"A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" Ernest Hemingway
American short story writer, novelist, essayist, nonfiction writer, memoirist, journalist, poet, and dramatist. See also, "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" Criticism, The Old Man and the Sea Criticism and Ernest Hemingway Criticism.
"A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is considered a prime example of Hemingway's craftsmanship and insight into the human condition. In this brief story, which was initially published in Scribner's Magazine in 1933, he evokes an atmosphere of despair and loneliness almost entirely with dialogue and interior monologue. Through these stylistic techniques Hemingway renders a complex series of interactions between an old waiter and his young colleague as the two men reflect on the ephemeral nature of happiness and the inevitability of death. Much of the critical commentary on the short story focuses on a series of unattributed lines of dialogue. For decades, commentators have speculated on Hemingway's stylistic technique in "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," turning to the author's original manuscript and correspondence to determine the proper configuration and attribution of the dialogue of the story.
Plot and Major Characters
Rendered almost completely in dialogue, the main action of "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is set in a small café in Spain, as two waiters prepare to close the establishment for the night. The place is empty except for a regular customer, a deaf old man drinking alone at one of the tables. Realizing that the old man is drunk, one of the waiters informs the other that the customer attempted suicide the week before. After the waiters watch a young man and woman pass on the street, the young waiter serves the old customer another brandy and voices his impatience to the old waiter, complaining that the old man is keeping him from his warm bed and the comfort of his wife. They discuss the old man's suicide attempt and his possible reasons for such a desperate act. When the old man gestures for another brandy, the young waiter tells him that it is closing time. After the old man pays his bill and leaves, the old waiter chides the young waiter for his lack of patience and empathy for the old man. He compares himself to the man, saying he understands the need for a clean, well-lighted place to be at night. After the café closes, the old waiter stops at a bar for a drink before he goes home, dreading his return to an empty room.
Major Themes
In his short fiction Hemingway depicted a disillusioning environment in which his protagonists address the precariousness of existence, the evanescence of happiness, and the universality of suffering. This is certainly true in "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," as the old waiter shows a sensitivity to and understanding of both the young waiter's impatience to get home and the old man's utter hopelessness. Critics have noted a series of contrasts in the story: light and dark, clean and dirty, noisy and quiet, youth and age, and nihilism and religious idealism. In fact, many believe that the major thematic concern of the story is the conflict between generations. This is illustrated by the contrast between the two major characters: for many critics, the young waiter represents materialism and the callousness of youth and the old waiter symbolizes the perspective and wisdom of age, which is illustrated by his empathy for the old man's profound despair and alleged suicide attempt. Some critics have suggested that the old waiter's repetitive use of the term "nada" (translated as "nothing" or "nothingness") suggests his nihilistic tendencies because he faces loneliness and advancing death like the old man. A few commentators have viewed the three main characters in the story as an implied progression from youth through middle age to old age.
Critical Reception
In 1959 controversy about the dialogue in "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" began when two critics noted a few confusing and illogical passages of conversation between the two waiters. Hemingway rarely identified the speaker of each line of dialogue, and confusion ensued about which character was speaking each line. In fact, some of the dialogue seemed to be uttered by the wrong character. At first, commentators speculated that there was a mistake in the text: Hemingway or his publisher, Scribner's, had forgotten or omitted a line of dialogue, throwing off the entire exchange between the two characters. In 1959, Otto Reinert challenged the prevailing theory that Hemingway employed metronomic dialogue and that each indented line implied a new speaker. Instead, he theorized that Hemingway utilized anti-metronomic dialogue—allowing a character to speak consecutive lines of dialogue in a few places. This could explain the discrepancy and allow the dialogue to be logical and idiosyncratic.
A few years later, commentators began to challenge Reinert's theory. Joseph Gabriel contended that the dialogue was metronomic and that the resulting confusion was viewed as an integral aspect of the story. John Hagopian rejected these theories, maintaining that the confusion stemmed from a typographical error and urged a revision of the story. In 1965 the story was amended as recommended and reprinted in The Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway. This revised version of "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" unleashed a torrent of protest from critics who repudiated Hagopian's view and agreed with Reinert's theory of Hemingway's use of anti-metronomic dialogue. Many scholars furnished additional examples of anti-metronomic dialogue in Hemingway's short fiction and novels, discovering further evidence for Reinert's theory in the author's correspondence with friends and publishers, as well as the original manuscript of the story. In recent times, Reinert's view has become the prevailing theory, as many scholars have urged a republication of Hemingway's original version of "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place."

