Hey Run To the Finish readers! My name is Heather, the author of For the Love of Kale. I'm so excited and honored that Amanda asked me to be a part of this vegan challenge! (Excited to have you!)
My blog follows my vegan eats as a nutrition/journalism student, booty-kicking workouts and my positive outlook on life. It also covers topics including vegan nutrition, body image and self-love and activism. Ultimately, I want to continue creating a positive, fun community that inspires others to love themselves and their bodies by incorporating plant-based foods, kick-butt workouts and self-love into their daily lives!
People often ask how I manage to maintain my vegan lifestyle on campus – and it's actually quite easy! Recently, my school has opened up a new "Farm to Table" station, which offers exclusive vegan options, at every meal so I've been really fortunate to benefit from that every day. However, for the past three years, that hasn't always been the case. I've managed to eat all three meals out of my dorm room!
Here's a peak into my daily eats:
Breakfast – At school:
Vega chocolate protein pudding oats: I work out first thing every morning, so I like to make my post-workout breakfast high in protein and adequate in carbohydrate. My go-to obsession right now is combining 1 scoop Vega chocolate protein performance, 4 Tbsp. oats and ¾ cup almond milk. It makes the most delicious, pudding-like bowl of oats (hence the name!). I served it up with fruit and black coffee. It's my fave and keeps me satisfied for hours!
Breakfast at home:
Smoky Tofu Scramble: When I have the luxury of kitchen appliances at my fingertips, I love to whip up a tofu scramble. (Note: ALWAYS CHOOSE ORGANIC TOFU! If tofu is not labeled organic, it most likely contains GMOs.) Pictured here is my smoky tofu scramble! So delicious and satisfying.
Lunch At school:
Giant Salad: I have a salad for lunch every day. Not because I'm weird (okay, maybe I'm weird) but because I genuinely crave salads. My salads are always three things: gigantic, packed with nutrients and super satisfying. Pictured above is a salad containing: kale, broccoli, baby carrots, smoked sun dried tomatoes, tempeh, nutritional yeast and Annie's papaya poppyseed dressing. Also a slightly diseased-looking but insanely delicious ½ of a sweet potato.
*Note: Prep work is KEY! I go home every weekend. While I'm home, I prep a bunch of things to have on hand for the following week. In this case, the tempeh and sweet potato were pre-made so all I had to do was grab them out of the fridge!
Lunch At home:
Superfood Salad with Tempeh Gomasio: The same deal happens at home – I always have a salad! I love finding new ways to use the same ingredients. Take the tempeh, for example. Above, I used it in a savory way. Here, I'm using it in a sweet way. Both are meal-sized and delicious! Click here for the recipe!
Dinner: At school:
As I mentioned above, I've recently been able to benefit from my school's launch of "Farm to Table," a station of exclusively vegan meals available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's pretty awesome! Pictured here is a sesame-pecan pattie with tomato compote, sautéed spinach with garlic and cumin and agave-glazed carrots. This was one of the best meals I've ever eaten here on campus. The pattie was a total home run!
Snacks: My snacks vary on a daily basis but here are a few that have become staples of mine:
Bars can be great and bars can be "meh," depending on their nutritional profile and staying power. I love to eat Vega Sport bars (mocha is my favorite) and Vega Vibrancy bars (chocolate is my fave!), LUNA bars and KIND bars. LARABARs are also a favorite of mine but they don't really tide be over, so I prefer to eat them with a salad for a meal.
This is one of my favorite snacks to have to tide me over until lunch. I spread one slice of Ezekiel bread with Sunflower seed butter, top it with banana slices and sprinkle it with cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Mmmm mmm good!
This is my snack of choice while studying. The combination of fiber and protein from the hummus and veggies leaves me feeling satisfied and…well…it's hummus! I love to serve it up with a cup of rooibos tea.
*In addition to meals and snacks, I make sure to take a Calcium + vitamin D supplement. We produce vitamin D from the sun (through our skin) but it isn't always sunny out, right? While I'm not one to tout supplements left and right, I do find it beneficial for us to consume a calcium plus vitamin D supplement every day because of the limited amount of sun exposure we have. I recommend purchasing a 600 mg Calcium supplement with at least 200 IU vitamin D to ensure your calcium is getting efficiently absorbed and that you're getting enough vitamin D for the day. Food-wise, we can supplement with almond milk, which typically offers 30% calcium and 25% vitamin D per 1 cup serving, and LUNA bars are also fortified with both nutrients. For more vegan, calcium-rich foods, click here!
I hope this has helped you see that transitioning to a vegan lifestyle is so rewarding (and yummy!). It also takes a lot of planning, but the pay-off is so worth it. I have so much energy and am so grateful every day of my life to be rockin' the greatest lifestyle on the planet! For a complete round-up of vegan recipes, you can visit my recipage.
Stay lovely,

