Our 100-day semester program is place-based and experiential, immersing students in both the natural and cultural landscape of South Eleuthera. Consequently, each course includes a field component. In the applied scientific research course, students collect and analyze data for a wide spectrum of investigations, including fisheries research, sustainable energy and food production systems.
The crux of Humanities coursework stems from cultural immersion experiences throughout the semester. In addition to opportunities for cross-cultural dialogue with Bahamian students at Deep Creek Middle School, Island School students spend considerable time learning from residents of Eleuthera's settlements, small towns of fewer than 1,000 people.
Rounding out the semester are the physical and outdoor education programs. Not only do students spend five mornings each week training for either a half-marathon or four mile open-ocean swim, but also they participate in kayak or sailing expeditions and earn PADI's Open Water Diver certification. During their second, 8-day expedition, students have the opportunity to reflect on their experience during a 48-hour wilderness solo experience.
Ultimately, our rigorous program provides a transformative educational experience for our students. Daily life on campus allows Island Schoolers to gain deep understandings of leadership, sustainability, community, and sense of place without the distractions of cell phones and internet, living closely with peers and faculty alike. Our admissions process is competitive; selected students demonstrate solid academic performance, leadership potential, and a high degree of self-motivation.
The Island School mission for creating a better world through education is both bold and tangible- and the effort they are exerting is creating clear results. A School can be a model of what we want to do in the world. It is a at a scale small enough to get our mind around, yet big enough to be significant.
- Dr. David Orr, Professor of Environmental Studies, Oberlin College
We find that the students who attend The Island School return to us with increased environmental awareness and enhanced problem solving skills. For many, the experience seems
nothing short of transformational.
- Robert P. Henderson, Head of Noble and Greenough School
The Island School Summer Term is an abbreviated, 30-day intensive version of the Fall / Spring semester program. Through a rigorous course of study that includes field work in local ecosystems, explorations of local settlements and the socioeconomic impacts of development, and dynamic interaction with campus' sustainable systems, Summer Term students grapple with how communities – on an island in The Bahamas and beyond – can live most sustainably. The Summer Term curriculum invites students to think about resources upon which we rely:
Students will be introduced to marine research at the Cape Eleuthera Institute, engaging in studies crucial to understanding our planet's ocean ecosystems. Every participant will leave with a greater understanding of, and admiration for the world around them, inspired to make their home community more sustainable. Many students will earn a high school science credit in Human Ecology. Students will be asked to complete written and oral assessments related to their nightly reading, field research and class discussions. At the same time, students will be actively involved – both physically and intellectually – in their learning experience. Educational opportunities during the day range from surveying mangrove creeks to exploring the land surrounding campus and learning about local plants and using them in their next meal to studying coral reef ecosystems while SCUBA diving in Marine Ecology class.
Students' routine includes the same physical challenge that Island School semester students embrace: five mornings each week of training for a culminating endurance event of running and swimming, the famed, 'Monster Run-Swim.' Additionally, Summer Term students will venture out in kayaks and experience a 24-hour solo in order to reflect on their learning on Eleuthera.
In addition to sailing across Exuma Sound, this four-week journey involves hands-on scientific research that will make a substantial impact on policy and conservation efforts in the Bahamas. Throughout their 19 days at sea, students will develop sailing and navigation skills in a multitude of open water conditions. This training will include understanding points of sail, weather patterns and tidal effects. On board, everyone will be accountable for the success of the sail with rotating skipper responsibilities. The voyage will navigate the Exuma Sound, visiting remote islands and collecting important data on keystone species.
Sailboat: Out on the water, the boat acts as a closed system. Students will learn about the importance of reducing and reusing the resources allotted on the boat. This mobile classroom will also teach students many lessons in sustainability and beyond.
During the program, students will be assigned to one of four on-going research projects with the Cape Eleuthera Institute (CEI). Under the tutelage of head researchers, students will gain the tools to collect data independently across study sites throughout the Exuma Islands. This data will be compared to baseline data collected around Eleuthera and ultimately presented to the CEI community by the students upon their return to campus.

Less is more. The emphasis is on understanding and applying
ideas and skills rather than covering content.
Students are active participants in the learning process.
The classroom is a true seminar where everyone is sharing
information. The teacher is the facilitator and guide, not the
omniscient lecturer.
The learning process is accelerated when students are
pushed outside of their comfort zones.
Challenge begets positive growth.