[In the following essay, Kroeger considers the confusing dialogue in Hemingway's story.]
Ever since the first printing of "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" in Scribner's Magazine (March, 1933), there has been what appears to be an insoluble problem in the dialogue. Hemingway, or someone, has been careless enough about this story so that at one time one main speaker seems to have information about the old man's suicide attempt which the other one does not have, and at another time the situation is reversed. If the young waiter has the...

Interpretation of Hemingway's "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" has always been dogged by the problem of the confused dialogue between the two waiters, and it seems to me unfortunate that the discussion of it remains where Joseph F.

It is almost sixty years since Hemingway silently patented a small change in the way we arrange dialogue; but many readers still refuse to acknowledge the innovation, so that we have had, over the past twenty years, not only twenty conflicting articles on the dialogue of "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" but even the publisher's unwarranted emendation of the...

Hemingway's story begins late at night in a café. An old man is drinking, watched by two waiters who are not differentiated.

Games I Own: Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy
Posted on 13th Jan 2010 at 10:51 by Joe Martin with 13 comments
It's not a perfect game, by any means. In fact it is downright bad in some places and the plot, which focuses on multiple characters caught up in the wake of a murder, unravels and strays hideously in the latter stages. It's a sad result of the game, which was planned as an episodic title, being rushed to a retail release by the publisher before some chapters had been finished. It still makes sense, it just requires a bit of effort.
There are a few different characters you control in the game and the main one is a man called Lucas Kane who comes out of a trance in a New York diner to find that he's just murdered a man. Unable to recollect the experience, Lucas flees – but not before players are given a window of interaction. The first scene of the game immediately follows the murder and lets players decide how Lucas acts. Will he hide the murder weapon? Wash the blood off his hands? Bolt out of the emergency exit and flee or return to his table, calmly pay his cheque and try to avoid suspicion?
Once Lucas leaves the murder scene the viewpoint switches to that of Tyler and Carla, the two detectives investigating the murder. You can switch between both characters and are given similar free roam as to how much evidence you collect – most of which you hid just moments before. You question witnesses and, for the bulk of the game, try to identify Lucas and track him down. When you aren't playing as a cop though then you're Lucas, desperately trying to discover the truth behind the murderous trance and to clear your name. Meanwhile New York descends into a permanent winter, more murders occur and the city empties as life grind to a halt.

Common Sense
February 1937, page 1

Many Catholics seem to think that liturgical renewal was an idea that the Second Vatican Council came up with all by itself. Actually, Vatican II's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy was just one important step in a liturgical movement that grew, with papal approval, in the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, and continues even today. Catholic Digest's editors strongly supported this movement from the very beginning, as this lovely, personal reflection on the Mass, from our February 1937 issue, shows. The general themes expressed here would be expressed again in the Council's liturgy constitution 26 years later, and the article is still well worth our reflection today.
The author of this article, Ade Bethune, was born in Belgium in 1914, emigrated to the U.S. in 1928, and died in 2002. She was a liturgical artist and a close friend of Dorothy Day, and she shared Day's vision of love and concern for the poor. Her artwork was part of the Catholic Worker movement for many years. Dorothy Day said this about Ade in her autobiography The Long Loneliness: "Whenever I visited Ade I came away with a renewed zest for life. She has such a sense of the sacramentality of life, the goodness of things, a sense that is translated in all her works whether it was illustrating a missal, making stained-glass windows or sewing, cooking or gardening."

The former kitchen was located in a one-window room, making it feel dark and cramped, so Howard moved it into a brighter area of the home with more natural light. "We spend most of our time in there now," says Jenny. "Andrew truly opened it up, and the flow is excellent."

