Roll Call!
Edit. The following intro is a bit old. I unfortunately ended my long term relationship after nearly ten years. Just couldn't be worked out. I got the house and the dogs and am relatively happy now. I finished my online RN to BSN program and am a genuine college graduate at the age of 48!!! Woot!
Edit #2 - I finally reached the ripe old age of 50 and am feeling fabulous! I always get the "you don't look 50" thing, and I attribute that to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
I deleted my Myspace page. I do have Facebook and love to have vegwebbers for friends. You can private message me and I'll give you my name. Or you can find me on the vegweb fan page.
Edit #3 - Finally went vegan. The last couple of years, I've been slowly getting there, replacing household and personal products with vegan items such as vegan soaps, candles, cleaners. I've bought vegan shoes, belts and wallets. I'm loving it! Decided to let my hair go naturally grey instead of coloring it so I don't get the "you don't look 50" thing as much anymore. LOL I now have a desk job in the admit-transfer center and hate it hate it hate. I just can't be stuck behind a desk, and I'm the lookout for something else.
Edit #4 - Found a position at the hospital I currnetly work on an ortho floor. I think I'll like returning to the bedside and not a desk job. w00t
It's been a while and I thought it might be nice to for everyone who posts here to tell a little about yourself. I took a little sabbatical from this site (went back to eating meat for two years..........bleech), but lurked from time to time, but have been a part of this site for gee, can it be 8 or more years???? But I don't know a lot of you.
I am a nurse. I am a male. (yes, a person who will remain nameless called me a "she".) I am gay. I've been in a monogamous relationship for the last nine years with a great guy who now travels a lot. I was an ovo-lacto veg*n for about 12 years before slipping, I plead insanity.
I'm currently in an online program to go from an ADN RN to BSN RN and hope to finally graduate from college at the age of 48 next year.
I have a very boring blog here: http://allnurses.com/forums/journal.php?do=showjournal&j=13
You're turn. Tell me your business!
Hi. I am ovo-lacto vegetarian but trying to become vegan. I live in Slidell, LA (approx 40 miles from N.O.). I was born and raised in New Orleans. I am 30 something. :-X I am married with two boys ages 14 and 10 and raising one nephew who is 18. The four legged members of my family include a dog and two ferrets. My boys are ovo-lacto vegetarians. My husband and my nephew eat meat but they will eat vegetarian foods and my husband will also cook vegetarian dishes. I started on the path to becoming vegetarian in the 8th grade; by the middle of my ninth grade year I became a vegetarian. My volunteering at the S.P.C.A. is what made me become vegetarian. I am a nurse(I should have been a veterinarian) with my ADN. I work as a nurse clinician for a Neurosurgery Clinic. I just registered for school to do the Bridge program to MSN and then the Adult Nurse Practitioner Program. I will graduate in 2011. I have been on this site for awhile now but have come to appreciate it even more in these past few months. The recipes are really helping me in my effort to become vegan. Reading the Q&A section is also very helpful. When I am not working and raising kids I love to travel with my husband. One of my favorite past times is scuba diving. It was so nice seeing lobsters in their own natural habitat instead of in a grocery store. Well I'm on a tangent. I really appreciate reading everyones opinions and great recipes.
What a fun topic! I have really enjoyed reading about and getting to "know" you all.
My name is Crystal. I was a vegetarian for 10 years when I was "growing up" (about 9 years old to 19 years old). My brother raised a pig for 4H to be sold for meat at our local fair. Her name was Snuggles and she was so cute. After school, my brother and I would race home to hang out with her. We would lay our heads on her belly and give her lots of scratches behind her ears. If we got up to go somewhere, she would follow us. We would take her on walks down the street and she never left our side. My parents decided that instead of selling her at the fair, they would have her slaughtered for their own consumption. When I found out that Snuggles dead body was in our freezer, I was devastated. I cried for a long time and my parents tried to explain to me that animals are raised for food, blah blah blah. I couldn't eat meat anymore after that. I was even afraid to go into the garage where the extra freezer that held Snuggles body was kept!! I lived in a very supportive family and my mom cooked vegetarian meals especially for me. Once I moved out and went to college, I lost sight of why I was a vegetarian in the first place and started eating chicken and fish.
In March of 2006 I read Diet for a New America by John Robbins and before I could even finish the book I made a resolution to become vegan. When I told my husband about it he was a little hesitant (he loves cheese) but after sharing some passages from DfaNA, he was just as convinced as I am that veganism is the right way for us to live our lives. I am 27 and am choosing not to have children. Instead my husband and I have a cat and an adopted retired racing greyhound. We both pretty much grew up in California but in August 2005 we took a 3 week driving tour of the Southern United States. We decided to sale our home in California and move to Tennessee so we could be semi-retired and live a simpler, more rewarding life. I am passionate about healthy living, vegan & organic food, animal rights, and protecting the environment. I enjoy reading, hiking, biking, traveling, gardening, and cooking.
noticed some new people here and wanted to say welcome and join in! :D
I guess I never officially introduced myself. (Just went on random commenting rampages.) So, that's being said...
I'm Beth, I live in Missouri, and I attend the University of MO-Columbia. (Mizzou.) I've been vegetarian for about 2.5 years, and vegan for 1.5. Becoming vegan probably saved my life, because I chose to make the switch after a rocky, lengthy battle with anorexia. As I recovered, it was helpful to know the little food that I was eating was ultimately the best stuff I could get my hands on, and that I didn't need to feel guilty about any of it. So, gradually, my cooking got better, I ate more of it, and I began feeling a lot better about life in general.
That being said, now I'm a bit of a Nutrition-dork; I'm a wealth of rather random knowledge regarding anything from amino acids to zinc-absorbtion, and I'll share it with anyone who sits still long enough to listen.
I have a billion pets, and love them all. My cat ate my bird while I was away at college, and I was quite devastated... but, I suppose that's how nature works sometimes.
I love pumpkin in any format, most notably the ones that aren't pie, (though those are good too), and I'd probably briefly consider putting red pepper flakes on breakfast cereal, because they go onto pretty much all of the rest of my food. In addition to my rather high heat tolerance, I'm also pretty into sour things. Oh, and nut butters. Especially almond.
Well, that's me! Hullo everyone!
I am fairly new to vegweb; about a year ago my husband (Will) started contributing some very tasty and unusual recipes to our repertoire and I found out his secret. He'd been lurking here for quite some time.
I am a 32 yo interior designer in North Carolina. Will is a cabinet maker and we own our own design studio. We are very involved in green building practices and try to practice sustainability as much as our culture allows. This is not such an easy task. We have the most perfect yellow lab and two cats who hate each other, but they seem to like us.
I experimented with vegetarianism in middle and high school, with only marginal support. I realized as an adult, that my mother's inability to support that decision stemmed from a total lack of understanding of nutrition, not from any desire to see her daughter eat animals. So for my part, it just took education and time. I have been a vegetarian for 10 years and have considered myself vegan at various points throughout those years.
When Will and I met, he was omni, but had been a very strict vegan for seven years prior to that, so there wasn't much converting to do. Although, his idea of eating vegan was pretty much limited to salads and french fries.
We love to cook and are HIGHLY experimental. Even when we make the same meal twice, it is never really the same. I should probably spend some time documenting the "successes", to help avoid "failures," but that would take the mystery out of it, wouldn't it?
I am very close to my family and there are a whole bunch of us. Think Brady Bunch from hell. My parents and grandparents have married and re-married so many times, I had nine (9) legitimate mother's day cards to send out this year (sounds funny, not a joke).
I have an acerbic sense of humor and try very very hard not to offend people (perils of being raised by a night-shift ER nurse and bartending my way through grad school); please don't be afraid to call me on it if I seem insensitive or rude. I probably really thought it was funny ;D.
My name is Brooke and I'm from Wellington, New Zealand.
I'm 20, female and have been vegan for 5 or 6 years, and vegetarian for a year before that.
I actually found VegWeb via my omni boyfriend. He set up an RSS feed to his inbox and I only found out months later. Earlier there was a post about omni partners and while I agree that at times it really is difficult, I know how hard he works to make me happy and how much it hurts him that his diet offends me so. We've found a happy middle ground; he tastes food for me if it's suspicious, he never ate a lot of meet and tends to eat vegan meals with me, but he might have the occasional tuna toastie and eats meat when we go out. He doesn't mind me throwing away all the non-cruelty free household products and replacing his shampoo with cruelty free stuff.
Pretty much thats me. I'm a desperately in love actor-in-training.
And I love this site, it's definitely made dinner time much more interesting.
Hello everyone! I am a 20 year old vegetarian, former vegan. I was already taking iron supplements before I went vegan, and continued to take them during that time, but still became extremely iron deficient and so I brought back eggs and dairy into my diet (although no rennet and free-range eggs - I try to be as ethical as possible). I have been disinterested in meat all my life (by age 7 my family considered me to be vegetarian) but I have only been strict for the past 5 years. My family has become limited meat-eaters over the past few years, with tofu and beans on the table instead of meat practically every night. My dad made the switch to vegetarianism a few months ago. Like many of you, I am very knowledgable about nutrition and I don't hesitate to share the information (my boyfriend and some of his family members have given up veal since I told them what it is)! Researching vegetarianism over the years has turned me into a moderate health nut...
I am currently studying psychology at at a university in Ontario, Canada, and I hope to find out in a few months whether I will accepted to law school next year! (fingers crossed) I initially became interested in law via animal rights law, but my interests have expanded to environmental law and primarily health law.
I love Bob Marley, Dave Matthews, Gala apples, overnight camp, dancing, acrobatics, jogging, kickboxing, spending time in Muskoka, reading, and lately I have become a bit of a vegweb addict. I have lists of the recipes I am meaning to get around to (once exams are over...) On that note, back to the books!
Hi my name is Anthea and I have been veg for about 10 years. mmm lets see... I was given a pamphlet while I was cruising around the markets in Camden London on my 25th birthday (ops that makes it 9 years) and haven't eaten meat since. I always somehow knew I would be veg but needed a conviction I guess. Since turning veg I have become interested in nutrition and health nd believe that I have a much healthier and informed diet then when I ate meat. Was never a big fan of red meat so that was no big deal but I did find not eating eggs hard to adjust to. They are in sooo many things!
I am currently living in Japan and it it a major hassle to be veg. There are no meat alternatives in the supermarkets, restaurants don't have veg options and a can of chick peas cost $3. But I have learnt to deal with it. I'm going home after the new year and can't wait to have access to veg friendly stores, cafes and restaurants. I live with my Japanese boyfriend and he has become lacto-veg too. This is no mean feat for a person of this culture. Since becoming veg and meeting me and having to share the cooking (I'm such a slave driver) he has discovered that he loves cooking! How lucky am I?! I have also discovered the joys of cooking now that I am cooking for 2 and thats how I can across VegWeb. It's such a great site and I am becoming an addict.