A focus for all disciplines is connection to place.
Students must be immersed in the environment
and challenged to articulate what they sense.
The academic work has real world application.
There is an actual job to be done that raises the bar
beyond the quest for a final grade.
Assessment is an ongoing process, allowing time for
revision and clear explanation of expectations. The
skill-based assessment process transcends disciplines
and fosters a more in-depth learning journey.
There must be time for digestion and reflection.
The teacher can and should be prepared to participate
in assignments and provide models and rubrics.
The classroom must be an open arena where students
feel safe challenging ideas, where there is consistent
faculty peer review. The classroom door is always open.
Fosters a journey of self-discovery through exploring interpretations of the human experience in various texts, and cultivating their own voice through an intensive focus on writing development. Check out the bi-annual community literary magazine, Tides.
Encourages students to develop a personal relationship with the landscape, provides them with the tools to become keen observers of their surroundings, and requires them to view the natural world both as the canvas and the material for their artwork.
Allows students to apply concepts from multiple disciplines taught at The Island School to field-based projects of local and regional significance. Students work collaboratively with research advisors at the Cape Eleuthera Institute to address environmental challenges in The Bahamas. If you would like to learn more about the students' research projects, click here. If you would like to view students' research posters, click here.
Focuses on the subjective experience of history by encouraging students to learn from Bahamians directly during immersion experiences including community explorations and community outreach at Deep Creek Middle School.
Centers on one complex question: What does it mean to live on an island? Investigating this question leads the students to explore the manifold ways that their lives interact with the natural world and how these interactions, in turn, affect the environment of South Eleuthera, their home communities, and the wider world around them.
Uses SCUBA diving and free-diving to explore the waters and near-shore ecosystems surrounding Cape Eleuthera. Students use weekly dives to develop ecological literacy in natural history as well as the curriculum requisite dive skills that support these excursions.
Provides students with opportunities to build a fundamental understanding of the statistical and mathematical analysis that can help them better comprehend the world around them. Each student will have a chance to employ acquired skills in their Applied Science Research course.

@ DDStudios – would you mind sending me the link to the theme you're talking about?
DD, all you do is complain and whine. Please just leave the forums alone for a while and try dealing with support directly.
DD, all you do is complain and whine. Please just leave the forums alone for a while and try dealing with support directly.
Dude , why do you even read that forum ? honnestly ?
Would that be possible to have a ''author only'' forum ?
And how could you possibly understand what im talking about , if you dont work to sell stuff here on envato , your opinion doesnt weight a thing
@ DDStudios – would you mind sending me the link to the theme you're talking about?
@ DDStudios
1) Thanks for sending the link.
2) We do do our job but nobody is perfect.
3) The reason you shouldn't post about stuff like this in the forums is because you may be wrongly accusing someone and that may be damaging for the author. If you suspect a template is using assets illegally you need to report it to the support staff so they can look into it further and take the necessary steps from there. You never know, the author may have obtained permission to use these images.
4) Several members feel your forum posts are not constructive or positive and when expressed, you attack them back. Be aware that this doesn't work towards building a positive reputation and in turn diminishes the weight your opinion holds here.
- -
Everyone, if you see something that seems suspicious, please report it to the support staff and refrain from posting it in the forums. The support staff is the proper channel to deal with those issues, not the forums.
Let's all try to stay positive and only post constructive criticisms on the forums. Everyone is always happier that way.
LOL , are you serious ?
Yes – completely serious.
.. the thing is .. I WANT to use image like that .. and they always tell me I cant
Sure, because you don't have permission. Go through the proper channels for image use and like everyone else, you will be able to have great stock content that isn't limited to the Envato asset library. Again, get permission and you won't be denied.
.. and I KEEP SEEING THEME ! .. so .. why would I not talk about it ?
Because it's self righteous, catty, and immature the way you are addressing it – again, as mentioned, the proper channel is through Support.
.. if they would do their job , I would not write about that ..
Seriously, don't you have more to do than police this community ensuring global fairness? Put the same amount of effort into your work and you'll do well
until then , im gonna write about it EVERYTIME I see picture people cant use.
See above – that is just ridiculous when its obviously not the proper way to resolve the issue if you care about anything else besides ruffling feathers.