>You learn a lot in a very compressed time frame from cutouts.
He will Quickly learn to have used a smoker.
>You learn a lot in a very compressed time frame from cutouts.
He will Quickly learn to have used a smoker.
It's illegal to speed too, but all of us are guilty of it.
Did you do the cutout?
I did the cutout. My bee suit worked really well, except I got too hot. I almost finished and had to disrobe. The problem was that I had taped myself up pretty doggone good (no regrets either because bees were all over me.....a smoker wouldn't have helped, believe me). I had multi-layers of pants, shirts, jackets, a batting helmet under veil, etc. THIS IS FLORIDA - NOT RHODE ISLAND. The bees were not playing, I assure you all.
Anyhow, I underestimated how quickly I would heat up. I was in direct sunlight and trying to cut comb out while laying down. I don't care WHO you are or how experienced you are, it would not have been fun. Of course it would have been nice to have help and more equipment, but what's done is done. It was a great experience although a bit hairy.
So anyhow, I got most of the comb and then I also was able to place it all in my top bar hive (hairclips and tie-wraps). I left the hive there last night and will pick it up tonight. I MAY have to go back and clean up any remaining bees left under the home in the next few days. I'm hoping that most of the bees have made their way into my hive where the great majority of the comb is and then tonight they will all be inside. I slap some duct tape over the entrance and in the trunk they go. I already secured the roof with plenty of tape yesterday.
I'll have some videos and photos later.
That was THE big mistake.
I went back over there tonight to pick up my hive that I had placed all the cut-out brood and the doggone thing was completely empty of bees. I got the flashlight out and they ALL were still holding-out underneath the home, starting from scratch.
So now I'm pissed off because all that brood comb I cut out is a complete waste. I'm sure it's all dead by now since there's been no temperature regulation.
I was completely mistaken about them abandoning all that brood. They stayed with the queen and abandoned the brood. My worst fear.
SO anyhow, I contacted a local guy I've dealt with before who has a nice bee vac to see if he wants a crap-load of bees and perhaps a queen with no comb - or at least comb that's not worth too much at this point.
I'm sure he won't be interested.
Is anyone else?
If not, I may try to build a cheap vac tomorrow or I may have to go over there and douse them all with soapy water.
Anyhow, my trap-out I did previously was a complete success, but this was a complete disaster.
Not in a good mood right now - and to make matters worse, my wife who isn't fully supportive of this endeavor wasn't too happy. That explains why I don't even have a bee vac yet.
By the way, I've already been paid $60 bucks for this, so financially it's not a loss......but it's a blow to my pride and a blow to those bees.
> CHARGE a suitable fee for you efforts. Cut out bees only produce a good hive some of the time. I am amazed what newbees are doing for free or peanuts these days.
I can only repeat what I said in post #19. I did a few easy ones last year with one or two helpers for $300 and we came out with about $40 an hour not including the time it took to set up the bees as a hive. Nor any income to cover our vacuum cost etc. I wouldn't drive over there for $60.
Spray with water mist to reduce flying, shake/sweep into a box (get all you can) and tip into the hive, they will keep what they can and clean out the rest. Do this around dusk so you get as many of the foragers as you can. With luck you get the queen too. Then in a few weeks re-queen with a gentler tempered queen and you should be good to go.
Huh..... enough said.
Pat, with this take out you just paid some of the tuition toward a bee take out course in the school of life. With this one under your belt you can, and will, attack the next one from a different viewpoint. Each time you do it you will take something with you to improve your outcome.
When you've done ten or twenty takeouts, and with some experimenting, you will surely start with a little smoke, vacuum, and take precautions to leave some comb in case the queen is hiding. If you missed her, the queen will be on that comb when you check back (just vacuum and be gone with her in the box).
A rudimentary vacuum is easy to improvise. Just take care to control the suction so it does not destroy the bees going through the nozzle and hose. I made one from a tidy cat bucket for a one time use. On that take out, the bees were back in their old location in the morning. The improvised vacuum worked just fine and I started making a robovac soon after.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
EXCELLENT post with good information - especially about leaving some comb that the queen will hang-out on.
I appreciate posts that are encouraging, good info and not too judgmental.
I'd like to say, however, that the trap-out I did was a huge success. In fact, I did an inspection of that hive this morning and the hive is very healthy and the comb is straight on the top bars.
Got an email from new customer this morning - did trap-out this afternoon

