including two-tone interior, power convertible top, shoulder harnesses, tinted glass, seat belts, tissue dispenser, and ventilated seat pads.
In total, there were seven body styles to select from. In 1957, a two-page Chevrolet magazine ad proclaimed that 'Chevy puts the purr in performance'. This Bel Air Convertible, with the optional 245 HP 283 CID small block V-8 equipped with two four barrel carburetors, would certainly deliver on the promise made by the ad copy noted above, delivering a hearty purr from its dual exhausts.
Over the years these popular cars became an icon for the entire generation and they have gone on to become one of the most desirable and collectable post war cars of all. 47,000 Bel Air convertibles were produced in the 1957 model year.
The Chevrolet models grew in length in 1958 and increased in size. The Chevrolet Impala became their top-of-the-line model, followed by the middle-range Bel Air. The front end featured a broad grill with quad headlights.
By the later part of the 1960s, the Chevrolet Bel Air moved into the territory of a fleet vehicle. It was a basic machine built on Chevrolet's large platform and outfitted with few thrills or options. It was a good car though it lacked the prestige of times gone by.
The 1964 Chevrolet Be Air (Series 1600) was Chevrolet's mid-priced line between the basic Biscayne and the Impala.
The Biscayne was discontinued after 1972 and the Bel Air was moved into its place, becoming Chevrolet's low-level model. Production in the United States continued until 1975 though production continued in Canada until 1981.

A few tips: Make sure you get sushi rice and not long grain rice. Only short grain rice is suitable for sushi making. I buy seasoned rice vinegar - which already contains sugar and salt. If you only have unseasoned - simmer 1/3 cup unseasoned rice vinegar with 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Let cool before using. Buy very thin ham slices, deli-style thin is best.
Ingredients:Sushi Rice
2 cups short-grain sushi rice
2 cups + 2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegarSushi Spinach-Egg Filling:
1/2 cup chopped frozen spinach, defrosted
1 teaspoon cooking oil
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon saltSushi Rolls:
6-8 thin ham slices (thin deli-style sandwich ham)
6 sheets sushi seaweed (nori) 7 1/2" x 9" sheet
bamboo sushi mat, completely wrapped with plastic wrap on both sides
Sushi Rice
Make the sushi rice : Place rice in fine-mesh colander and rinse well to remove excess starch; drain. Transfer to a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan. Add water. Cover with tight fitting lid and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low or medium-low. Very gently simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Transfer rice to a large baking dish or large bowl. Slightly cool. Sprinkle with rice vinegar; very gently toss until combined. Cool to room temperature. Cover with damp towel to prevent rice from drying out. When making sushi, you want the rice to be close to room temperature (hot, steaming rice will make the seaweed soggy).
Meanwhile, for the spinach-egg filling, squeeze as much water out of the spinach as possible.
Finely chop the spinach. Gently fry the eggs with the spinach and season with salt. Let cool before rolling sushi.
To roll the sushi, have all your ingredients ready.
Lay out the sushi mat, with the bamboo running horizontally. The sushi mat should be completely wrapped in plastic wrap (otherwise the rice will stick to it). Lay the nori on the mat.
Wet your hands, fling off excess water and grab about 3/4 cup of the sushi rice. Damp hands will prevent the rice from sticking. Use your fingertips and gently spread out the rice all over the seaweed.
You don't want too much rice - just enough to barely cover.
Lay down the ham.
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the egg/spinach mixture. Move the nori so it is flush with the bottom of the mat.
Now bring up the edge of the mat.
Begin rolling - but keep the edge of the bamboo mat up on top of the rice. Roll with one hand, and use the other hand to gently tug the mat. This will ensure a tight roll.
See how I keep the edge of the bamboo mat up? Continue rolling and gently tugging until roll is complete.
Give it nice final tug back to tighten roll.
There you go. See how even the roll is?
Dip the tip your knife in water, and slice into 6 even pieces. A wet knife tip will prevent sticking.

Mother's Day offers us a chance to thank the woman who loved us through those awkward toddler and teen years, who changed our diapers, healed boo-boos and chased away monsters.
You're searching for the perfect gift. Last year's was a flop and you've had almost a whole year to plan out a better present. To help you out, we've asked members what they'd list on the "worst mother's day gift" register.
Here are the gifts our members found might not always say "I love you, Mom." While your mom might enjoying carpentry or big trucks, she's the exception. Most of us will want to opt out of these presents.
Anything Weight Related
A pre-paid membership for a weight loss program: While you might have the best intentions and want her to look her best or feel her best, this gift could hurt her feelings. A scale, diet books and workout DVD might not deliver the message you had in mind, either. Of course, if it's on her wish list, that's a different story!