So yeah thats about it. Back home to Oz next year, tossing up what to do. At the moment I'm thinking about a masters in art therapy, but am also interested in naturopathy and art. so who knows.
OK so thats all for now. A big hello to everyone :D and keep smiling
Tweety, what a great idea! And I enjoyed reading all of your bio (took me a long time, but it was fun :) )
My name is Ayaka. You may have guessed from my other postings, but I am Japanese. I am turning 24 very soon, yet I am still single 8) As far as the "orientation" goes, I am bisexual who is almost lesbian.
I came to the US in 2001, lived in the state of NY for 2.5 years, and moved to Michigan in 2004. I am a recent psychology graduate from Michigan State University, where I also completed the specialization program in African Studies.
Lacto-ovo veggie is how I categorize myself, but I prefer not to eat eggs and dairy. I don't drink cow's milk (I prefer soy and rice milk) nor eat regular cheese, but I eat stuffs that contains milk. Same story for eggs too. I don't like the idea of omlet and alike, but I do eat things that contain eggs. My diet and life style is close to vegan, though.
In addition, I am also crazy about natural food and organic. I hate buying things with endless list of ingredients (or chemicals). Also, as a child, I used to live close to a field where bok choys were grown, and my entire family was totally disgusted how they grow the vegetable. Afterward, my mother did some research and figured that it was not just bok choy, but pretty much any vegetables and fruits are grown in the same way. My mother describes this method as "pecklling with chemicals." ::)
I commited to become vegetarian on September 24th this year (I know it is very recent). However, I have always tried to stay away from meat as much as possible since when i was a kid. (There used to be a chicken farm next to my grandma's house, and it totally made me feel sad while I was a child) I had been a social omni for years. At home I was vegetarian, but when I went out, I used to eat meat and sea food. Socialization was the only reason why I stayed omni.
In terms of my food preference, I love "American" Japanese food, especially exotic sushi :D. Indian and Korean food is also my favorite. In addition, I also like West African food. West Africans (e.g. Ghanaian, Nigerian, etc) use a lot of fish and meat in their food, so I am stil experimenting with different kind of ingredients to replace these.
Kind of food I am good at cooking is Japanese food, curry, and West African food. Being Japanese, I am very knowledgeable about Japanese ingredients and cooking procedures. I have a lot of Japanese recipes in my head, but, too bad, I never measure things. That's the only reason I don't submit many recipes.
The purpose of my first visit to VegWeb was to search recipe for collard green. I didn't know what collard green was :o but I bought it anyway from a store. There are so many food in the US that I have never tried, but I am interested in trying these food with help of this Web.
Anyway, I am very very new to this site (registered on 10/29/06), but I already feel at home whenever I come here. People here are so sweet.
Thank you all to be here :D
My Myspace page is http://www.myspace.com/adwoa_ayaka
HI...I am a 26 y/o married woman with 2 babies (that's what I call them but one is 3 y/o and the other 16 months!) I have been a vegetarian for 5 years and am trying very hard to become a vegan. My youngest is vegetarian and my oldest loves meat. (Some people in my family think it's funny to give my babies meat when they watch them.) My husband is also a meat eater but recently read my copy of Skinny Bitch and was quite disgusted and asked if I could get him a copy of The Mad Cowboy. I am going back to school to become an RN. I love organic gardening and yoga! By the way I hail from southern Minnesota.
Greetings and salutations! My name is Holly, I'm a geologist, a pagan, 43, happily divorced, and mother of one daughter (14). I am still an omnivore, but thanks to this site, getting closer to vegetarianism everyday. I still eat seafood, but less and less frequently. We eat and live as organically as possible in this house, I'm in total agreement with Ayaka: "I hate buying things with endless lists of ingredients (or chemicals)".
I pour candles and make soaps and incense blends in my spare time. I grow my own herbs, tomatoes, beans, and hot peppers: all organically and all in containers. I'm a huge horror movie fan and I love classic rock. I'm also a cat person: I have four kitties indoors and I feed four strays outdoors, as well as a family of possums.
It's been a pleasure learning something about everyone.
i'm bringing this up again for new visitors.
Wow! I feel like I know you all now. Great thread.
About me. I am a almost married 32 y/o female (will be married in May). I've been with my boyfriend for 5 1/2 years (living with him for 5). I've been lacto-ovo veggie for 3 years. Just recently went vegan (and trying my damnest to stay that way) for health reasons. My boyfriend is a meat eater, but very supportive of my diet choices.
My hobbies include snowboarding (eventhough I hate winter ... go figure), music (I play drums), love to cook, and martial arts.
I have been lurking on VegWeb off and on since going veggie. I didn't sign up until after I went vegan. But I found so many wonderful recipes on here. My recipe box filled up quick! Thanks guys and gals!
Hi Everyone!
My name is Mazar.... Im a girl, im very strange, pansexual, likes comic books and action movies. I have not eaten meat since i was about 11 years old. My mother and grandmother are vegetarian, as well as my other grandparents (buddhists) are vegetarian. My father is a bow hunter and I am very familiar with all kinds of flesh (squirrel, boar, muskrat, marmet etc), but I decided one day I'd had enough and I couldnt see a difference between eating my dog or a cow or a deer from the woods. I dont have a problem with others eating meat, but when i see them do it it is like watchign someone eat a handful of sand! its not food! oh well :) I eat milk and eggs from my friends cows and chickens, but not often. I do not feel it necessary to take from animals, but i will accept what they give (hare krishna philosophy)
My favorite foods are coconut and carrots. I also am real hot on buckwheat kasha and I will try to convince all of you to eat it ! Im also wickedly addicted to all kinds of pickeled things and sour Russian foods. I really enjoy making things that seem dependent on meat vegan...like sausage gravy and biscuits.
I am a Professional Dominatrix (questions are okay hehe) by day, I also farm plants and I am preparing to go to school for Arabic language (hopefully one day to teach Americans to speak Arabic) I have spent much time traveling nomadically and living in-transience, now i live in a crooked little house filled with rabbits and dogs and plants (plus my lovely comrade, Yuri, famous for his "Ultra Gheto Ketchup Soup" as he calls it)
Other stuff: i really like death metal, italiano disco music, traditional gypsy music, comic books, getting tattoos, drawing pictures, and striped dogs.
Enough about me, lets hear about YOU!
I forgot to mention that ... Thanks Havenolegs. I do have a veggie garden, which is a vegetarians heaven (for me anyway).We have grown tomatoes, beans, garlic, cucumbers, peppers, bok Choy, ect. But the main veggies are tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans (oh now I can't wait until summer for a fresh cucumber and tomato salad from the garden 8) ).
As I mentioned, I love to cook. I am getting pretty good about taking any recipe (even ones with meat) and vegan'izing them. But if I get stuck, I always have VegWeb ;)
Havenolegs, I also love classic rock and some metal. But the older I get the less hard core metal I listen too.
Other stuff: i really like death metal, italiano disco music, traditional gypsy music, comic books, getting tattoos, drawing pictures, and striped dogs.
Hey, havenolegs, I'm a death metal and traditional gypsy music fan too!! Taraf De Haidouks is my new fave.
This is the first time I've seen this post, so I'll tell y'all a little about myself. I'm a native West Texan. My whole family is in the oil business, so that's why I'm a little sensitive when people talking bad about the oil business on here.
I myself am sort of a jill-of-all-trades. For a living I've done everything from sales to counseling. I'm pretty culturally diversified for a native west texan chick. I love asian food of all sorts. My taste in music is very broad too. I don't like the stuff they play on the radio for the most part. My favorite types of music are: Klezmer, traditional gypsy, Japanoise, noise rock, experimental, psychedelic, death metal, death ska, and good old rock n roll.
I also enjoy gardening. I have a flower and herb garden, and a vegetable garden. I'm all about organic gardening. I consider my compost as my baby. I also have 2 human kids and 4 animal kids. One dog and 3 cats.
My favorite days or overcast or rainy. We have an abundance of sunshine here (too much in my opinion), so I welcome dark dreary days. When I have time, I will post more pics on my profile. Hey, man, don't be shy folks!!! Talk to me....shoot me a message or whatever.
I'm vegan for environmental, health, and ethical reasons. I don't have a problem with human beings eating meat. For instance, I do not think native peoples who hunt their food now and in the past are/were immoral, unethical, or doing much harm to the environment or to their bodies (although humans have always had some effect on the environment—e.g. extinction of mega fauna in both North America and Australia may in part be due to over hunting by human hunter/gather societies many tens of thousands of years ago—but that's a tangent).
My problem with meat consumption is the modern industrial factory machine which affects how I think about health, ethics, and the environment. It could be argued the same is true for plant industrial agriculture (in terms of chemicals/animal-derived fertilizers, human rights issues, GMOs, patenting of seeds, flying food around the globe at enormous environmental and economical costs…list goes on and on) and there are always some "you're so hypocritical" arguments floating around in my head, but I have to eat something and short of going to live out in the wilderness I don't think its possible to live a perfectly environmentally-friendly, ethically-sound, and healthful life. You just do the best you can, and I respect anyone who self-examines their life and diet and chooses what is right for them. All or nothing arguments don't work for me.
I'm still reading the rest of this post, but I had to quote Hopfrog because I feel the same way.
I'm a vegetarian because I was disgusted by the meat industry. I was disgusted by people disrespecting their food, especially when that food came at the cost of a helpless creature's life.
I'm not entirely vegan, but I am concious about it. I understand that the dairy and eggs I eat in desserts is just indulgent junk.
Other than that, everything you need to know about me is in my profile. :) Nice to meet everyone!
hi everyone!
my name is frankie, which is short for francesca. i'm fifteen and i'm vegan and i became a vegan about a year ago. i love it! being vegan has made me appreciate food so much more, and i feel better about what i eat. i love animals, and that's one of the main reasons i went vegan. i refuse to participate in anything that would cause harm to animals. i also had been going through a lot of crap in my life. my parents were getting divorced, my mom was abusive and she decided to get an abusive boyfriend too. i had started cutting and i wasn't doing good. i've always had blood sugar problems, and that certainly doesn't help anything when you're depressed. my older sister is vegan, and she told me all about it, and i started cooking and experimenting. cooking really helped relieve stress and i felt a lot better. i read all this stuff about what they do to animals in those big dairy factories and the meat industry and everything, and i decided i didn't want to be apart of it. since i went vegan, i started feeling SOOO much better, and i felt like i was actually doing something that might vaguely help the animals in this world. it's a great feeling. being vegan rocks!
i'm a lesbian, and i've known pretty much my whole life. i've had one girlfriend, and we broke up a little while ago. relationships are overrated! sex is overrated! ha.
i want to be a photographer, or maybe a vet, or a vegan chef, or maybe a surgeon, or a movie director, or a writer... uh. i honestly have no idea what i'm going to do with my life, and that doesn't bother me. i like the uncertainty; it makes things exciting.
this is my favorite vegan website ever! everyone here is so open-minded and kind and the recipes are absolutely delicious.
this is an interesting board, it's fun to read. you guys are all really cool. 8)
Hi Tygrelover! Thank you for sharing so much about yourself. I am impressed by your honesty. I think you're cool too! 8)