I am so grateful for enthusiastic people that make a challenge seem more fun than scary!

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of engine maker China Yuchai International Limited (NYSE: CYD ) jumped as much as 11% today after the company released earnings.
So what: Net revenue jumped 21.6% in the third quarter to $608.7 million and operating profit increased 17.4% to $41.1 million for earnings per share of $0.46. The only analyst covering the company predicted $549.8 million in revenue and earnings of $0.42 per share.
Now what: Deisel engine sales were up a strong 21.5% in the quarter and truck sales were up as customers stocked inventory. Meanwhile, higher SG&A expenses ate up potentially higher profit in the quarter. China Yuchai's performance has been all over the map in recent quarters and while this quarter might be good the next might now if truck inventory doesn't sell though. Personally, I'll sit out the pop today, because of that inconsistency and my hesitance to buy China-based companies that have a bad history on U.S. markets.
A top stock for this year
I may be avoiding this stock, but there are still good buys on the market.

Good thread dude. Even though I am good and I didn't need this it can help many people that are blaming the game because they suck and they don't know it. Good job.
I've thought about it and it seems like a lot people on MoH just aren't good FPS players.
They don't have what me and my friend coined that "FPS sense." It just seems like a lot of people on MoH don't understand some of the basic strategies of FPS games. So if you find yourself sucking the big one at MoH....here are some hints.
1: You know how people bitch about having to shoot people 500 times? well when you empty your clip, hit right, and you can usually finish them off quickly with your pistol....the problem is that by time you reload the enemy has regenerated some of their health. so don't give them the chance.
2: Another thing is knowing when to run and hide.....if you're running up to a group of 4 enemies in a game that takes a lot of bullets to kill....you're gonna die. fall back, find a corner, crouch, and call for backup. If you get a good position on your enemy, and take cover to reload, you may be able to take out at least 2 if not all 4 of them.
3: If you've just killed a sniper on a small map ( this comes to mind a lot on CTF Village) DON'T STAY WHERE YOU ARE! You know how when you die the camera goes right to who killed you? Yeah, so now a sniper knows EXACTLY where you are, on a very small map. And in about 10 seconds you can bet his scopes are gonna be right on you. MOVE!
4: Grenades. Know when to use grenades, and when not to.
Do use when you're behind cover and the enemy is in a narrow path. shoot to lead him to you, light underhand toss, hide behind a box, and let him run right into it.
Don't use: when you haven't looked where it's going.....sure there may be an enemy, but there may also be 3 teammates (this happesn too much on sewers)
5: HELP YOUR TEAM. I was playing sewers, I was under the grates and in a gun fight.....my teammate stood and watched from the other side until I died. He then threw a grenade and killed my killer.....don't do that. get your rifle and help your teammates
All of this stuff seems common sence when you think about it....but you would be surprised how may people just suck.....and it hinders the team sometimes.
It's 4 am....I have no classes tomorrow, and I'm bored. So i figured I would spend some time on this. Hope it helps someone.

Good threat! I heard a lot of complaints and I was thinking that in fact a lot of "console" players lack the fps sense. Maybe they can finish a singleplayer fps games but online requires different play styles.
Also they just press and hold B it seems.
Tip of the day:
A big mistake a lot of you make is that wiiware games will be free.
Wiiware is just the same like the virtual console. Its different in that it offers new games instead of old console games.
I can think of some easy games ( Like tetris and some other in that direction ) that can be free but the majority will cost money.

