Today, a homeless guy asked me for a cigarette. Knowing that I only had a couple left in my pack, I gave it to him. He opened it, took one out and thanked me profusely. A bit surprised, I went on my way. Oh yes, that's right, the pack contained the money I'd withdrawn from an ATM. FML

text: We've had constipation issues lately, I think banana and sweet potato are the main culprits. I want to give him mango for his next new food. Anybody know if that will constipate him? It doesn't seem like the kind of food that would, but I just want to play it safe. He's not drinking as much milk because of some major teething (top 4 teeth), so I know that's part of it too. I was thinking of mixing it with some avocado since that has gone through pretty smoothly so far.

This isn't as extreme as the time I ate a burger while I rode my bmx bike off a cliff into a ring of fire and then a shark ate me. No I just ate a burger at Oscar's Tavern. That's pretty fucking extreme (extreme language!) if you are familiar with this particular Philly dive bar. Oscar's has become a regular happy hour spot for us library folks. It's dimly lit and has this great old school feel. This is not the place you go to check out the latest microbrew. No, we go there for the cheap big gulp sized glass of Yeungling and the fun characters that fill the bar.
During one of our recent visits I was surprised to see an extensive burger list. Some of them even sounded kind of exotic, French burger anyone? I joked about having burger club at Oscar's but I feared for the safety of my burger club lovelies. So I did it myself with a small group of fearless burger eaters: SouthernArchivist, MarcRecords and Slosh. I have changed the names to protect the not-so-innocent.
I kept it simple and ordered the bacon cheeseburger. I would say it was a 6 or 8 ounce patty. Cooked super well done so it was a bit dry but actually had a nice char which added something to it. The bacon was crispy and the burger was topped with tomato and raw onion. It was served on a kaiser bun, which is my least favorite kind of bread for a burger bun but it worked with this burger. It was a good quality kaiser roll.
MarcRecords wins a metal for bravery, he ordered the French burger. The burger was described as being topped with baked ham, swiss cheese and a burgundy wine sauce. While I saw the ham and the cheese, I did not detect any of the burgundy wine sauce. I was strangely disappointed. I had a bite of the French burger but didn't really get much flavor from the ham or cheese. Bummer. I would probably just stick with the plain cheeseburger or bacon cheeseburger. SouthernArchivist kept it super simple with a plain burger and Slosh got the cheeseburger and it might also have had bacon on it. Thanks you guys for playing along!
When at Oscar's stick with the cheese fries. Super crispy and topped with Cheez Wiz. Have I mentioned my love of Cheez Wiz? Oh I haven't. Well when you're parents divorce at 8 and you live with your dad, you learn to love Cheez Wiz. We ate that shit on everything and it was awesome. Thanks dad! Back to the fries, we often get 1 or 3 orders of these things because after a few monster glasses of beer you need cheese fries. It's simple mathematics, I'm sure there is an equation for it.
At the end of the day would I order a burger from Oscar's again? Probably not. Especially now that 500° just opened right down the street. I'm pretty excited about it. I will continue to visit Oscar's to get together with my library pals, drink cheap beer and have a good time.Oscar's Tavern 1524 Sansom Street Philadelphia, PA 19102-2804