Solid state drives are currently one of the most rapidly developing products of the computer market. This industry is on the rise due to its low entry barrier. You don't need heavy investments or extensive manufacturing facilities or a team of highly skilled engineers to start making your own SSDs. That's why there are a lot of companies – well-known storage systems manufacturers, flash memory makers and even DDR3 SDRAM suppliers – that have taken up this business to cater to enthusiastic users who are impressed at the huge advantage of SSDs over conventional HDDs in performance. Of course, SSDs are still too expensive to become a truly mass product, yet they have already become an indispensable component for computer enthusiasts.
It is no wonder that aggressive marketing and well-functioning distribution channels were the key factors to success for early SSD makers. Product specs were but of secondary importance, especially as there were few hardware platforms available for building SSDs (only a few teams of engineers took to developing SSD controllers since it was much more complicated than actual manufacturing). Using third-party controllers and flash memory, smaller players managed to compete with giants like Intel and Samsung for the leading positions on the SSD market.
This situation has begun to change, though. Having satisfied the first wave of demand for SSDs and saturated the market with identical products selling under different brands, the manufacturers now want to attract the potential customer with original products that can offer superior consumer properties. They do this in different ways like hiring a previously independent team of SSD controller developers, programming their own firmware or focusing on perspective hardware platforms that haven't yet been used on the mass market. The outcome can be seen on shop shelves in the form of innovative and original products such as Intel's SSD 520 and SSD 330, OCZ's Vertex 4 and Agility 4, Plextor's M5S and M5 Pro. We guess that every company who wants to have a substantial share of the SSD market will eventually have to offer something of this kind.
As you may have already guessed, we are going to talk about such innovative products in this review. These are Corsair's Neutron and Neuron GTX series which feature controllers from Link_A_Media_Devices (LAMD) that have not been installed into consumer-class SSDs until now. The new SSDs sport highly promising specs, so some experts have already hailed them as the best option available even before they have actually arrived. We won't make any guesses or predictions, though. Our job is to do some real testing and we've got this opportunity because Corsair has provided us 240GB Neutron and Neutron GTX drives.