Thatcher's Privatizations Cast a Long Shadow
LONDON— Margaret Thatcher, who died Monday, reshaped modern Britain by selling state-owned companies into private hands, paving the way for a spate of such dispositions around Europe and the world that continues, even here, three decades later.
Today, the U.K. government, strapped for cash just as Mrs. Thatcher's government was when she became prime minister in 1979, has tacked the for-sale sign to the door. Royal Mail is on the block, and last month a Houston-based company won a contract to fly helicopter search-and-rescue missions that are now the province of the military.
When Mrs. Thatcher became prime minister in 1979, the government had its hands deep in the economy. It owned the utilities, as well as a portfolio of companies that had fallen on hard times and been rescued by nationalization.
Privatization was a main ingredient on her platter of economic policies, sharing space with budget cuts and a commitment to subduing inflation. Mrs. Thatcher sold the state airline, the state oil company, the state ports, the state steel producer, the state telephone operator, the water utilities, the gas utility. She sold shipyards and shipbuilders. She sold Jaguar and Rolls-Royce, industrial basket cases with premium products.
Privatization wasn't part of her Conservative Party's election manifesto, and Mrs. Thatcher was initially cautious about its political cost, said David Parker, an emeritus professor at Cranfield University who wrote a two-volume official history of British privatization. (She hated the word, Prof. Parker said, preferring "denationalization.")
But Britain was broke. The program was conceived "in a desperate search for money," said Prof. Parker.
Margaret Thatcher: Iron Lady
Highlights in Margaret Thatcher's life.
While the U.K. was fast out of the starting block in the race to privatize, other European nations have sped along.
Germany and the Netherlands, for instance, have privatized their postal services ahead of Britain. And the U.K. took a step back during the financial crisis by taking major stakes in Lloyds Banking Group LYG 2.05 % PLC and Royal Bank of Scotland RBS 1.74 % PLC. The government intends, eventually, to sell them but hasn't begun an offering.
Britain's program started small. The government sold bits of British Petroleum, BP 3.66 % now BP PLC, in late 1979, then British Aerospace BAESY 1.43 % and Cable & Wireless in 1981. In 1982, the government solved a key problem, said Prof. Parker, by selling nuclear company Amersham International but retaining a special share to ensure control.
The next landmark was British Telecom BT 1.45 % in 1984, which was the biggest public offering ever at the time, Prof. Parker said. To boost demand for shares, the Thatcher government sold them en masse to retail investors. They were wildly popular—and ultimately delivered handsome returns. The public participation helped to bolster popularity."There was no political loss of capital," Prof. Parker said.
Shrinking the State
Some significant privatizations under Margaret Thatcher
- 1982 Amersham International: nuclear-medicine company, £63 million
- 1984 British Telecom: £3.9 billion
- 1986 British Gas: £5.6 billion
- 1987 British Airways: £900 million
- 1987 Rolls-Royce: £1.4 billion
Source: Privatization: An Economic Analysis by John Vickers & George Yarrow
Mrs. Thatcher also used free share grants to employees to weaken the opposition of unions, her arch-nemeses. British Gas, a £5.6 billion offering ($8.6 billion at today's conversion rate) in 1986 was accompanied by an advertising blitz.
Privatizations weren't well received by everyone, and there was criticism that Mrs. Thatcher was selling state jewels at bargain prices, depriving the treasury of funds and rewarding speculators.
Prof. Parker said the privatizations were by and large successful—though not all were winners. Privatization could make solid public companies more efficient—especially by permitting higher capital investment than the treasury would tolerate—but it was less successful at rescuing failures. Britain's shipbuilding industry, for instance, was privatized and eventually mostly lost.
Still, the lure of privatization was so strong it continued under Mrs. Thatcher's successor, John Major, who privatized electric utilities and the railroads. "Once the spell had been broken, nobody wanted to go back to a situation where these industries were directly run by the state," said Andrew Gamble, a professor of politics at the University of Cambridge.
Despite Mrs. Thatcher's fervor for markets, she never dismantled perhaps the biggest public institution: Britain's National Health Service, the most extensive government health-care system in Europe.