I went to Home Depot today and got the parts to build a cheap Bucket Head vac that someone sent me directions to build.
So, in everyone's opinion, are these bees worth trying to salvage?
I'm wondering if the chances are good that I can vacuum many of them up, including the queen, and the rest will follow into the bucket (if I leave the lid off for several hours)?
Or if that doesn't work, bring the bucket of queenless bees to my hive at home that's thriving and place them near the entrance and hopefully the hive takes in the refugees?
Or do I just douse them all with soapy water and be done with it? I'm going to spray the former hive area regardless with soapy water, but didn't know if the bees are worth it at this point.
But I figured if I DO get the queen, I can throw them in an empty hive, almost like a package of bees, and they can start building anew.
Here's a couple tricks. You can use a shop vac. Some guys are going to freak when I say that, but what you have to do is tape off the exhaust. It will cause the motor to get hot, so go in spurts, and make sure you have a foam or paper filter on the inside. A small pad of foam helps, but you're mainly trying to slow down the input. Or you can put other holes in the vac body and cover with screen.
There's a special trick and if it wasn't for my respect for other beekeepers, I would keep it to myself.....
Get a bottle of Fisher's bee quick. Then, when you have a majority of bees in the new hive, go back to the old hive and spray it, and around it.
The queen has been actively laying, and she's too fat to fly. Spray, then pull up a chair and sit back and wait. Usually within 5 minutes, I will see a clump of bees within 25 feet (usually less than 10) of the hive. They will be balled up on the ground acting different than other bees in the area. Walk up, brush lightly, and the queen will be there. She has to get away from the smell, but her fat body, and the asphyxiative qualities of the spray will make it hard for her to fly. Bee quick doesn't kill the bees, just drives them away. I have caught the queen many times. I put her in a cage inside the new hive. That causes the other bees to smell her, and if you can put the new hive near the old location, many cases by the night of day 2, you can walk away with 99.9% of the bees.
I am going to look into getting the Bee Quick from a local supplier here in the next day-or-two.
It's always good to have options. Thanks for the tips.
Anyhow, I built one of those cheap bee vacs today................well, as cheap as one can get by with.
Here are the photos:
The finished product:
These are the two parts that fit together in order to regulate the suction. The one on the left is the actual holding-tank for the bees. The one on the right is the bottom bucket which twists around the other bucket in order to make the suction holes larger or smaller:
Here are those two buckets placed together:
Here's the inside of the holding tank:
Here's the lid you place on the holding tank when the bucket-vac-motor comes off:
I mounted a small piece of towel material in the curve of the intake pipe so the bees won't get beat to death:
If anyone is interested in the directions I used, let me know. I can send you a copy.
The bees will get pretty beat up going down that corregated tubing. If you'll switch it out for something smooth you won't beat up the bees/queen as bad.
You are learning Pat.... ever so slowly, but learning. lol
Let us know how the bee vac works.
Where's the pics and video of the intitial removal? I'm jonesing here already.
Have you planned a way to reduce the air flow? A severe restriction on the out side of the vacuum will overcome the limitation of that tubing. You want enough suction to barely lift the bees as you go. Any more than that minimum suction opens the door to damaged bees.
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...

Checked on the newly relocated hive today. I saw a flurry of activity was around it.Temp was 56 F From the picture does it look like I need to remove the entrance reducer or at least make it smaller so they have a larger entrance.
They are also bringing in pollen. I saw one poor girl laying on the ground dead with pollen bags full. Hate to see that. They are also consuming from the feeder in mass quantities as I saw several bubbles come up in the short few minutes I was there.
For those of you that put a branch in front of th entrance when you relocate can I go ahead and get rid of it?

Pelosi: Stop calling it ObamaCare. It's the Affordable Care Act. Affordable, affordable, affordable.
posted at 2:01 pm on March 20, 2014 by Erika Johnsen
Maybe if you just keep saying it, it will actually come true.
Health industry officials say ObamaCare-related premiums will double in some parts of the country, countering claims recently made by the administration. …
The industry complaints come less than a week after Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sought to downplay concerns about rising premiums in the healthcare sector. She told lawmakers rates would increase in 2015 but grow more slowly than in the past. …
Her comment baffled insurance officials, who said it runs counter to the industry's consensus about next year.
"It's pretty shortsighted because I think everybody knows that the way the exchange has rolled out … is going to lead to higher costs," said one senior insurance executive who requested anonymity.
The insurance official, who hails from a populous swing state, said his company expects to triple its rates next year on the ObamaCare exchange.