Healthy looking skin isn't just a reality reserved for women. Male skin deserves the same love and attention as our feminine friends, but it doesn't get nearly enough press. Gone are the days of hiding your facial moisturiser and down with feeling as though you can't spend time in front of the mirror. This is hardly a revolution of our times, but there should be no more embarrassment when it comes to male fake tanning. There are some excellent ones – unisex even – on the market that are itching to reinvent your weekly or monthly routine.
Fake tan is a great way of immediately looking 100% healthier, fitter and generally in better shape. There are plenty of fake tan companies out there but a good place to start your fast track to great looking, healthy skin is with Famous Dave's fake tan. It is odourless, easy to apply, streak-free and long lasting solution. You don't need to use very much and sometimes just a little used on your face and neck (not too much or you'll look straight-up alien) is enough to achieve a healthy glow. Of course, nothing beats a natural healthy glow, but when it comes down to it, life gets in the way. Whether it's geography or time, tanning naturally just isn't an option sometimes.
Fake tanning is also the safest way to a healthy glow. Sun beds are notoriously bad for you with a lot of skin damage stories coming to the fore over recent years. Whether it's a temporary or year-long fake tan you want, fake tanning is still the way forward. Skin experts will always advise this, with the associated risks of achieving that healthy glow far too strong when done on a sun bed. If you're lucky enough to live somewhere which does have a reasonable amount of sun, or if you go on holiday to somewhere that does, always remember to never expose your skin to dangerous amounts of UV radiation. For this reason again, fake tan is the easiest and safest way to get beautiful olive looking skin.