"I got my mom a membership at Weight Watchers. She was going on a cruise in the summer. I just wanted her to feel good about herself. She felt hurt, instead," Kara shares.
A better gift: Treat your mom to a day at the spa or invite her over for a healthy, home-cooked meal.
Tickets to Events You Love
Monster Truck Rally or Demolition Derby tickets: Some women love 'em. One mom I know has been trying to win tickets for weeks! Other moms would rather spend the day strapped to an ant hill on a hot, sweaty day or confined in a small room with 17 two-year-olds.
A better gift: Tickets to an event she'd love and then you come along...and enjoy yourself.
A Chainsaw, Xbox or Jumper Cables
That kick-butt air wrench set: Dads take note. Mother's Day is not an excuse to buy something that you've been wanting. Step away from the power tools and stop drooling over a Harley, unless the mother on your list would die for a new power tool.
"Dad got my mom a power drill. She was nice about it, but she wasn't all that thrilled. I think she was hoping for a 'toy' she'd enjoy -- like a bubbler for her pond," Ren says.
A better gift: Go for the grill. Thanks to food networks, most chicks dig them. Not only will you get points for a great gift, but you'll rake in benefits, like a good meal.
Anything Kitchen
A toaster or pots and pans: No one wants reminded of work on their special day. A new can opener or waffle maker could say "cook for me," not "I appreciate you." If a cordless knife, Unless it's something like a high dollar Kitchenaid mixer she's wanted forever, tread carefully in this department.
Anna says, "Anything related to cooking or cleaning is generally a bad idea. My mom once told me that she hated getting that kind of stuff because it felt like she was being told to cook and clean more."
A better gift: If you must go with a kitchen-themed gift, consider purchasing it from a charity catalog. Then mom has two gifts to love.
Wrapping it Up
Your heart was in the right place. You sought advice on gifts for moms. You listened all year for hints. Still, you gave a gift that she really didn't like. Don't worry; that can happen. Include a gift receipt in the box. She'll feel loved that you spent time choosing a great gift and even more loved that you recognize that even a mom has her own preferences.
Moms out there, what's the worst Mother's Day gift you've seen or received?
Some of the tackiest gifts
Some of the tackiest gifts can come along with a huge "I love you!"
My now 27-year-old was looking through my jewelry box this week. One year when she was 7 or 8, she found the MOST beautiful (to a small girl's eye) set of rings. She bartered for them and they became my Mother's Day Gift. For the record, they are gaudy and awful and don't fit. But to me, they represent a child discovering the most lovely thing in the world and wanting me, her mommy, to have it. I treasured those.
Back to the 27-year-old...She found that set of rings and said, "OMG! What was I thinking? These are awful!"
I know what she was thinking. "I love you, mommy."

How to Give Yourself a Metabolic Tune-Up: 8 Tips for a Longer, More Energetic Life
Are you tired and worn out? Do you have sore muscles, fatigue and brain fog?
If so, you might have metabolic burnout!
Imagine if you could find a way to tune up your metabolism, increase your energy levels, think clearly and feel less achy. Imagine if you could prevent diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson's disease and dementia. Imagine if you could heal fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Imagine if you could get to the roots of aging, slow the whole process and eliminate most age-related diseases.
These aren't just fantasies. All these things are possible — if you give yourself a metabolic tune-up.
You might have heard of rats fed high doses of resveratrol, the plant compound found in red wine. But, did you know that those rats lived 30 percent longer than their peers — the equivalent of an additional 120 human years — even though they ate a bad diet? In fact, they became fitter and lost weight even while eating a poor-quality, standard American diet. How could they eat high amounts of bad food and not exercise, yet still become fitter AND live 30 percent longer than the average rat?
One word: MITOCHONDRIA — the source of your energy.
The resveratrol protected and improved the function of the mitochondria through its effects on special master-aging genes.
So, what are mitochondria, and what do they have to do with having more energy, losing weight and living to be 120 years old without any disease? Today you will learn the answer to that question. And, I will provide you with eight tips you can start using today to give yourself a metabolic tune-up and boost your energy metabolism.
The key to more energy lies in providing your mitochondria with the right environment to thrive. When you do, you can boost your energy metabolism. Doing this is the sixth of the seven keys to UltraWellness, and it is absolutely essential if you want to obtain optimal health.
So, let's look at what mitochondria are and what they do.