Thunder (55-20, 22-15 road) at Pacers (48-27, 29-8 home)
TV: FS Oklahoma
Stream: Click here
Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1 FM, 640 AM, 97.1 FM Tulsa)
Time: 7:00 CT
Offensive Rating: Thunder – 112.3 (2nd), Pacers– 104.6 (19th)
Defensive Rating: Thunder – 102.6 (5th), Pacers – 98.9 (1st)
Pace: Thunder – 93.6 (8th), Pacers – 90.1 (25th)
View from the enemy: 8 Points, 9 Seconds
Considering the circumstances, this might just be the Thunder's most challenging game of the season. Just some 20 hours ago, they were putting the finishing touches on a big win against the Spurs. Then they hopped on a plane, lost an hour crossing timezones and ended up in Indianapolis around 4 a.m And to make it all that much more difficult, they're playing the rugged Pacers, maybe the toughest most physical team in the league.
The Thunder put in a great effort last night to secure their destiny for the top seed in the West, which is great, but it just means they could hand that destiny back to the Spurs tonight. It's a really tough test for OKC, and one that I think they're actually up for. KD played 45 minutes last night and they obviously sunk a lot into winning that game, but these guys just had four days off and heavy legs really haven't ever been a big problem in the past.
Indiana coming in: Took down the Clippers on Monday in LA.
Three Big Things
1. O vs D. The Pacers have the best defense in basketball. And the Thunder's offense is top two. So that's a pretty monumental clash of advanced statistics.
2. Interior. The Pacers are big inside with Roy Hibbert and David West, and really try to hammer people down low. The Thunder aren't to shabby with their bigs, but it'll be a test for Serge Ibaka. He's got to match the physicality of the Pacers, but stay within himself and not get too carried away. Bottle the intensity, and play big, literally.
3. Kevin Martin. He failed to show up against the Spurs, and I doubt think we can count on Derek Fisher bailing him out again. He needs to contribute, he needs to score. Get in an aggressive rhythm early, attack the rim some and take smart shots.
Tip at 7:00 CT. Go Rumbles.

Universities and colleges have jumped at the chance to boost their finances by taking international students from London Metropolitan University.
At least four higher education institutions moved to offer places to students facing deportation after the Government stripped the university of its right to teach non-EU foreigners.
They acted as the Government sought to calm deportation fears among students and reassure foreigners of the viability of Britain's universities and colleges. The UK Border Agency (UKBA) has decided that it will take no steps to remove any LMU student for at least a month. Only then will the agency send "curtailment

Coolest UI remake! http://kodingen.com
How about designing your next UI on a platform that developers love ?
We created Kodingen for developers and we are getting it ready for the next release that YOU will style..
We are not the biggest company nor a well funded startup that thinks it will change the world; we are just doing something good by giving away free hosting accounts/cloud development environments to everyone in the world. And with the awesome feedback we get everyday, we are definitely having a lot of fun doing it.
As 3 engineers (this is our whole team) we are really good in what we are doing, and you must be equally good in jquery, css and html. On your computer Photoshop opens at startup. If you are an uber-awesome designer, you can draw your imaginary characters on paper or can do 3d stuff; you may lack some jquery skills – that's ok. We kind of have a tendency to hire Mac people – but hey you never know.
Please go and sign up for Kodingen – if you like the idea, if you like what we are doing and if you feel like you can beat the current UI and be a part of our team, please send us your personal site, some of the html+css showpieces and your resume. We don't care about the resume so much but it's still good to look at. We also don't care about where you are as long as you are always on skype.
And please please have a clear understanding of depth, perspective and lighting and demonstrate this on your application. This can be a website, an illustration, a logo design or something you drew when you were at the college. This is the most important aspect. We definitely can work forever if 1 pixel shadows are very very important to you.
Ready? Alright! We are very excited hear from you!
So who exactly we are looking for:

Well, Morristown has certainly proven its abilities from top to bottom this season.
But the club faces another test on Monday (Jan. 23) when it plays against Morristown-Beard, No. 3 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, at 6:30 at Mennen Arena in Morris Township.
Morristown, ranked seventh in the poll, looks to extend its winning streak to three games. Indeed, Morristown has lost once (2-1 to No. 4 Randolph on Jan. 9) in its last 10 contests (9-1); and it can't look ahead either as it faces a surging and 11th-ranked Ridge next on Jan. 28 at Bridgewater Sports Arena.
Morristown coach Bobby Jones steered the team to a 8-13-2 finish a year ago and has guided the mostly underclass squad consistently this winter.
Zach Mourad leads Morristown (12-3) with 20 goals while Jordan Klotz has 14 goals, Tommy Donofrio has 12 and Brian Begley has scored eight. At the other end is impressive Shane Brown in net. Morristown's other losses have come against Mendham (2-1 on Dec. 3) and Morris Knolls (5-2 on Dec. 12).
Can Morristown continue that momentum and catch Morristown-Beard off guard? Don't count on that.
Morristown-Beard (7-3-4) is coming off a hard-fought 4-3 loss to No. 5 Morris Knolls on Friday (Jan. 20). Coach Randy Velischek will have his club prepared.
The Crimson has impressive victories over Kinnelon (3-1 on Jan. 7), Chatham (5-0 on Jan. 14), St. Augustine (3-1 on Jan. 13) and Pingry (6-2 on Dec. 28). Morristown-Beard has also tied Randolph and Chatham, and lost 2-1 to top-ranked Delbarton on Jan. 3.
Peter Alevras has been superb in goal for the Crimson while Tom DePoalo has provided consistent scoring.
The Halvorsen's best club in Morristown going toe to toe with Mennen power Beard. Should be a good one.

On Monday night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," pint sized reality star Alana Thompson — aka Honey Boo Boo — officially endorsed President Obama.
Upon learning from Kimmel that Republican nominee Mitt Romney said he was more of a Snooki fan (when he appeared on ABC's "Live with Kelly and Michael") the 7 year-old breakout star of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" said she was all for "Marak Obama."
The lil' gal had a rough time keeping still on the couch. Looking extremely bored as Kimmel chatted with mom June Shannon about her charity endeavors, Honey Boo Boo took to mugging at herself at an off-camera TV, sticking her whole hand in Kimmel's water and screaming at the top of her lungs, "You better REDNECK-ognize!" to thunderous applause from the audience.
"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" has been a ratings smash for TLC. It recently ended an eight-week run on the cable network in September, snagging 2.8 million viewers.

Then, word of his money spreads to the El Fronteras underworld. Under sudden attack from corrupt cops, gangsters, and desperados, the Man must push back his retirement plans, lock and load, and save sleepy El Fronteras through a dizzying display of spectacular gunfights. EL GRINGO is directed by Eduardo Rodriguez (Stash House) and written by Jonathan W. Stokes.

There are currently more than 180 filter element suppliers in business producing cheap imitations of well-established manufacturers like Schroeder. Far too often, customers make purchasing decisions based solely on price, only to be extremely disappointed with the poor quality delivered by low cost imitations. To make the matter worse, the customer often points an accusing finger at the filter housing manufacturer for poor performance, rather than the inadequate element they used as a replacement for the original Schroeder element.
GeoSeal® is a patented offering from Schroeder that provides a unique way for OEM's to retain replacement element business and to keep a filter's performance at the level that it was supplied. The idea is brilliantly simple: the critical sealing arrangement between a filter housing and its replacement element takes on a shape other than the standard circular arrangement. Specifically, the element grommet and mating bushing are given a new geometric shape. The below images show the initial configuration being used.
Left: Filter element with GeoSeal grommet.
Right: Filter housing (cut-away) with GeoSeal grommet bushing.