Global and Planetary Change
The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor helps you evaluate a journal's relative importance, especially when you compare it to others in the same field. To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2012 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years.© 2012 Thomson Reuters, 2012 Journal Citation Reports®
Editors::Sierd Cloetingh
Aims & Scope
An ever changing global system defines the scientific and social problems and issues of our time. The majority of these problems clearly cross traditional scientific boundaries.
The objective of the journal Global and Planetary Change is to achieve a multidisciplinary view of the causes, processes and limits of variability in planetary change. The journal focuses on the record of change in earth history and the analysis and prediction of recent and future changes. Topics include, but are not limited to, changes in the chemical composition of the oceans and atmosphere, climate change, sea level variations, human geography, global geophysics and tectonics, global ecology, biogeography, sustainability and resilience.
Key criteria for manuscripts are global scope or implications for global scale problems, significance beyond a single discipline and a focus on the causes, processes and limits of planetary change. Manuscripts can be submitted as either research contributions or as review articles. Extra effort should be directed towards presenting problems and results for a broad readership. Part of the intent of Global and Planetary Change is for new discoveries or progress in one discipline to foster advances, or act as a catalyst, in understanding the earth as a system.

With more than 420 million people speaking it, the future of Spanish "as an international language" is on the line in the United States, the director of Spain's Cervantes Institute told Efe here Friday.
"Large sectors of the United States preceive Spanish as a language of immigrants, not as a treasure. And that needs changing," Victor Garcia de la Concha said.
On a visit to the Guadalajara International Book Fair, De la Concha said that Spain's current economic crisis, which has entailed budget cuts for the Cervantes Institute, should not hold back the work of making Spanish a global language.
"It is now that Latin countries must unite even more to continue promoting Spanish the world over, above all in the United States," De la Concha said.
The idea is to be well established in big American universities to make sure that future Spanish teachers are prepared to "do a good job of teaching the different varieties of Spanish" not only to neophytes in the language but also to second-generation Hispanics.
The aim of the Cervantes Institute, a public institution founded in 1991 to promote Spanish and the culture of Spanish-speaking countries, is to have a greater presence in American schools.
Garcia de la Concha said that an extensive project to internationalize Spanish cannot be done by "a Spanish Cervantes Institute alone," but requires one that is "Ibero-American."
The demand is growing: in Brazil, where the institute has eight offices, "20,000 teachers are needed," while in "China, India, Korea and Singapore they're asking us every day to set up Cervantes centers," he said.
The institute is currently at work in 44 countries. EFE