During the set-up of version 1.8.4, in the requirements check, I receive the error:
The rewrite test failed and the most likely cause is that AllowOverride is not set to All for Elgg's directory. This prevents Apache from processing the .htaccess file which contains the rewrite rules.
A less likely cause is Apache is configured with an alias for your Elgg directory and you need to set the RewriteBase in your .htaccess. There are further instructions in the .htaccess file in your Elgg directory.
The same page also says that "Your server's PHP satisfies all of Elgg's requirements.".
In my Apache's httpd.conf, I have "AllowOverride All". Moreover, when I run the http://localhost:8080/ModRewriteTest/testing.php I get "mod_rewrite works". So, I conclude (rightly or wrongly) that I must have no problems with the rewrite.
As for RewriteBase, I should have no problems because I have elgg installed at the root of Apache (hence no subdomain). Yet, after the failure, I also changed it to "RewriteBase /" in .htaccess but it did not improve the situation.
I have:
Apache 2.2.10 on Windows Vista
PHP 5.2.17 (with safe_mode = Off) This is the VC6 x86 Thread Safe version.
MySQL 5.5.21
Elgg 1.8.4
I have tried to skip this requirement step by manipulating the URL to database check. This seems to have worked for some people as reported in the previous tech support notes. For me after "create admin account" step, I have received unrecoverable fatal error. Hence I decided that I have to be sure that the requirements step to work before I can investigate other causes.
I have looked around. Checked the config files over and over. Tried out the rewriteTest PHP program but to no avail. I must have done something wrong but just can not find it. I wonder if the real problem is something else than the reported one?
I appreciate any help on this...
Best Regards.
Where is the AllowOverride directive? It needs to be under a <Directory> section. What OS are you using and how did you install Apache?
Hello Brett,
Thanks for your kind followup.
- I have specified AllowOverride directive in Apache's httpd.conf in 3 places. I give them below in the stated order. If not propoerly set, would the modRewriteTest not fail?
- My installation is on Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2.
- I am not sure what you mean by "how Apache was installed" but the Apache installation on this PC is relatively old. I had installed it to be used with previous Elgg installations (1.2, 1.5 & 1.7.x). BTW, I have deleted previous elgg mysql databases on this PC.
- To be sure, during the requirements check ğhase I have disabled the firewall and virus checker.
The order of the AllowOverride directives in httpd.conf is (BTW my elgg 1.8.4 directory is just below the Apache's htdocs directory):
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
AllowOverride All
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride All
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Thanks again for your kind followup!
I'm confused about where 1.8.4 actually is. You said in the first post it's in Apache's root, but you mention that means it has "no domain." Do you mean "no subdirectory?" In the post above, you mention that it's "just below the Apache's htdocs directory." Do you have something like C:\apache\htdocs\elgg-1.8.4?
If so, the RewriteBase would be /elgg-1.8.4/
Hello Brett, thank you again for your follow-up.I really appreciate it.
Sorry for my misunderstanding. Indeed my elgg is installed at:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\elgg-1.8.4
and now I have changed in .htaccess the RewriteBase to:
RewriteBase /elgg-1.8.4/
I have restarted the Apache server, but got exactly the same error in the requirements check.
As I could not think of anything else, I also tried out...
RewriteBase /htdocs/elgg-1.8.4/ but got the same error.
Best Regards.
I have installed elgg 1.7.1 and it installs and works without any problems (quick test).
Could the problem be with 1.8.x versions or some dependency introduced on 1.8.4 that I am overlooking?
Best Regards.
I have also tried out elgg 1.7.15 and 18.104.22.168 and 1.8.3. Problem only occurs with 18.x versions.
1.7.15 installs and works without any problems (quick test). I have noticed that in this version, I do not even have to set RewriteBase directory!
1.8.3 gives the same error as 1.8.4. No matter what I do. Moreover the very original 1.9.x version 188.8.131.52 gives exactly the same error.
Could the problem be with 1.8.x versions or some dependency introduced on 1.8.x that I am overlooking?
Best Regards.
Elgg 1.8 is the only version of Elgg that actually performs the test. The test relies upon having curl installed or allow_url_fopen set to true. Can you confirm you have one or both of these?
In php.ini allow_url_fopen was set correctly but my PHP installation did not have curl installed.
I am sorry for taking your time. Somehow I missed that curl was a requirement.
Brett, thanks for your great help! I really appreciate it. THANK YOU.
The installer checks if curl exists and tries to fall back to native PHP methods. If it didn't work correctly with your installation it indicates a bug. Can you confirm that it DOES work as expected when curl is enabled?
I can confirm that, once curl is installed with PHP, the installation successfully passes the requirements check.
Best Regards.
note: without curl, when it failed, it took longer than 30 secs to execute the requirements check stage. I needed to increase max_execution_time = 180 in php.ini to get the results. After the installation of curl, the check was much faster (and displayed that all passed).