Thanks for your opinion
You're welcome…
Dude , why do you even read that forum ? honnestly ?Because I'm trying to be a contributing member to this forum and community
And how could you possibly understand what im talking about , if you dont work to sell stuff here on envato , your opinion doesnt weight a thingGiven the simple fact that I'm a customer purchasing things from you, my opinion should matter a hell of a lot to an author. But jr already explained this.
I'm afraid in this case it's actually your opinion that is becoming more and more weightless.
This kind of post annoys me do not post more stuff like this DDStudios is very frustrating, and we all know what theme is. The fact is that the use of images is very delicate, even Envato made an update to the assets library read this excerpt:
When using the Envato asset library, authors will continue to be free to use screenshots of Envato websites in their previews to demonstrate screenshot use in their product. However, in the purchased file, please do not include Envato screenshots. Instead, authors are requested to use a placeholder shape or box.
So if you want to use one image use it, if the reviewers reject the template then use another, but please stop this kind of posts.
And g_gilmore of course your opinion count!!!
Ok i'm done writing on this forum , english is not my first language and I can't really express myself in a good way so maybe everything come out a little rude. Thanks guy ! Sorry if I was rude.

The nation of Pakistan is an economic disaster with millions of people daily struggling to find food to eat, let alone a decent job. So, what is an important agenda for Pakistan's clerics–nudity! Veena Malik, a Pakistan model, does most of her work in India since whatever a model does in Pakistan is bound to offend someone for some reason. She agreed to pose "boldly" for an Indian firm on their web site. FHM India took a photo of her naked and in the picture her arm had the initials, ISI, the Pakistan secret intelligence.
News that a PAKISTAN MODEL had posed nude in an INDIAN media outlet left clerics with only one response– any model who poses nude for the people of India is insulting the people of her native land. Cleric Abdul Qawi denounced this shameless hussy for "shaming Muslims." I am lost, it is her body, she is not posing in Pakistan, and actually, she didn't even wish to pose in the nude, but "boldly."
There is fear in many societies of the world that pictures of nude bodies somehow shame God. As I recall, God in creating Adam and Eve left them in the nude. It was Adam and Eve who covered their bodies, not God.

Are you trying to form another brass to 7.65x53? I tried to form 7.65x53 from .30-06 brass using Lee dies, NEVER got them to chamber. Bought a set of Lyman dies and formed several hundred with no problems.
If I were to make a guess as to the problem I'd say the dies.

Torii Hunter belted a three-run homer and Howie Kendrick hit a solo shot as the Los Angeles Angels held on for a 4-3 road victory over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday.
Vernon Wells recorded two hits for the Angels, who remained 3 1/2 games behind the Texas Rangers in the American League West.
Hunter gave Los Angeles a 3-0 advantage in the opening inning with his 19th home run of the season. Kendrick increased the lead in the third with a two-out blast off Charlie Furbush (3-7), who allowed four runs in six innings en route to his fourth loss in five starts.
Ervin Santana (11-9) posted his eighth win in nine decisions as he yielded three runs over 6 2/3 frames. Santana, who walked a season-high seven, had his streak of starts with at least seven innings pitched snapped at eight.
Jordan Walden worked a perfect ninth for his 27th save in 36 opportunities.
Dustin Ackley hit a two-run single and Ichiro Suzuki notched two hits and an RBI for Seattle, which has lost five of seven.
Angels shortstop Maicer Izturis, who was hit by a pitch in the first inning, left the game after 2 1/2 frames with a leg injury.

Fifty and fabulous? No doubt about it! Niagara University Theatre is set to celebrate its 50th anniversary season with an exciting array of entertainment options to suit a variety of tastes.
Steven Braddock, director of Niagara University Theatre said, "We are extremely honored to dedicate the upcoming 2013-2014 season to our late director emeritus, Brother Augustine Towey, C.M., Ph.D, who passed away in November of 2012. In honor of Brother Augustine, one of Niagara University Theatre's founders and the creative force behind NU's theatre program for more than 45 years, we will be pulling out all the stops to offer two hit musicals (Off-Broadway's Bat Boy: The Musical and the award-winning Broadway production, Curtains); one romantic and one slapstick comedy (The Philadelphia Story and The Comedy of Errors); two thought-provoking dramas (The Secret Life of Girls and A Piece of My Heart); our annual student-directed Short Play Festival; and the NU Players' production of The Shape of Things.
"The entire season will be produced in the renovated William P. and Marie Leary Theatre in the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre – with the one exception of our annual collaboration with the Castellani Art Museum, where an art exhibit is especially curated for a readers' theater production.