Entries related to Playing While on the Ground
May 13, 2012
My son plays u9 soccer and has been sliding as an offensive move to shoot the ball. They keep saying that he is slide tackling…which I believe is a defensive move..can you help me determine the difference, so the organization can discuss what is permitted. I think there is some confusion between the two.
Answer (May 13, 2012):
Unless there is some well-intentioned but totally unauthorized (and unfounded in Law) prohibition on slide tackling in the rules of the competition in which your son plays, there is absolutely no rule that a player cannot slide tackle for the ball. The concern in the Laws of the Game (the rules the world plays by) is that all play shall be fair and safe. As long as the sliding tackle is carried out safely, with no danger to the opponent, then it is not illegal.
As to sliding to shoot the ball, it is hard to imagine how anyone would consider that to be illegal. In order for a play to be called a foul, it must have been committed carelessly, recklessly, or with excessive force.
The referee must judge whether the tackle of an opponent is fair or whether it is careless, reckless, or involves the use of excessive force. Making contact with the opponent before the ball when making a tackle is unfair and should be penalized.
"Careless" indicates that the player has not exercised due caution in making a play. It does not include any clearly accidental contact.
"Reckless" means that the player has made unnatural movements designed to intimidate an opponent or to gain an unfair advantage.
"Involving excessive force" means that the player has far exceeded the use of force necessary to make a fair play for the ball and has placed the opponent in considerable danger of bodily harm.
October 12, 2010
This came up the other day during play and I cannot get a straight answer except for "playing the ball on the ground is against the rules." I did check the league rule book and surprisingly it does not specifically address this issue. I definitely understand it for U6, U8 and U10 games but this is U12 boys. Here it goes;
Offensive player (off) is dribbling the ball towards defensive player (def). Off and Def both attack for the ball. Because of size, the Off player being physically larger than the Def player, the Def falls to the ground. The Def is left lying on his right side facing the Off in front of the ball, not on top of it. The Def never tries to trap the ball with his legs. The Off in his haste to move past the Def kicks the ball multiple times into the Def legs who is trying to get up off the ground. The Off does not try and go around the Def or pull the ball back away from Def. Needless to say the Def was having a hard time getting up when the ball kept hitting his legs. The Def does try to clear the ball away unsuccessfully once or twice by kicking at it. At one point the Def kicked the ball about a foot away and stood up. The whistle was immediately blown and a indirect free kick was awarded to the Offensive player for the Def "playing the ball on the ground." Needless to say this event lasted about 6 seconds start to finish.
My thought is the Def player has the right to protect themselves and fight to get to their feet. Neither player is required to retreat from the ball. I understand there is a lot of "you had to be there" with this question and there is going to be some judgement on the referee's part as to each player's actions. But am I missing something when it comes to playing the ball from the ground. If it does not endanger either player then by itself it does not get an indirect free kick?
I guess I was expecting play to be stopped, possibly one or both or none of the players verbally counselled and a drop ball taken. What's the call?
USSF answer (October 12, 2010):
There is nothing illegal, by itself, about playing the ball while on the ground. Playing the ball while on the ground is NOT NECESSARILY considered to be playing dangerously. It all depends on what the player is actually doing. It becomes the indirect free kick foul known as playing dangerously ("dangerous play") only if the action unfairly takes away an opponent's otherwise legal play of the ball (for players at the youth level, this definition is simplified even more as "playing in a manner considered to be dangerous to an opponent"). At minimum, this means that an opponent must be within the area of danger which the player has created. These same acts can become the direct free kick fouls known as kicking or attempting to kick an opponent or tripping or attempting to trip or tackling an opponent to gain possession of the ball only if there was contact with the opponent or, in the opinion of the referee, the opponent was forced to react to avoid the kick or the trip.
If this is not the case (for example, the player had no opponent nearby), then there is no violation of the Law. If the referee decides that dangerous play has occurred, the restart must be an indirect free kick where the play occurred (see Law 13 – Position of free kick).
Note that even if a dangerous play infringement has been called, the referee should never verbalize it as "playing the ball on the ground," as there is no such foul in the Laws of the Game.
In judging a dangerous play offense, the referee must take into account the experience and skill level of the players. Opponents who are experienced and skilled may be more likely to accept the danger and play through. Younger players have neither the experience nor skill to judge the danger adequately and, in such cases, the referee should intervene on behalf of their safety. For example, playing with cleats up in a threatening or intimidating manner is more likely to be judged a dangerous play offense in youth matches, without regard to the reaction of opponents.
In the situation you describe, with the player on the ground attempting to rise and get out of the way, the player to be called for playing dangerously would be the one who was kicking at the ball. Serious misjudgment by the referee.

MONROE - The Town of Monroe held its first public forum of the year Monday night regarding the annexation of 507 acres to Kiryas Joel, an ultra-Orthodox Hassidic community.
Residents met to discuss who will be in charge of an environmental study of the land up for grabs. While the town wants the state attorney general to supervise, the school district wants to be the lead agency.
"To now provide all these services to a large influx of residents will definitely put a strain on the finances of the school district," said Edward Mehrhof, of Monroe-Woodbury schools.
Orange County Legislator Mike Agagnostakis argued annexing the land to the densely populated Hassidic community would be a financial drain on the county.
"The population is going to skyrocket," said Agagnostakis. "It's going to be trouble for everyone's taxes in Orange County."
The Department of Environmental Conservation will make the decision as to which agency will supervise the environmental study. That decision should come about within the next 30 days.

Paedocypris progenetica
Paedocypris progenetica is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to Indonesia where it is found in peat swamps and blackwater streams. It is the smallest known fish in the world with females reaching a maximum size of 10.3 mm, males 9.8 mm and the smallest known mature specimen, a female, measured only 7.9 mm.[1] It held the record for the smallest known vertebrate until the frog Paedophryne amauensis was formally described in January 2012.[2]

Are Zac Efron & Michelle Rodriguez Getting Serious? Couple Spotted Making Out In Ibiza
Just weeks after Michelle Rodriguez and Zac Efron sparked rumors of a relationship after they were spotted making out in Italy, the couple was at it again Thursday night, this time at a nightclub on the Spanish island of Ibiza.
The two were reportedly locking lips on the dance floor, and, according to TMZ, Efron appeared to be holding a beer bottle. He may have just been holding it for Michelle, who was spotted with it moments before. The actor completed two stints in rehab over the past year, so hopefully he wasn't drinking.
Michelle was spotted aboard a yacht with singer Justin Bieber on Wednesday, hanging out and doing some jumping off the back of the boat with some pals before Efron arrived in town.
Bieber, meanwhile, was hanging out and getting close with model Shanina Shaik on the upper deck, but after posting a selfie with the model he wrote, "Me and the beautiful @ShaninaMShaik, and don't even start with dating rumors."