Bonne nouvelles! A fresh season of artistic fare has arrived for Prince Albert's francophones.
© Herald photo by Matt Gardner
Quebec comedian Mélanie Breton performs at the Carrefour Fransaskois on Thursday evening, as the Fransaskois Performing Arts Network launches its 10th artistic season.
The Fransaskois Performing Arts Network, a non-profit organization that develops artistic programming for French-speaking residents of Saskatchewan, is launching its 10th artistic season. In the next couple of weeks, communities throughout the province will be offering special sneak preview performances to entice audiences.
Prince Albert is leading the way. La Société canadienne-française de Prince Albert (SCFPA), or the French-Canadian Society of Prince Albert, launched the new season on Thursday night with a performance by Quebec comedian Mélanie Breton.
"It just happened that we have this comedian coming in," SCFPA president Michel Dubé said. "So we're just kind of using that opportunity to launch our concert season and our regular community programs."
Breton previously worked in Prince Albert schools before transitioning to a career in comedy. She opened up for the well-known comedian Boucar Diouf in 2007.
"I saw her briefly at some concert here … I want to say five, six years ago," Dubé said. "Just for a few minutes, she just kind of improvised a couple numbers, a couple jokes … She was on tour (this year) and somehow we heard about it, so we snagged her."
The comedy performance started at 7 p.m. on Thursday as the culmination of the evening's festivities. Around three dozen locals had gathered at the Carrefour Fransaskois to talk over beer and beef on a bun while learning about upcoming events.
According to a 2006 Statistics Canada census, the Prince Albert region contains 8 per cent of Saskatchewan's population but 18 per cent of the province's francophones. It is estimated that 4 per cent of Prince Albert residents speak French as their first language. But not everyone who attends events at the Carrefour Fransaskois considers French their mother tongue.
"We get a bit of both," Dubé said. "There are quite a few Anglophones who are learning French, of course, as a second language. So they come out if they hear from us … (but) most of them are French-speaking that come … that's for sure."
The goal of the artistic season is to give people who are interested in the French language ... the opportunity to be exposed to French music, and at the same time to be able to meet people and use the language. Michel Dubé
Regardless of one's exact relationship to the language, everyone is welcome to attend cultural events at the Carrefour Fransaskois. Occasionally demand outstrips the centre's capacity, which is often limited to 20 or 30 people for more intimate performances.
The Carrefour Fransaskois will host four featured events in the coming months. On Oct. 13, a lobster supper is followed by Mirador, a collaboration by singer-songwriter Alexis Normand and visual artist Zoé Fortier that combines song, video and projections.
On Nov. 16, pop/rock artist Alex Nevsky will play a concert with opening act Indigo Joseph. Later, on Feb. 17, audiences can see the play Coffre-fort, written by up-and-coming Regina-born playwright Marcie-Claire Marcotte and featuring English subtitles.
Finally, on March 21, singer-songwriter Juan Sebastian Larobina will be joined by folk singer Malika Sellami for a night of eclectic world music.
"The goal of the artistic season is to give people who are interested in the French language — either they're francophone or the people who are just learning French as a second language — the opportunity to be exposed to French music, and at the same time to be able to meet people and use the language … whether it's their first language or second language," Dubé said.
"It's just living your language, living your culture. That's basically the whole gist of it, and that's from a spectator's point of view. From a musician's point of view, of course, it's to be able to express your art … That's why every year we have artists from Quebec, some very, very well known, some lesser known. We have artists from just about any province in Canada, plus we always feature a Saskatchewan or Fransaskois artist at the same time."
Tickets are $15 per show for adults and $6 for students. Season passes are also available at $75 for adults and $45 for students.