"While many area theaters focus on producing one type of theater, here at NU, our season of theater is about variety and tremendous value. With our $3.1 million renovation three years behind us, our first-class facility can offer audience amenities that add to the entertainment experience: a circular driveway drop off, a computerized box office, an elevator, air conditioning, listening devices, comfortable seats with arm and leg room, and an audience lounge for pre-show and intermission, complete with a photographic mural spotlighting NU Theatre productions from the 1960s through 2010. We invite theatregoers from across Western New York and Southern Ontario to join us for our 50th year, featuring theatre majors from across the country. These students work under the direction of our award-winning faculty, comprised of a professional team of directors/actors, a choreographer, a stage combat expert, vocal instructors/musicians, a costume/make-up designer, a costume technologist and scenic and lighting designers."
From Oct. 3 through Oct. 7, NU Theatre will present The Secret Life of Girls by Linda Daugherty and directed by adjunct professor Amanda Lytle Sharpe. This frank, unflinching, timely play spotlights the devastation caused by bullying in the form of gossiping, using friendship as a weapon, name-calling, exclusion, spreading rumors, forming cliques and manipulation. Based upon interviews with girls on the giving and receiving end, the play highlights the impact of "cyberbullying," and is by turns both humorous and heartbreaking. A penetrating look into teenage angst, this exceptional family event offers the opportunity for insightful dialogue following each and every performance.
The Secret Life of Girls will be on stage in the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3, and Monday, Oct. 7, and at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4, and Saturday, Oct. 5, with 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday, Oct. 5, and Sunday, Oct. 6.
Just in time for Halloween, from Oct. 31 through Nov. 10, NU Theatre will present Bat Boy: The Musical by Keythe Farley, Brian Flemming and Laurence O'Keefe. The production will be directed by associate professor/associate director of NU Theatre Doug Zschiegner, with music direction by music adjunct Jason Bravo and choreography by associate professor/choreographer Terri Filips Vaughan. Ripped straight from tabloid headlines, Bat Boy: The Musical is a love story with a wicked bite, set to an outstanding pop-rock score. The production won the awards for best Off-Broadway musical including the Lucille Lortel Award, two Richard Rodgers Awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Outer Critics Circle Award in 2001.
Rescued from a West Virginia cave and taken in by the compassionate wife of the local veterinarian, our pointy-eared hero quickly learns to speak and act in civilized ways – even falling in love with his mentor's daughter. But would you let your child go out with him? Fast-paced and hilarious, this quirky cult satire offers clever musical numbers, a hilarious plot, surprising twists and a lesson in the agony of being different. Bat Boy: The Musical will be on stage in the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, and Thursday, Nov. 7, and at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1, Saturday, Nov. 2, Friday, Nov. 8, and Saturday, Nov. 9. Also, 2 p.m. matinees will be presented on Saturday, Nov. 2, Sunday, Nov. 3 (with post-show discussion), Saturday, Nov. 9, and Sunday, Nov. 10. The play contains adult subject matter and language.
From Dec. 5 through Dec. 15, NU Theatre will present Philip Barry's sparkling romantic comedy, The Philadelphia Story, which inspired the 1940 film of the same name starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. This charming production will be directed by Steve Braddock, director of Niagara University Theatre. Set in 1939, the story opens on an opulent estate where a wedding is to take place. Barry's comedy centers on a beautiful, sophisticated, wealthy socialite whose wedding is complicated by the simultaneous arrival of her dashing ex-husband and an attractive journalist. Goodness! What's a girl to do? The production is on stage in the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5, and Thursday, Dec. 12, and at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6, Saturday, Dec. 7, Friday, Dec. 13, and Saturday, Dec. 14. Matinees will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, Sunday, Dec. 8 (with post-show discussion), Saturday, Dec. 14, and Sunday, Dec. 15.
What's there to do after the holiday season ends? From Jan. 17 through Jan. 25, NU Theatre's annual Short Play Festival makes for a fascinating dose of theatre – and a great entertainment bargain. Three cycles of 10-minute plays written by various playwrights will be presented over two consecutive weekends. Comedies, dramas and everything in between – our debut of nearly two dozen student directors produces a smorgasbord of professionally published 10-minute plays. If one production is not to your taste, you only have to wait 10 minutes before the next one. (With some plays, adult situations and language may be an appropriate warning to anticipate.)