We had a wonderful time in the bed and breakfast of aurora and Andres. The breakfast was good, cozy appartment and we have got good tips of restaurants and things to visit. Valencia is a very beautiful city!
very nice room to start your sightseeings in Valencia. Good connections to the rest of the city. The host, Andres, has all the tourist information you could want. Nice and pleasant breakfast, served by Andres, tending to all wishes and needs. A very good opportunity if you want to explore the city and its surroundings for a few days.
Andrés was a magnificent host. I've spend seven days in his apartment and slept on a good bed. The breakfast each morning was very nice with good coffee and fresh fruit.
On day one Andrés gave a lot of information about the city, information about the bus station, the attractions, where to rent bikes and he can recommend a couple good restaurants as well.
I've had a great time and can recommend his accommodation to anyone staying in Valencia.
Best of luck and keep up the good work :)
A very pretty room and a GREAT host! Even before our arrival there, Andres gave us perfect directions how to find his place. The area is very pretty, close to the City of arts and the bars at Ruzaffa. One night we took a taxi back home and it cost only 6 euros so the location is very good!
The room is cozy and there is plenty of space for the clothes and the luggage. In summer it might be a bit hot but there is a ventilator for those who cant stand the heat. The breakfast is also excellent and Andres will make sure to have the best time while staying at his place! Deffinately a place to recommend!
Dear Andres,
We had a very nice stay in your place. You made every morning a great breakfest and we enjoyed this very much! The sleeping room was nice and we felt het home. we hope that many persons wil follow, greetings and once more thanks at both,
Hanny and Yvette
It was a pleasure to stay at Andres and Aurora's house.
Andres and Aurora are very nice and welcoming people.
You'll stay in a nice and quiet room with an excellent and comfortable matress.
The room and bathroom are clean, tidy and well taken care of.
The breakfast is lovely, with fresh fruit.
The apartment is close to the nice neighbourhoods Ruzafa and Ensanche and Ciutat vella and easy to reach from the airport.
Andres was so kind to offer to pick me up at the airport
(for just a negligeable fee extra that covers petrol and parking expenses).
Andres also had some nice tips what to visit (on and off the beaten track).
You'll enjoy your stay, I recommend the place of Andres and Aurora.
Very Nice Familly und very Nice room and all things was Perfect i Would like to be there again .... I Would like to recommend to visit this familly and familly ....good luck by Andres
Good stay with very nice and helpfull couple We drunk wine together and talked a lot about ourselves and Spain.
Breakfast with al lot of fruit was delicious. We liked e quarter, with his common valencian shops and mercado's. We followed Andrews advice for a restaurant and to buy wine.
Andres and Aurora are two fantastic hosts. They're very friendly and more than helpful. They find for us all the informations about the various events in the city and the way to go there.
The house and the bedroom in which we stayed are so beautiful and modern.
They prepared for us a great breakfast with all kind of food.
The apartment is not so far from the Turia Park and neither from the city center and the train station (Valencia Nord).
Obviously, when we will return in Valencia we'd like to stay in their home again.
It is a good accommodation, very friendly hosts. All facilities very clean and proper
If it's no problem for you to share the facilities as the bathroom, kitchen, livingroom etc. you will have a great accommodation for a real good priceof you have any wishes, they will do all for you to arrange it also. When you need some suggestions or tips for valuable and interesting things to see in Valencia and it's surroundings they will tell you all about it.all is possible, very good hosts

We had a Great Time in The Flat of Alessandra. It was our First stay with Windu and everything was perfect. It was very easy going, we arrived late, the area was perfect, Tram to The City, Restaurants and Supermarket. Thanks to Alessandra
For our stay in Milano, we have been looking for well furnitured flat with a good connection to the city as well as to the EXPO ground. Alessandra and Roberto are perfect hosts. Everything was absolutlely perfect. A small, but good equipped kitchen (even some basics like sugar, salt, oil …) a living area, a huge bedroom with enough space for all clothes and a complexly renewed bathroom including towls and washing machine.
Even after malfunction of the air conditioning, it took less than 8 hours until the problem was solved.
For our next journey to Milano, we will definitely come back.
Greetings to Alessandra and Roberto
Daniel and Philip
Very nice apartment, good location in a residential neighborhood not to far away from the center of Milan. Lots of vivid kids in the playground in front - enjoy it or leave it. Nice landlord.
Alessandra and Roberto are very nice people, like visiting friends. Thank you for your kindness. The flat is well situated, specially if you plan to go to the Expo 2015, the train cconnection in pta. Vittoria is perfect.
The apartement is fully renovated. It's well provided with everything, very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed it very much to stay there. We didn't meet Alessandra, but her husband Roberto was very kind and helpful. This place is highly recommendable.

Good resources for testing Java applications
Does anyone know any good resources for learning how to test Java based web applications? Most of my past experience has been with PHP, so I'm unfamiliar with testing java apps. Any links/books/tools/whatever would be helpful!

It is the season to give and if you are stuck on what to get that special someone why not give them the gift of helping others? Wondering how you would wrap a donation? Simply get a nice card and print out the 'about us' page or receipt from the charity. You could make a homemade card with the help of your children so they learn the very best about giving from the heart and helping others.
We envision a world in which all children can pursue a quality education, reach their full potential and contribute to their community and the world.To achieve this goal, we focus on two areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact: literacy and gender equality in education. We work in collaboration with communities and local governments across Asia and Africa to develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the life skills they'll need to succeed in school and beyond.