Montross takes care of business
- Details
- Last Updated on Monday, 02 July 2012 20:48
- Published on Monday, 02 July 2012 20:48
- Hits: 1366
Maintenance reports consumed the majority of the Montross Town Council meeting on June 26.
The council did however pass their FY 2012-13 budget with proposed revenues and expenditures to the general fund $180,625, water fund $86,575, sanitation fund $75,325 and festival funds $5,000.
Also passed with the budget were the following rates; real estate tax .046 per $100 of assessed property value, a minimum water fee at $12.50 in town and $18.75 out of town and a minimal trash removal fee in town $12.50 and $14.75 out of town. A schedule for fees over the minimum are available at town hall.
The town was also awarded a Community Development Block Grant to revitalize the downtown area, worth over half a million dollars. Councilman Terry Cosgrove said that residents he talked with were surprised the town received the grant.
Cosgrove said the money would be spent in the following ways; $140,000 for a revolving loan fund, $10,000 for website development, another $10,000 would go for design assistance in the facade program, $40,000 would be spent on way-finding signage design and street scape engineering and design and $80,000 would fund facade and blight mitigation.
The largest chunk of money, $200,000, will go towards the three crosswalks near the sharp turn in Route 3 located in the heart of downtown Montross to make pedestrian crossing safer.
The town plans to re-mark the crosswalks with painted rubber outlining the path and put in solar powered signage that would alert motorists to pedestrians crossing.
Another $50,000 will be spent on administration, Town Manager Brenda Reamy was away in Stanton at a training seminar to learn administrative record keeping required in the implementation of the grant.
Mayor David O'Dell reported that the tower repairs were under way. "They are ahead of schedule. They haven't gotten the compressor in for the sand blasting. So I think they have a little bit of down time until tomorrow morning."
O'Dell reported that the pedestrian crosswalk on the corner by the courthouse had been repainted.
Cosgrove had reported at the May meeting that he was giving young children a tour of the town and the group was almost run over by a motorist. Cosgrove requested that the town call VDOT to have it repainted.
Recently VDOT has shown up in both Montross and Colonial Beach to repave curbs at intersections, making them handicap accessible. The ramps were also fitted with metal plates containing bumps that help wheelchairs resist rolling too fast when coming down off the curb.
Before moving on to other agenda items, Councilman Clinton A. Watson asked about a storm grate that was filled in by contractors on Alma Ln. Clinton said the grate has gotten clogged in previous years leaving puddles. Discussion concluded that contractors filled in the storm grate with dirt and finally straw to promote grass growth.
Clinton and the council believe that filling in the grate was not part of the job the contractors were hired to do, but probably filled it in believing they were doing a service to the town.
O'Dell reported seeing two VDOT trucks looking in that area on the morning of the meeting. The Mayor said he would have Reamy check with VDOT to ensure it was taken care of, after she returned.
The meeting ended after just 17 minutes and one member who will go unnamed joked that he didn't want to go home right away or his wife might find something for him to do.

I began working with the College of Aviation in January 2013 after graduating from the College of Aviation with a BS in Aviation Administration in April 2012 and working previously as an Assistant Residence Hall Director with Residence Life. In working with the Office of Recruitment and Outreach I like that I am able to get students excited about aviation and going to college for aviation. Beginning Summer 2013 I will be pursuing my Master's of Business Administration. I got hooked on aviation in between my freshman and sophomore years in high school when I attended an Aviation Career Education Camp at the local airport.

Although a recent addition to the College of Aviation, Tom Thinnes has been a long time Bronco. Graduating with a degree in history and secondary education from Western Michigan University in 1990, Tom began a career path which eventually led him to the College of Aviation. Soon after graduation, Tom spent approximately ten years just a hop, skip, and a jump from his current office. Working for Sub-Aquatic Sports and Service he combined his love of scuba diving with his passion for education and student outreach. However, after almost a decade underwater, the call of academia encouraged him to pursue his master's degree. Enrolling at Michigan State University and earning a Masters of Arts in Curriculum and Teaching, the next journey in his career pathway led to Florida and Brevard Public Schools. During his tenure, he taught fourth and sixth grade, eventually finding a home at McNair Magnet School where he was the coordinator of recruitment and outreach activities. While in Florida, the lure of Michigan kept tugging at him. After five years, the decision was made to move back to the Great Lakes State, where he was fortunate enough to become part of the College of Aviation.