Theresa May, the Home Secretary, yesterday said she wanted to crack down on "frivolous claims" by police officers, such as the constable who sued the owner of a petrol station after tripping on a kerb.
Mrs May said that it was "simply not the sort of attitude police officers should exhibit" when they were accidentally injured on duty.
Her comments came after PC Kelly Jones, 33, of Norfolk Constabulary, caused outcry earlier this year for pursuing damages over injuries she suffered when she tripped on a petrol station kerb after responding to a suspected break-in.

Hi, Everyone!
As you know from Sharon's note yesterday, her blog post on Pintangle, and perhaps my blog post this morning on Needle 'n Thread, in 2013, Sharon is handing over the running of Stitchin' Fingers to me in January. I'm excited about this!
I've been a member here on Stitchin' Fingers since its launch, but admittedly, I haven't been too active. Still, I've popped in every few days to see what's happening and to soak up some of the ever-present inspiration from your projects and discussions. And I've occasionally joined in discussions and posted photos as well.
Stitchin' Fingers is already an active, strong community of textile enthusiasts, and I plan for it to remain that way.
And that brings me to YOU. Because this is a community, your input and ideas are very important to me. Please feel completely free to contact me with questions, ideas, suggestions, concerns - anything that you feel needs to be addressed or that you think would help improve the Stitchin' Fingers experience for all. Do you already have some ideas in mind? Let me know! Are there any aspects of the site's layout or organization that you think can be improved? I'm all ears! You can contact me using the message feature here on Stitchin' Fingers, or directly through my website, Needle 'n Thread, or you can join in this discussion and leave a comment below!
I'm looking forward to "meeting" you and interacting with you here on Stitchin' Fingers in the new year.
With all my best wishes for a happy 2013 for all!
~Mary Corbet

To me Sharon has created one of the best and most active sites here for stitching enthusiasts of all levels that I have found. I have enjoyed the photos posted, the groups and the helpful tutorials shared. When I have tried to learn a new skill or technique, I have been able to find so many diverse and knowledgeable people on this site willing to help. I would miss StitchinFingers if it were no longer available and I am so glad it is being passed on to you Mary. Like many of the others I have followed your blog, respect your skills and learned much from you. I wish all the best to Sharon in her future endeavors. She is such a talented stitcher and I am sure she will be successful in whatever she takes on.
Mary...so glad to join you on this site.
Welcome and best wishes Mary. I love your daily blog and am sure that SF with you will be good too. I hope that Sharon has a good holiday and will be hearing from her often too, please give our thanks to her for all she has done for us. Look forward to your tips on how to do better in SF - am not a techie either, so any help will be a joy. Very best wishes for 2013 and Stitchinfingers. Peggy
Mary, I love your site 'Needle n Thread' and Sharon's stitch dictionary introduced me to the wonderful world that is embroidery. I owe lots to Sharon all that she's done and is still doing. Thank you both for sharing your talent, time, and enthusiasm for embroidery.
Welcome to your new post running Stitchin fingers... (I think I got that right) Thank you for taking the responsibility and time to develop the site... I can't think of anything as yet... but I'm excited for you both ...
Will we still be getting a weekly challenge? I look forward every week to getting the forum's Take a Stitch Tuesday's. Is Sharon going to carry on with that too and do I just have to wait till she gets back from Holiday?

I don't think it's related to repertoire.
Here's where I first saw it:
"Incan diviners and augurs also had no previous clue to the impending invasion, despite their repoire with the spirit world."
And here are the top hits from a Google search for "repoire":
"...quickly make new friends and develop a repoire with their teachers..."
"We had so many pleasant sensations between us, a fine repoire, yet I felt a bit crazed unknowing whether or not if this repoire is real, or a phantom of what I want to be real."
"I decided we had enough of a repoire to give out my phone number..."
"You feel a bondedness to them, a connectedness, you feel a sense of repoire."
Something of a mixed bag, as you can see, but it seems clear that the sense is the same as "rapport."
Possibly useful sidenote: I didn't get any hits for "repiore."
Another interesting side note: repoire is number 41 the "Top 1000 Not Found" list at http://www.dict.org, with the same number of attempted searches as "recieve."
And, paulb, I rushed right over to post this after trying to find "repoire" in many online dictionaries and doing several extensive web searches. I'm supposed to be revising a paper, you see. . .

I'm taking a class on the Gospel of Luke this semester, and
one of my assignments is to engage in an ongoing spiritual practice
related to that particular Gospel. So for the entire semester I am
reading the Magnificat daily. It's a passage that I've been drawn to in
recent years, but it has been particularly illuminating to be dwelling
on it during Lent this year, since it is typically confined to the Advent
season. Somehow the triumphal language of the justice that God has
already accomplished fits with the modern treatment of Advent as a
celebratory season. But Lent is a season of penance, which puts an
entirely different spin on the text.
Luke 1:26–38; 46b–55
This month millions of families around the world will gather dutifully and joyfully for a traditional ritual meal. Around the edges of some of the more traditional gatherings—the ones where the chief chefs and hosts are grandparents or the age of grandparents—the siblings and cousins of the next-oldest generation will begin to talk together.