RiverKids has many programs which include their Bootstraps scholarships that help women commit to vocational training by sponsoring training fees and income replacement so they can concentrate on their training and new jobs. They have seen more than 60 women already graduated into safe jobs in hairdressing, housekeeping, cooking and sewing. We have a waiting list of women eager for a second chance.It's always easier to face the future with friends. The women from Bootstraps are drawn from our Helping Hands clubs. We now have two clubs for young women aged 16 and up who are involved in the sex trade, one club for those with children and one for single sex workers.Gently supported by volunteers and social workers, the Helping Hands Clubs bring them together to talk and bond. Outings to fun places like the waterpark or behind-the-scenes at a restaurant give them a chance to be ordinary young women and see new opportunities. Thanks to the friendships they've formed, they have the support they need to succeed in Bootstraps.
joinFITE is an active philanthropy platform, powered by Kiva.org and championed by Dermalogica, that connects you to women entrepreneurs who need a hand up. By providing women access to small loans [micro-finance], they are able to start or grow a business, bettering themselves, their families, and their communities. joinFITE is a fun and easy way for you to help another when you activate a donation from our partners.
joinFITE is focused on investing in women because we agree with thought leaders like the World Bank and Kofi Annan, that women are tremendous, untapped investments that yield huge returns for entire communities. When a woman develops her own sustainable business, not only does she improve her own situation – but her entire community benefits through a multiplier effect of change.
And yet, investments in women are not yet being made. Women are traditionally more likely to be denied a loan by a bank and often face high levels of financial discrimination. We see tremendous potential to make a significant impact by filling this gap between what women can do and what women need.
Locks of Love  is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. We meet a unique need for children by using donated hair to create the highest quality hair prosthetics.Our mission is to return a sense of self, confidence and normalcy to children suffering from hair loss by utilizing donated ponytails to provide the highest quality hair prosthetics to financially disadvantaged children. The children receive hair prostheses free of charge or on a sliding scale, based on financial need.
*You can donate hair or cash.

Perk Up Bathroom Soaps
I headed on over to The Graphics Fairy and printed out some of my favorite Paris labels. I did not take any before pictures of the soaps but some of them were wrapped in clear plastic and the others were just wrapped in their original packaging.
After printing out my images, I simply folded them along each soap and, gasp, taped them with regular ol' Scotch tape on the backs. I think they look so much prettier now and make for a nice hostess or teacher's gift.

tefal actifry ideas
I bought one mainly for making chips for the kids. I'd been doing potato and kumera chips in the oven but was running out of space, little Peter rabbit has begun to crawl and it's getting into warmer weather here and that oven really heats up. I'm not overly impressed with the build quality for the price but it's competitor the Philips airfryer is smaller and doesn't turn the chips.
Anyway, so far I've done chips in it which are great and quicker than using the oven with a lot less effort for me. Also tried apple wedges which was quite nice too.
Thinking of trying chicken thigh fillets with honey and soy sauce. Though that might be a bit difficult to clean up.
Anyone have other ideas?

did anyone see skip and rob parker debate when simms said this? i didnt know but apparently skip and phil are good friends. skips a big fan of simms on and off the field. i was shocked when skip and rob parker of all people maintained of course eli is elite. a few bad games dont erase all that hes done and what his true level of play is. skip said that knowing simms as well as he does, that simms made this comment bc his ego was hurt knowing eli was about to pass him on the td list and that he is a better qb than simms. he said simms is ultra competitive and that it stings him a little knowing theres a better qb in giants history than him, and thats where his comment was coming from.
i couldnt believe it, the king of knee jerk responses was giving us insight into simms comment. especially couldnt believe that rob parker and skip were so adamant in declarng eli elite when they were some of his harshest critics. i suggest youtubing the clip, very interesting and accurate
This could hit 200 pages!
Players come and go on the Free Agency Merry-Go-Round, but the N.Y. Giants will always be here!
I think that Brady and Peyton, by any measure, are the two best QB's in the league at the moment, and it doesn't bother me one whit for others to have other opinions. After those two, I think there are a few others who are more accurate passers than Eli, but nothing shows me that any others are demonstrably better all-around quarterbacks than Eli. Maybe if I were into fantasy football I'd be more swayed by this year's downturn in some of Eli's stats - but in viewing the total package of what a QB brings to the team, I think Phil was caught off base on this one.