Objective: The study aimed to determine if the difference in cervical epithelium brightness, as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT), has potential as a distinguishing characteristic of normal, low-grade, high-grade (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+), and cancer histological findings.
Materials and Methods: Information from 476 women was available for analysis. Demographic information was collected through in-person interview. All participants were human papillomavirus positive and/or had abnormal cytological finding and underwent colposcopy or unaided visual inspection and examination by OCT by quadrant. All women had a minimum of 4 OCT-matched cervical biopsies and endocervical curettage. Two sample t tests were used to measure differences in OCT image brightness by histological grades.
Results: Mean OCT image brightness differed significantly between each preinvasive histological grade and invasive cancer (p < .01 for all comparisons). Brightness as measured by OCT was also able to differentiate between squamous metaplasia and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3/cancer; p values were .004 and .003, respectively.
Conclusions: Epithelial brightness is an important component of cervical epithelium diagnosis by OCT, and we plan to add it to our diagnostic mathematical algorithm in all future versions of OCT software.

I have 2 theorys about this:
1. This album will complete the band's contract with The End Records. They want more money to renew said contract. The End want them on the same or less money. By indefinatly delaying the release of the album, Virgin Black are indefinatly tied to the existing record contract.
2. The lable lost the master tapes and won't admit it.

Great Blender; Flimsy lid

About Me Casual Cook
Best Uses
The only flaw I have found with this unit is that the little plastic handle in the lid - which can be used to measure and add in ingredients while the blender is working - pulls out of the handle very easily. When you want to take the lid on and off, you must do so by grasping the pitcher cover from around the circumference. Makes it feel awkward. It's a shame, because the unit blends very nicely.

Beginning today, residents of nine states will be receiving automated calls featuring the voice of actress Kathleen Turner supporting the confirmation of Dawn Johnsen. The calls urge constituents to call targeted Senators to demand that they support Johnsen, President Obama's nominee to lead the Office of Legal Counsel.
"Enough is enough," said Turner. "Dawn Johnsen is eminently qualified for this position. She has the experience, the intellect, and the integrity to lead the OLC. Blocking Dawn Johnsen's nomination is nothing more than petty politics. It's shocking that Republican Senators would still place partisan interests above the wellbeing of the country."
The calls will be in Alaska, Arizona, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Utah. In many of these states, Senators made earlier statements blasting the use of the filibuster on presidential nominees.
"Kathleen is a longtime board member of our affiliate People For the American Way Foundation, and I'm honored that she's working with us so closely on this," said Michael Keegan, President of People For the American Way. "Dawn Johnsen is an exceptionally qualified nominee for this position who has been pilloried for her principled defense of the rule of law. It's important that the Senate know that Americans want to clean up the mess that President Bush left behind."
The script of the message reads:
Hello, I'm Kathleen Turner calling on behalf of People For the American Way. I'm asking you to join me in urging the Senate to confirm Dawn Johnsen—that's D-A-W-N Johnsen—President Obama's choice to lead the Office of Legal Counsel.
George Bush used this office to provide the legal justifications for torture and illegal spying. Because of Dawn's courageous opposition to those policies, the Right Wing wants to block her confirmation. But we can't let them.
Dawn has the experience and integrity this position needs. Please, call your senators and tell them to confirm Dawn Johnsen.