October 4, 2002
School systems hold the potential for promoting a democratic society that responds to its members and the changes among them (Banks, Cookson, Gay, Hawley, Irvine, Nieto, Schofield, & Stephan, 2001). One of the priority issues facing America is the restructuring of schools in ways that meet the needs of a pluralistic society, one whose communities face massive changes that include the following:
Demographic changes: the society continues to become older and more racially, ethically, and culturally diverse. Currently, one in every three students enrolled in an elementary or secondary school in the U.S. belongs to a cultural group other than White/European. In contrast, the teaching force remains predominantly White/non-Hispanic (Sleeter, 2001).
Educational changes: Education is becoming more individualized, more interdisciplinary, more application focused, and more holistic.
Individual changes: Children and adults must be able to function at higher levels of physical, emotional, and intellectual challenge and be able to contribute to a productive and caring global society. More than one in seven children between age five and seventeen speak a language other than English in their homes.
Another priority issue facing contemporary schools is the creation of strategies for countering the problem of ethnocentric monoculturalism, in education professionals (classroom teachers, counselors, administrators, and education clinical practitioners) as well as learners. Ethnocentric monoculturalismis a belief in the superiority of one's culture or heritage as compared with others,' and a parallel belief in the inferiority of other groups (e.g., their customs, values, ways of learning, and family practices). It poses a problem for education as it creates barriers to cross-cultural competence and understanding (Sue, 2001).
Ethnocentric monoculturalism has the potential to be destructive in our schools because, although it can be practiced by well-meaning professionals, it encompasses the power (implicit or explicit) to impose one's beliefs and standards on less powerful others (i.e., children). This power or unequal status defines the roles of oppressor and oppressed and contributes to widespread misunderstanding and cultural bias among educators.
By contrast, sociocultural consciousness involves an understanding that people's ways of thinking, behaving, and being are deeply influenced by race/ethnicity, language, and class (Banks, 1996). In this vein, it is suggested that prospective teachers must first become familiar with their own sociocultural identities - - before they can truly understand a diverse population of students (Banks, 1991; Zeichner & Hoeft, 1996).
Given the emerging social changes mentioned above, in addition to the central goal of sociocultural consciousness, professional educators are becoming challenged to accrue information and abilities to help them become knowledgeable about - - and responsive to - - the various cultural groups represented in their schools (Villegas & Lucas, 2002). Educators are also becoming challenged to prepare for navigating diverse school and community systems while protecting and teaching students whose cultures and ways of viewing the world differ from their own. With this broad set of challenges in mind, the following is a description of (a) comprehensive, curricular goals, and (b) specific multicultural education course-content for the preparation of culturally competent educators. We propose that Missouri State will train professionals who:
- create safe, inclusive schools, classrooms, and communities where differences are valued and where the norm is to nonviolently interrupt bias, prejudice, and discrimination
- create school environments where young people and adults at all levels of the organization talk about issues of diversity and how to resolve conflict, manage emotions and express feelings, with a new level of articulation and passion
- provide our school community with knowledge, responsible decision-making skills, and an appreciation of diversity by creating a safe, respectful learning environment
- bring about lasting changes in the attitudes and behavior of young people and adults relevant to managing emotions, resolving conflict, and honoring diversity
Toward these ends, Missouri State's College of Education should both (a) integrate the proposed areas of knowledge, skill, and disposition into existing education courses, and (b) create a capstone course for all education majors, which focuses on the indicated (bold) items in the following lists.
Knowledge Base
Candidates should possess knowledge of the following:
- The construct of worldview and its application to various groups of learners
- The constructs of bias, stereotype, discrimination, and prejudice and their manifestation in U.S. society as well as the classroom
- Elements of effective cross-cultural communication
- Concepts of oppression, including racism, sexism, heterosexism, ageism, classism, and ableism
- Research relative to learning style differences across cultures as well as the complex characteristics of a variety of cultural groups in the U.S.
- Research relative to cross-cultural assessment bias in education
- Cultural identity and its application to various groups of learners
- Concepts such as White Racism and White Privilege and their pervasive impact on traditional educational setting
- Common barriers/challenges to effective cross-cultural education
- Culture-specific instructional strategies
- Specific elements of cultures with which one works and interacts (e.g., family structures, worldviews, etc.)
- Specific ways in which discrimination operates in community and school settings
- Impact of disabilities, immigration, poverty, and sociocultural powerlessness on students' learning
Candidates should demonstrate facility with the following:
- Development of curricula tailored to the needs of diverse groups of learners
- Handling bias and discrimination among students and school personnel
- Communication and consultation techniques useful for working with diverse groups of learners, school personnel, and community members
- Inclusive and culturally sensitive language
- Development of activities designed to facilitate their students' growth in cultural awareness and gender sensitivity
- Engagement in a wide variety of verbal and nonverbal teaching styles
- Exercise of institutional intervention skills on behalf of students when needed
- Taking responsibility to provide linguistic competence for students and families
- Methods of instruction that meet the needs of learners who are diverse in terms of abilities.
Candidates should demonstrate willingness to continue a lifelong pursuit of the following:
- Attitudes that include (a) valuing of difference, (b) appreciation for inclusive schools and classrooms, (c) valuing of inclusive and culturally sensitive language, and (d) celebration of cultural difference
- Awareness of own biases and prejudices and ability to suspend these in order to be nonjudgmental
- Awareness of oneself as an ethnic and cultural being
- Awareness of own background/experiences and how they influence learning process and attitudes
- Respect for indigenous practices and traditions
- Valuing of bilingualism
- Involvement with minority groups outside of work role (community events, neighbors, etc.)

Where in New England can I take my dad camping to see the Perseids?

Isaiah 42:1-9
Boston is dark in January. Very dark. At 5:30 p.m. light has
completely abandoned the city. Sure, there is a kind of fake fluorescent light,
a pale bluey glow, a TV light. But there is no authentic light, only illusion
of it. And illusions only make the matter worse.
Isaiah 42:1–9; Psalm 29; Acts 10:34–43; Matthew 3:13–17
My college motto is vox clamantis in deserto, the voice of one crying out in the wilderness. It suits a college whose fame includes being the setting for the movie Animal House. Cry out in playful poetry. Cry out in inebriated bombast. Cry out amid the lone pines of New Hampshire.
John 1:10-18

On the first morning of every new year, I take a three-foot-long saw with three-inch teeth, walk out onto Lake Michigan at 20 below in my sandals and swimsuit, hack a hole in the two-foot-thick ice and jump in.
This is called a "baptismal pre-dunk."
In my first call as a pastor, I inherited a confirmation program in which 25 teenagers would sit in a church basement with no windows for three hours weekly and silently fill out workbooks while a few church elders supervised them. After two years of this disciplined, disembodied study these future leaders of the church were confirmed. Halleluiah!