Spons`d Tingles K-Y Intense: The Ultimate Hot-Off
No surprise – the couple that received the most votes among all couples across all hot-offs thus far has been the Brange. Yeah. We all want to be in the room. And now that they've reintroduced black leather into the relationship, their dominance seems even more formidable.
But there's one couple that's yet to be tested.
Descended from the Gods, the highest concentration of gorgessity ever, insanely beautiful, the flawlessness of Halle & Gabriel…
Can the Brange best the Immortals?
It's the Ultimate Hot-Off.
I have spent all morning on this, choosing photographs, daydreaming, comparing their children…
Attractiveness at this level is intoxicating. Not sure which way to go.
You are standing in front of two doors. In each hand a key to each room. But only one choice.
Would you choose to watch two angels blind you with their ridiculous perfection and heavenly lovemaking, or would you choose some action time in the wilderness?

Sawako Kuronuma has had a difficult time fitting in. Some say it's her jet black hair, others say it's her hushed manner of speaking, while still others claim it is due to her name's similarity to Sadako, a character from a popular Japanese horror series. On her first day of high school, Sawako meets the one boy who treats her like a normal girl-Shota Kazehaya. Through his selfless aid, Sawako slowly learns to come out of her shell and even begins to make friends for the first time in her life. However, with a new social life come social pressures. Rumors begin to circulate about her, her friends, and even the kindhearted Kazehaya. As she grows into her new identity, Sawako must learn to deal with such pressures as well as start to understand the unfamiliar feelings inside of her, especially in regards to the boy who made her new start possible.

If you don't eat a lot of fish in your diet, it might be time to start. Tuna, in particular, is low in calories and high in nutrition. Because there are different varieties of tuna and many different ways to prepare the fatty fish, it's easy to include the healthy food in your weekly meal plan.

Yellowfin Tuna Nutrition Facts

Serving Size 1 Serving (100 g)

Per Serving	% Daily Value*

Calories 92

Calories from Fat 9

Total Fat 1g	2%

Saturated Fat 0.1g	0%

Polyunsaturated Fat 0.1g

Monounsaturated Fat 0.1g

Total Carbohydrate 0g	0%

Protein 20g

Vitamin A 0% · Vitamin C 0%

Calcium 1% · Iron 5%

*Based on a 2,000 calorie diet

The nutrition in your tuna meal will depend on what kind of tuna you buy and how you prepare the fish. Tuna steaks that you buy from the meat and seafood section of the grocery store provide different nutrition than the packaged or canned tuna that you find in the aisles.

A typical tuna steak is usually much larger than a single serving (3 ounces or 100 grams). A medium tuna steak cooked without fat (measuring approximately 6.75 x 2.5 inches) provides 195 calories, 42 grams of protein, 1 grams of carbohydrate, 2 grams of fat and 525 milligrams of sodium.

A medium tuna steak cooked with butter or oil provides 236 calories, 41 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbohydrate, 7 grams of fat and 511 milligrams of sodium.

A three-ounce serving of canned tuna packed in water provides 73 calories, 17 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbohydrate, 1 gram of fat and 210 milligrams of sodium.

A three-ounce serving of canned tuna packed in oil provides 169 calories, 25 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbohydrate, 7 gram of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat, and 354 milligrams of sodium.

Tuna is a low carb, high protein food. Tuna is considered a "fatty" fish but it does not provide saturated fat unless you cook it in oil or butter. Tuna is a source of healthy polyunsaturated fat, specifically omega-3 fatty acids.

Health Benefits of Tuna

The omega-3 fatty acids in tuna promote good heart health. According to the American Heart Association, these fatty acids can help decrease triglyceride levels, decrease the risk of dangerous arrhythmias, slow the production of atherosclerotic plaque and slightly lower blood pressure.

Because omega-3 fatty acids provide so many benefits, and because fish is a very good source of the fatty acid, the AHA recommends that you consume fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times a week.

Tuna provides omega-3 fatty acids in different amounts:

Bluefin tuna provides 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids per three-ounce serving

White albacore (canned) tuna provides 500 to 1,000 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids per three-ounce serving

Light tuna (canned) provides 200 to 500 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids per three-ounce serving

Skipjack wild tuna provides 200 to 500 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids per three-ounce serving

Wild yellowfin tuna provides 200 milligrams or less of omega-3 fatty acids per three-ounce serving

To make your meal more healthy, choose a light preparation method for your fish. Tuna can be grilled, baked or seared with very little added fat. It also makes a great addition to a nutritious salad.