Closer Look at AMD A8-3870K Processor
In fact, AMD A8-3870K, which is the main character of our today's review, is not really that new. It is the same Llano, just like other previously launched A8 products, which semiconductor die contains four computational Husky cores and a Sumo graphics core. By launching their A8-3870K, AMD's major goal was not to increase the performance of Socket FM1 systems, but mostly to make them more attractive in terms of overclocking.
Therefore, the formal specifications of the new AMD A8-3870K look very similar to those of A8-3850:
It is, actually, all about raising the clock frequency of the computational cores by 100 MHz, which may be considered a barely noticeable upgrade in real life. Other than that, A8-3850 and A8-3870K are identical, so it is not surprising that the new APU is priced at the same $135 as its younger brother.
Obviously, any more dramatic increase of the Llano processors clock frequency could result in significant increase in their heat dissipation, which could go beyond the 100 W TDP set for this platform, even though these semiconductor dies are manufactured using quite contemporary 32 nm process. Therefore, AMD doesn't have any means of increasing the computational performance of their APU. There is no dramatic increase in the clock frequencies of the existing Socket FM1 processors, and this situation will most likely continue until the next-generation Trinity products on Piledriver microarchitecture come out. K10 microarchitecture, which has been minimal modified on transition to Llano has completely exhausted its potential by now.
The major difference between the Llano and Propus computational cores is the different size of L2 cache-memory. Each A8-3870K core has 1 MB of L2 cache. Other than that, A8-3870K is very much like Athlon II 640. The difference in pure computational performance of these two processors is no more than 5-7% (in favor of A8-3870K) and results from twice as much cache-memory and a number of minor cosmetic improvements in Husky core: larger internal buffers and an individual unit for integer division operations.
It is much more interesting to take a closer look at the Sumo graphics core integrated into A8-3870K, which is implemented as Radeon HD 6550D graphics accelerator.
The graphics core in A8-3870K features 400 processors with VLIW5 microarchitecture. Since the clock frequency of this core is set at 600 MHz, the semiconductor die integrated into the processor is, in fact, the analogue of Radeon HD 5570 graphics card. However, it has no graphics memory of its own and uses part of the system memory for its needs.

Student Testimonials
"The Barrow Group was really the acting institution that taught me how to act. I worked with the best teachers…Lee Brock and Seth Barrish, who taught me why less is really more."
—Anne Hathaway, Academy Award Winner
"So many times, we as actors forget the play of acting. You go into class and everything's like, "Great work": like everything's work. At The Barrow Group, it really came from this other perspective: "This is play." That was a really great time. I would say that was my most significant training."
–Tony Hale, Arrested Development, Veep, Emmy Award Winner
"If you are like me, and you like to get the feeling, when watching a play or film or whatever, not that the actor is performing for you, but that you are being let in on a secret viewing of someone's most private life…if you want to know what it feels like to do that in your work…then Seth Barrish is your guy. And moreover, what he teaches is simple, without ego."
—Jennifer Landon, Three-time Emmy winner
"I walked through the doors of The Barrow Group and rediscovered not only joy in Acting, but an essential belief in myself."

The decision has been made to approve the proposed Resource Management Plan Amendment for the Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area and to select Alternative A (Preferred) as presented in the Final Environmental Assessment (EA). An EA was prepared for the plan in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969.
As part of the NEPA process, the Roswell Field Office considered the context and intensity of implementing the Selected Alternative (Alternative A – Preferred), and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The FONSI concluded that the implementation of the Selected Alternative would not have significant environmental effects, and that the Selected Alternative did not constitute a major federal action having a significant effect on the human environment. As a result, an Environmental Impact Statement was not necessary and was not prepared.
The Proposed RMP Amendment was circulated for a 30-day protest period in accordance with 43 CFR 1610.5-2. The protest period began August 23, 2013 and ended September 22, 2013. No protest letters were received.
The Decision Record, FONSI, and Final (Approved) EA are available for review in the box to the right.