The Short Play Festival will be on stage in the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 17 (Cycle A), and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18 (Cycle A); on Saturday, Jan. 18, at 7:30 p.m. (Cycle B) and 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19 (Cycle B); and at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 24 (Cycle C), and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 25 (Cycle C).
From Feb. 13 to Feb. 16, NU Theatre,in collaboration with the Castellani Art Museum, will present A Piece of My Heart by Shirley Lauro, directed by adjunct professor Amanda Lytle Sharpe. This readers' theatre production will be performed at the Castellani Art Museum amidst a specially curated art exhibit.
Inspired by Keith Walker's heart-wrenching oral history of the same title, this is a powerful, gritty, true drama of women who were courageous enough to walk into hell. A Piece of My Heart is a compelling piece about making the choice to serve in the Vietnam War and the lifelong consequences of that decision. The play contains adult subject matter and language.
A Piece of My Heart will be staged at the Castellani Art Museum on the NU campus at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 13, and at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 14, and Saturday, Feb. 15. A 2 p.m. matinee will be held at the museum on Sunday, Feb. 16.
From Feb. 21 through Feb. 23, the NU Players will present an all student-designed and directed production of The Shape of Things by Neil LaBute. How far would one go for one's art? What would one sacrifice for love? This is a thought-provoking piece that challenges our most deeply entrenched ideas about the two.
A modern version of Adam's seduction by Eve, LaBute's play is an intense and often unsettling study of the uses of power and the stretching of ethical boundaries within human relationships. The play contains adult subject matter and language.
The Shape of Things will be on stage in the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21, and Saturday, Feb. 22. In addition, a 2 p.m. matinee will be presented on Saturday, Feb. 22 (with post-show discussion) and on Sunday, Feb. 23.
From March 20 to March 30, Niagara University Theatre will present William Shakespeare's rollicking classic, The Comedy of Errors, directed by artist-in-residence (stage combat)/recruiter Adriano Gatto. This timeless masterpiece features a time-honored recipe for hilarity: mistaken identity, wild mishaps and slapstick humor. Take two sets of identical twins (separated as children). Fold in a jealous wife, her charming sister and an amorous kitchen wench. Mix with a generous variety of eccentric characters. Let simmer for two hours, stirring constantly. Serve to those with an appetite for giggles, guffaws and belly laughs.
The Comedy of Errors will be on stage in the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 20, and Thursday, March 27. The production will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 21, Saturday, March 22, Friday, March 28, and Saturday, March 29. In addition, 2 p.m. matinees are on stage Saturday, March 22, Sunday, March 23 (with post-show discussion) and Saturday, March 29, and Sunday, March 30.
And talk about ending the 50th anniversary season with a bang! From April 24 through May 4, Niagara University Theatre will present the award winning John Kander, Fred Ebb and Rupert Holmes murder mystery musical, Curtains. NU Theatre director Steve Braddock will direct the production, while associate professor Terri Filips Vaughan is choreographer. NU proudly rekindles its longtime relationship with the works of John Kander and Fred Ebb with this romantic 1959 era spectacle – a bright, brassy homage to musical theatre, with a twist! At the Boston opening of a new Broadway-bound musical, the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage. A local detective, a musical theatre fan, endeavors to solve both the mystery and the show's problems, while simultaneously courting the ingénue. Talk about multitasking!
Curtains was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Musical in 2007 and it won the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical the same year. The production will be on stage in the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 24, and Thursday, May 1. The musical will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 25, Saturday, April 26, and Friday, May 2. In addition, 2 p.m. matinees will be held on Saturday, April 26, Sunday, April 27 (with post-show discussion) and Sunday, May 4.
On Saturday, May 3, the Friends of Niagara University Theatre will host the 29th Annual Friends of Niagara University Theatre Gala, including a 4 p.m. production of Curtains at the Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, and a cocktail reception, dinner and silent and live auction at the Niagara Falls Country Club. Tickets for the gala are $150 per person. For more information about the gala, please contact Niagara University Theatre at 716.286.8483 or 716.286.8480.
During the summer of 2014, NU Theatre will once again present free children's theatre for the community. Our N.U.R.T. (Niagara University Repertory Theatre) troupe will present a rotating repertoire of children's stories during July and August. Suitable for children ages three through 10, the N.U.R.T. troupe will perform in the air-conditioned Leary Theatre within the Elizabeth Ann Clune Center for Theatre, Clet Hall, and in the Western New York community. Locations, dates and times for performances will be announced in the spring.