What are mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the little factories in our cells that take the foods we eat and the oxygen we breathe and convert them into energy. That energy is called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, and it is used to support every function in our body. Each cell holds hundreds or thousands of mitochondria; they are found in greater amounts in active organs and tissues such as the muscles, heart and brain. In fact, we have more than 100,000 trillion mitochondria in our bodies, and each one contains 17,000 little assembly lines for making ATP.
Why are these little energy factories so important to your health? The answer is simple: Mitochondria are the place where metabolism happens.
When your mitochondria aren't working properly, your metabolism runs less efficiently, or can practically shut down. Problems occur because these powerful energy producers are VERY sensitive to damage. And, when they are damaged, you suffer all the symptoms of low energy — fatigue, memory loss, pain, rapid aging and more.
Fatigue is the most common symptom of poorly functioning mitochondria, and it is the reason we tend to poop out as we age. We add constant insult and injury to our mitochondria, and this causes them to break down and stop producing energy.
The main way your mitochondria are damaged is by uncontrolled oxidative stress. That may sound complicated but, in reality, we are all familiar with "oxidative stress," even if some of us don't know what the term means.
Oxidation is the rust on our cars, the brown color that appears on an apple when cut and exposed to air, the rancid vegetable oil in our cupboards, even the wrinkles that form on our skin. What most of us don't realize is that our own tissues are rusting, our own fats are going rancid and our brains are melting as we go about our daily life.
What starts this process is some insult — too many calories, smoking, a sunburn, exposure to toxins, anti-nutrients, sugar and more — that tips the balance, starting a chain reaction of cellular and tissue damage that leads us down the long road to weight gain and chronic illness.
The ultimate outcome of oxidative stress, and the resultant loss of energy, is death! But, the good news is that we can counteract the damage by giving ourselves a metabolic tune-up.
8 tips for giving yourself a metabolic tune-up
The first step to giving yourself a metabolic tune-up is locating and eliminating the causes of damage to the mitochondria:
- Eat less processed food, junk food, sugar and empty calories. In fact, you should really avoid these things altogether.
- Detoxify by getting rid of environmental and internal toxins.
- Cool off the inflammation in your body.
- Balance your hormones.
Once you've done that, you need to boost your mitochondrial function and provide the mitochondria with the correct environment to thrive:
- Try interval training — which increases the efficiency and function of your mitochondria — and strength training, which increases the amount of muscle and the number of mitochondria.
- Eat whole, real, colorful plant food. That's eight to 12 servings of fresh vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds and whole grains every day. These foods are full of antioxidants and phytonutrients.
- Take mitochondria-protective and energy-boosting nutrients such as acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, N-acetyl-cysteine, NADH, D-ribose, resveratrol and magnesium aspartate.
- Increase your intake of omega-3 fats to help build your mitochondrial membranes.
Taking care of your mitochondria and giving yourself a metabolic tune-up will allow you to increase your energy, lose weight and age well. It is a cornerstone of creating lifelong vibrant health.
To your good health,
Mark Hyman, M.D.

South of the Hamptons: Works by Photographer Chip Cooper at Avram Gallery
Reception to be Held on July 24th for Celebrated Writers Conference Official Photographer
Patricia Conway
(631) 287 8313
Fax: (631) 283 4081
From the coastal regions of the Carolinas to the bayous of Louisiana, Chip Cooper's photographs capture the untouched beauty of southern landscapes. He will bring his distinct artistic perspective with him to his one-man exhibit "South of the Hamptons" at Southampton College's Avram Gallery. The show opens on Tuesday, July 1 and runs through August 1.
Cooper, who serves as the official photographer for the Southampton College Writers Conference, has two published books of photographs; "Common Threads" a collaboration with writer Kathryn Tucker Windham and "Silent in the Land" a unique and historical depiction of southern architecture that serves as a guide to houses as diverse as simple dogtrots to elegant Georgian mansions. In "Common Threads" Cooper and his camera document the presence of an older South, complete with photos of flowering trees, churches, cemeteries and front porches while Windham's writings are mostly charming recollections of the small town south.
A native of Savannah, GA, Cooper is the Director of Photography at The University of Alabama as well as being a freelance photographer. He earned a B.A. from the University of Alabama in 1972 and did post-graduate work in photography there until 1973. At last summer's Southampton College Writers Conference, his camera captured the essence of the program's experience with up-close shots of literary luminaries Frank McCourt, Billy Collins, Margaret Atwood, Roger Rosenblatt, Matthew Klam and other conference participants.
A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, July 24th from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. The gallery is open weekdays from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. or by appointment. Call Director Beth Giles for more information (631)287-8234.