I wanted to share something we've been trying before I move on to more Palm Springs week! (I spent most of yesterday catching up on work and also working on that dollhouse DIY that I keep mentioning... I think I have it figured out, so I just need to photograph everything.. will post soon!)
Ethan is kind of like me, he finds out about something interesting and decides to obsess on it for weeks at a time.
Enter: Green Smoothies
Not sure where he first read about them, but it's all he's talked about for probably over a month now. We've both been talking a lot about being more thoughtful about what we put into our bodies (we are already fairly strict about what the boys can eat, why not extend that to ourselves?) and have for the most part been eating mostly organic. We have an amazing farmer's market here in Atlanta of which we feel very thankful for. It is HUGE. We realize this isn't something that is available to everyone in every city, so we feel very lucky!
Between the farmer's market and Trader Joe's, we've almost eliminated going to the regular grocery store. Both places are a bit of a drive for us, but it's worth it. And of course with Trader Joe's, their products in general make me feel more at ease about what ingredients are in their food. Even with the natural/organic section at Kroger, it's not the biggest selection and their prices aren't the best.
I've also been trying to taper down on my caffeine intake (which I don't always succeed with!) and also aspertame, and I found a really tasty diet soda alternative (to Diet Coke) called Hansen's. I'm sure most of you have heard of it. I tried a diet soda sweetened with Stevia from Whole Foods and just didn't love the taste, so I'm settling for something sweetened with Splenda. Also, Hansen's doesn't have caffeine which is a major plus. And really, cokes never keep me awake, so the extra caffeine was kind of a waste.
So back to those Green Smoothies...
Ethan and I have both been wanting to lose weight (um, when have we NOT been "wanting" to lose weight.. the key is when do we actually act on it?! ha). We both always have the best intentions, but we are definitely stress-eaters. Things have been kind of a giant roller-coaster over the past 6 months dealing with lots of personal things (change of job for Ethan, school system issues, will we put our house on the market, etc, etc) and the idea of dieting has felt quite frankly impossible to us. Especially with summer vacations and travel, it's hard to be disciplined with what we eat. (although, again, we are pretty strict about what the boys eat! isn't that what parents tend to do? we care so much about our kids, that we don't take time to care for ourselves.)
So Ethan's been reading and reading about these Green Smoothies and he just felt really inspired by the stories he was reading not only of people losing massive amounts of weight, but the fact that these drinks are really good for you!
It's pretty fascinating what these green-hued drinks have done for people: weightloss, cured diseases, better skin, restored 20/20 vision (!!) to name a few.
They are filled with all of those things that we personally don't eat a lot of: greens. We don't eat a lot of veggies in our house either. And it's near impossible to get the boys to eat them. This has been a concern of our's for a long time. They eat tons of fruit, but not a lot of veggies.
Ethan felt so inspired by these Green Smoothies and felt it could be one of those "life changer" kind of things and would be beneficial to the whole family. So we invested in a Vitamix blender (which apparently is the Rolls Royce of blenders, and has a price to match) and started using it this week! I'm happy to report that the smoothies are SO GOOD. Ethan was like a kid in a candy store in the greens section at the farmer's market and brought back all kinds of greens. You can add fruit to sweeten them. They are incredibly fresh tasting.
This week we've tried: spinach + papaya + apples
spinach + watermelon + apples
Last night Ethan mixed rainbow chard plus fruit and other greens. Have yet to try it!
The great thing about these is how convenient they are. So fast and easy to make. And when you invest in a blender that is that pricey, you tend to follow through with it. ; ) (unlike that gym membership? ;)
There are tons of recipes out there and some specifically for kids that we can't wait to try. Ethan has given Cooper one the past two mornings (haven't had a chance to give one to Cam yet) and EUREKA, he drank the whole thing yesterday... as far as we know. Haha. We didn't see any green liquid in the trash or the sink.
BUT this morning we saw some smoothie poored out in the sink. We still aren't sure if he dumped the whole thing out, but he SAID he thought there were bugs in it at the bottom (aka probably fruit seeds because the blender blends it SO smoothly there are no chunks). We've been dealing with some "white lying" with Cooper lately, so we're choosing to believe him on that. :P
He said he liked it... so we're hoping that's a good sign for the future!
Here are some books that Ethan poured over on his Kindle, if you'd like to check any of them out:
Website: Green Smoothie Challenge
Green Smoothie App for any phone!
(Ethan highly recommends this app)
I'll keep you posted on our Green Smoothie adventure.
Do you make Green Smoothies? Please share your experiences in the comments section!
(I have to note that, no, no one has paid me to write about green smoothies or Vitamix blenders. ;)

Explain any 2 political reasons of French revolution1
by Bolli
- Rprathiba
- Ambitious
The Ancien Regime system was based on the concentration of all political, social and economic power between three classes, the monarchy, the clergy, and the aristocracy. The First estate represented the Roman Catholic clergy. The Second estate represented the nobility, with its main governor, King Louis XVI and his "court". Finally, the Third estate represented the rest of the population, the poorest and largest group of people.
The inequality in distribution of powers and rights between these different estates was the main cause of the explosion of anger amongst Third estate representatives.
There were very few opportunities for the general population to ascend the social ladder as all privileges were determined by birth and not by talent. The social mobility rights could be bought but it was impossible for the poorest to afford them.
All the main political decisions were taken arbitrarily by the King and his advisers, with little or no direct consultation with the rest of the French population.
Added to this unfair and archaic political system, a terrible economic crisis pushed the poorest people closer to revolt.