Pete Doherty has been thrown out of a Thai rehab clinic for disrupting the other patients' treatment.
The Libertines rocker booked himself into secluded jungle clinic The Cabin, in Chiang Mai, three weeks ago in an attempt to finally kick his addictions to heroin and crack cocaine.
But the musician - who was previously in a relationship with Kate Moss - was having such a negative effect on the other people in the Far East facility counsellors forced him to leave halfway through his treatment course yesterday.
Programme director Alastair Mordey - a former addict himself - said: "Pete was discharged today for therapeutic reasons.
"It is important to maintain the integrity of the treatment programme for the other clients to have a good chance of recovery. Pete understands this and therefore the reasons behind why we have asked him to leave.
"Although our parting with Pete is amicable, we are of course disappointed to see him leave. We hope some of the things he has learnt here will help him in the future and look forward to the day when Pete decides to consider recovery again."
After flying into Bangkok, Doherty is now believed to be preparing to travel back to Heathrow and he is expected to land at the London airport at 7am today.
Although the 33-year-old songwriter - who was escorted to rehab by his manager Andy Boyd - initially responded well to his £7,200-a-month treatment, which included yoga and outdoor activities such as elephant trekking, his behaviour and attitude to the course rapidly deteriorated in the last few days.
It had been hoped the latest attempt to get Doherty clean would rid him of his drug demons once and for all.
The 'Can't Stand Me Now' singer has a long-standing history of addiction and has been to rehab numerous times, checking into a clinic in Thailand in 2003, rehab in north London's Southgate area in 2006 and Clouds House rehab centre in Wiltshire in 2007.
The troubled star has also been in jail numerous times and was most recently sentenced to six months in prison for possessing cocaine in May 2011.

High Fiber Diet
If you find that you have trouble getting enough fiber in your diet, here's your plan.Top Rated Diet Shakes of 2017
Fiber has been long heralded for its positive contribution to your body's health. And while a lot of diet's recommend consuming healthy amount of fiber, it's now thought that Fiber itself could be the answer to your weight loss struggle.
With carb- and low-fat diets catching most of dieters attention, people lose sight of the importance fiber plays in our diets. Fiber can certainly benefit weight loss and your health in general, but some question it's ability to stand alone. A supplement like Hoodia, a natural herb known to aid dieters by staving-off hunger, would be a fine accompaniment to the Fiber Diet.
Plants are the source of fiber. When you eat fruits and vegetables, there are parts of the food that your body cannot digest, like the stem. These particles retain water as they move through your system. This trait actually aids in digestion and the health of your digestive system, as these particles aren't absorbed by the body and instead help carry food and toxins out as waste. High-fiber diets have been linked with managing diabetes and colon cancer.
Do You Know the Best Diet Shakes of 2017?
- High fiber meals will help you feel full and lose weight.
- Most healthy diets will recommend a healthy fiber intake anyway.
Lack of fiber in our diets is more common in the U.S. than in other parts of the world. Americans are heavy consumers of processed foods and overlook keeping fiber-rich foods in their diets. Most don't realize that incorporating more fiber in your diet, encouraged to be about 25 grams each day, is pretty simple - fresh produce, beans and any whole-grain product. A breakfast of whole-grain cereal with bananas and strawberries is delicious, filling and meets the Fiber Diet criteria.
Fiber becomes bloated when it's combined with water during digestion. Fiber-rich foods also contribute to maintaining blood sugar levels. Therefore, the fiber fills our stomach, giving us a lasting feeling of fullness. You're less likely to be hungry soon after a meal and reach for unhealthy snacks.
Not only will a high-fiber diet contribute to weight loss, but it also maintains healthy digestion and reduces risk of colon cancer.EXERCISE
The book, Dr. Tooshi's High Fiber Diet, has a chapter on exercise, including cardio and resistance training.CONCLUSION
You will lose weight quickly and safely with the High Fiber Diet. Most other healthy diets will recommend enough fiber anyway. But this plan is as good as any.Common Misspellings

High fiber diets are great because they help your body get back to a regular cycle. body cleansing is super important!
Texas, I have been on this diet for a while now and has treated me quite well. It was a bit hard to get in to the beans and whole-grains at first but now I love them.