Planned giving is wonderful way to ensure that your gifts care for Thornwell's children for generations to come! Should you choose to do so, there are a number of gift instruments that can be easily incorporated into your estate plan. And when you make a provision in your estate, you become a member of the William Plumer and Mary Dillard Jacobs Society.
A bequest can be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate as designated by your will.
Gifts of Real Estate
Your home, farm, or vacation home may have appreciated greatly over time. Consider a gift of real estate to Thornwell and help avoid capital gains. To ensure appropriate transfer, the real estate must be mortgage-free and readily saleable. It must also have clear title and a recent qualified appraisal.
Thornwell will be glad to assist you and your tax advisers. Please call Rev. Elliot Smith at 864-938-2733 or email email@example.com if you'd like to discuss this special type of gift.
Life Insurance
There are many types of life insurance gifts. The most common is an existing policy (currently in force and paid up), naming Thornwell owner and beneficiary. The benefits to you are in both gift and estate tax considerations. Federal tax regulations indicate that the gift value of an insurance policy is the cash value of the policy at the time of the transfer of ownership.
Other life insurance arrangements might be purchasing a new policy for Thornwell or replacing charitable gifts in one's estate.
Charitable Gift Annuities
Cash or appreciated securities can be used to fund an irrevocable gift annuity that can provide income to you while making an ultimate gift to Thornwell. The rate of return is determined by your age, the number of beneficiaries, and the prevailing adjusted federal rate for gift annuities. After the lifetime of the annuitant(s), the charitable remainder interest in the gift becomes available to Thornwell. A minimum gift of $10,000 is required.
Annuity Trusts
A charitable remainder annuity trust is an irrevocable trust that provides a payment to one or more beneficiaries for their lifetimes or a term of years. The trust provides a fixed annuity payment, determined when you establish the trust. It must be at least 5% of the initial value of the gift. Payments can be made annually or more frequently. When the trust terminates, the remaining principal becomes available for the work and ministry of Thornwell. A minimum gift of $200,000 is required.
A charitable remainder unitrust is an irrevocable trust that provides variable payments to one or more beneficiaries for their lifetimes or a term of years. The trust payments are determined as a fixed percentage (at least 5%) of the fair market value of the trust assets each year. You select the percentage when you make your original gift; however, since trust assets are revalued each year, trust payments will vary from year to year—increasing or decreasing as a result of additional contributions or changes in the value of trust assets. When the trust terminates, the remaining principal becomes available to Thornwell. A minimum gift of $200,000 is required, and additional contributions can be made to the trust.
Gifts of Securities
When you donate securities in lieu of cash, you get two advantages: you don't have to pay any capital gains tax on the appreciation and, on the date of your gift, you will receive a deduction for their full market value.
The easiest way to make a gift of securities to Thornwell is by electronic transfer from your brokerage account. Shares will be electronically transferred, and your gift date will be the date the shares enter our Thornwell account. The value of your gift will be determined by the average market value of the securities on the date of transfer.

Media Release: Children's visit to Augrabies brightened up
Date: 2013-10-30
As part of their policy of involvement in smaller parks the Virtual Region of the SANParks Honorary Rangers, decided to help a project called Far Schools. This project takes kids from outlying communities in the Northern Cape into Augrabies Falls National Park.
Visiting schools receive an educational programme which is adapted to their needs and the grades in question. This involves a detailed presentation about all aspects of the park: the waterfall, wildlife, plants & trees, People & Conservation and tourism.
Due to the nature of the arid region it is also very important for children to realize that water is a precious resource which cannot be wasted. Teaching them how to conserve water and letting them come up with ways in which they can decrease their water use is an important part of environmental education at Augrabies Falls. For most of these children the whole thing is a first - first time most of them have ever left their community, first time in a wilderness area, first time camping. This year the SANParks Honorary Rangers heeded a plea from Christine du Plessis, People & Conservation Officer at Augrabies Falls National Park, that they needed some lanterns so that the kids can walk safely from their tents to the ablutions and back.
The Honorary Rangers sourced and supplied 20 lanterns to Augrabies Falls National Park. These lanterns provide a bright light output and include solar panel as well as 220v and crank handle charging and are also robust enough to cope with teenagers and the extremes of the Arid Region. The lanterns have already been on a successful trial run with a group of 50 kids from two schools. For more information visit www.sanparksvolunteers.org.
Some of the children enjoying a night time visit to the Augrabies falls with the lamps lighting their way.