Tanning dependence
|Look up tanorexia in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Tanning dependence is a rare syndrome where an individual appears to have a physical or psychological dependence on sunbathing or the use of tanning beds.[1] Based upon one review, compulsive tanning may satisfy the definition of a behavioral addiction as well.[2]
Medical evidence[edit]
In 2005, a group of dermatologists published a study showing that frequent tanners experience a loss of control over their tanning schedule, displaying a pattern of dependence similar to smokers and alcoholics.[3]
Biochemical evidence implicates opioidergic mechanisms in tanning dependence. When frequent tanners took an opioid antagonist in a 2006 study, they experienced severe withdrawal symptoms, while infrequent tanners experienced no withdrawal symptoms under the same conditions.[4]
Tanorexia is the term used to describe a condition in which a person, most notably Caucasian people, participates in excessive outdoor sun tanning or excessive use of other skin tanning methods (such as tanning beds) to achieve a darker skin complexion because they perceive themselves as unacceptably pale.[5] The syndrome is different from tanning dependence, although both may fit into the same syndrome and can be considered a subset of tanning dependence.
Although the term "tanorexia" has been used by the media and several doctors to describe the syndrome, both the word and syndrome have not been widely accepted by the medical community, and is considered slang by many. The term was coined after the medical condition anorexia nervosa, a disorder characterized by low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight. It can be likened to the common practice of adding the suffix "-aholic" (from the term alcoholic) to the end of any action or food someone enjoys extensively and often (e.g., "choc-aholic," "work-aholic" "golf-aholic," "shop-aholic," etc.).
Serious cases of tanorexia can be considered dangerous. This is because many of the more popular methods of tanning (such as those mentioned above) require prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation, which is known to be a cause of many negative side effects, including skin cancer.
Extreme instances may be an indication of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD),[6] a mental disorder in which one is extremely critical of his or her physique or self-image to an obsessive and compulsive degree. As it is with anorexia, a person with BDD is said to show signs of a characteristic called distorted body image. In layman's terms, anorexia sufferers commonly believe they are overweight, many times claiming they see themselves as "fat", when in reality, they are often, but not always, nutritionally underweight and physically much thinner than the average person. In the same way, a sufferer of "tanorexia" may believe him or herself to have a much lighter – even a pale – complexion when he or she is actually quite dark-skinned.
Neither tanning dependence nor tanorexia are covered under the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. However, a 2005 article in The Archives of Dermatology presents a case for UV light tanning dependence to be viewed as a type of substance abuse disorder.[3]
In 2012, New Jersey mother Patricia Krentcil received national media attention amid accusations that she had brought her then five-year-old daughter, Anna, with her to a tanning salon in order for Anna to tan. The child's school nurse had expressed concern over her sunburn, at which point the daughter claimed she had gone "tanning with Mommy." This prompted the school to call Division of Youth and Family Services, as New Jersey law bans children under 14 from tanning booths.[7] Initial media coverage of the event resulted in widespread attention given to Patricia's unusually bronzed image, leading many to speculate that she was tanorexic.[8] She was subsequently charged with second degree child endangerment[9] as well as banned from over 60 tanning salons in the tri-state area.[10] Patricia claimed that it was all a misunderstanding, saying her daughter was never exposed to the tanning booth's UV rays and instead got slightly sunburned while playing outside on a warm day.[11] She was later cleared of the charge.[12] At one point, she was challenged to stop tanning for one month, which she did, greatly changing her appearance. She claimed it made her feel "weird and pale", and that she would cut back on tanning, but not eliminate it from her hobbies. A Connecticut-based business also attempted to seize and capitalize on the "tan mom" craze by creating an action figure doll of Patricia.[13] More information about tanorexia. [14]