Tuna Salad Nutrition

Now that you know the benefits of tuna, you're probably feeling great about your tuna salad sandwich. Unfortunately, however, not all tuna salads are healthy. Some provide unhealthy (saturated) fat and can be very high in calories.

One cup of tuna salad made with mayonnaise provides 404 calories, 22 grams of protein, 6 grams of carbohydrate, 5 grams of sugar, 33 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat and 892 milligrams of sodium.

If you put your tuna salad on two slices of bread, add 150 calories, 26 grams of carbohydrate and another 230 milligrams of sodium.

So should you skip the tuna salad and eat a leaner sandwich instead? Not necessarily. According to USDA data, the salad also provides 29 milligrams of omega 3 EPA and 212 milligrams of omega-3 DHA. So keep it on your menu but use lower calorie ingredients.

Try using low-fat Greek yogurt or plain nonfat yogurt instead of mayonnaise and add plenty of crunchy vegetables for flavor. You can also use avocado or olive oil instead of mayonnaise.

Choosing and Storing Tuna

Fish experts suggest that you buy the freshest tuna available. Ask your fish monger what kind of fresh tuna is available. Ideally the tuna is kept in one piece (the full loin) and cut according to your specifications so that it stays fresh.

You can also ask the following questions.

When was it caught? The fresher the better. Fish may remain edible for five days after it is caught, but it may not taste as fresh.

How was it stored? The way that the tuna is stored and delivered to the market will have an impact on the taste. It should be chilled immediately after catching, and kept cold through delivery and to the market.

How does it look? How does it smell? If the fish has a bad odor, it is probably not fresh. Look for a moist texture with clean cut edges. Tuna color should range from pink to a deep red depending on the variety that you buy. There should be no browning near the edges (if it was pre-sliced into tuna steaks) and no apparent gapping or flaking in the meat.

Refrigerate your tuna as soon as you get it home. Keep it in the coldest part of the refrigerator and use your fresh fish within one to two days. Tuna can be frozen. When you are ready to use it, thaw your tuna steak in the refrigerator—never at room temperature.

Healthy Ways to Prepare Tuna

There are countless ways to include tuna in your meals for a boost of heart-healthy nutrition. Top your green salad with tuna or wrap tuna and vegetables in a whole wheat tortilla for a delicious wrap. Many smart cooks also enjoy a half tuna steak for dinner and then throw the other half on a bed of greens or brown rice for a meal the following day.

If you enjoy cooking, try any of these recipes to take advantage of tuna's health benefits:

Heartburn-Friendly Tuna Noodle Casserole

Tuna Melt Stuffed Mushrooms

text: Based on our current roster, and assuming that Watkins can actually play, that one or two of our young receivers really shine, I would speculate that our 2007 draft priorities might now be exactly what many fans have been clamoring about. #1 - Offensive Line. Even if Kosier, Proctor, Adams, McQuistan, Colombo, Fabini, Johnson, and Gurode have good years, Rivera is up there in years and we should be looking for a guard early in the draft. 1st round is probably too high, but definitely by 2nd round. #2 - QB. I don't know what Bill has on his mind for a 3rd string QB, but why not pick an upper-round talent here? #3 - NT. Probably need more depth here. Not sure how easy it is to draft a guy to play the 3-4 NT position since so few colleges play 3-4, though. #4 - CB. A. Glenn is older, and we need some fresh meat to push the youngsters. #5 - RB. ?????? Depends on how Julius does this year. We look to be set now at most of the 3-4 defensive positions. I think Elam will be a good player for us, and Keith Davis could play the SS position if he had to. Thoughts?

Genre: Realistic fiction
Number of Pages: 154
What's the basic story-line?
Amber Brown's mom is getting married. Amber is excited, but telling her dad is not so easy. He keeps making snide comments about Amber's stepdad, Max, and this annoys Amber. Her mom wants a small wedding, but Amber and Max want something huge. Which one will they have? There are ups and downs on the path to the wedding. Will Amber's mom waltz down the aisle?
Are the characters believable? Explain.
Yes, they are. Amber is just like any other girl, and her family and friends remind me of my family and friends. Also, Amber has problems that a typical kid might have.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate this book?
I would give the book a 9 because the authors did a great job explaining how Amber felt. Sometimes I felt as if I was in the story!