After visiting my doctor he mentioned that I need more fiber in my diet - this diet suits me perfectly. I am just starting it now and will post back on some results.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hi there and thanks for your question.
Most dogs, chihuahuas included should be able to live just fine at 60 degrees. However, the dog should be able to indicate to you whether he or she is too cold. If you notice shivering or seeking heat (i.e. the heating vents, blankets, etc.) then you may want to either turn up the heat or get a jacket for him or her.
I hope this information helps! If you have more questions regarding this problem, just hit reply. If I am online I will respond right away. Otherwise I will respond as soon as I come online again. Or, if my answer is sufficient, then please hit accept. Thanks!

Spend wherever whenever and have a good day out
In public so it's more comfortable and there is less pressure.Perhaps a museum or walk around a park, maybe grab a bite to eat.
I'm a pretty simple girl, a picnic or bite to eat and a walk in the park sounds like a good time to me.
Somewhere in Chicago that neither of us have been so we can have a first experience together.
I love the outdoors and water sports or play so we should do that! Itll give me the chance to see you in a barhing suit. Sopping wet! Dripping. Chest beaded up with pearl drops of water !

Australian Open: Defending champion Novak Djokovic sees off Lukas Lacko
Novak Djokovic made a winning start to his Australian Open defence after a straight-forward victory over Lukas Lacko.
Last Updated: 13/01/14 11:39am
Djokovic, who beat Andy Murray in the 2013 final at Melbourne Park, was simply too strong for Lacko as he powered to a 6-3 7-6 (7-2) 6-1 win.
With new coach Boris Becker watching on at Rod Laver Arena, there were no alarms for the Serbian, who is bidding to become the second man after Roy Emerson to win four straight titles here.
Djokovic was certainly not at his sharpest, though, on a stage he has made his own. Having broken 96th-ranked Lacko to lead 4-1, Djokovic's normally ultra-solid backhand broke down and he handed the advantage back.
However, Lacko could not hold his own serve and it was Djokovic who took the opening set.
The second was a real tussle lasting 57 minutes, and the Rod Laver Arena crowd really appreciated the efforts of Lacko in keeping his illustrious opponent at bay.
There were still too many errors from the second seed - 30 in all - but he stepped it up during the tie-break and then raced through the deciding set.
It was a 22nd straight win in Melbourne for Djokovic, who meets Argentina's Leonardo Mayer in the second round.
Jerzy Janowicz was given a real fright before overcoming Jordan Thompson in five sets.
Thompson, the 19-year-old home hope, had won the first two sets but the 20th seed came storming back to win 1-6 4-6 6-4 6-2 6-1.
No 30 seed Dmitry Tursunov is also through to the second round after he cruised past Michael Russell 6-2 6-2 6-3.

Ancient Light (original 2012; edition 2012)
by John Banville
Work details
Ancient Light by John Banville (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is the story of Alexander and two major points in his life. In 1950s Ireland when he has an affair with his best friends mother and 50 years later when as an aging actor he reflects on his life so far. Interspersed is how we cope with the loss of someone close to us as the protagonist has lost his daughter and tries hard to make sense of it.
I really enjoyed this book, the first I've read by this author. His style is very evocative of the time he portrays and lends itself well to the story.
It's one of those books where nothing seems to happen while at the same time everything is changing around him. The long chapters can at times be too long but on the whole lend themselves to the narrative as they give you time to really get into the scene described. The way the story changes between the time frames is seamlessly done.
I really liked the ending which seemed to complete the story
This book would I feel appeal to those who liked 'Remains of the Day' and 'The Reader'
I heartily recommend this and will be looking for others by the author
"The ancient light of galaxies...light takes time to reach your eyes...everywhere we look, everywhere, we are looking into the past." I was uncomfortable with the past as it was portrayed in Alex Cleave's flashbacks, even with the final revelation of Mrs. Gray's situation. Alex's recollections of the past were distorted, at least according to the witness of the final rendezvous, and lacked any cohesion with the more contemporary narrative about his daughter and the actress. However, it may have seemed disjointed to me as I had not read the first two books of the trilogy this book concludes. I received this book free from Goodreads First Reads program.
Beautiful, gorgeous writing. I read words I'd never heard of before and thankfully read this book on my Kindle, many words were words used in the 19th century. Loved it! As I was reading I thought to myself - where does he come up with these words? Wonderful prose, lovely story.
Beautiful, gorgeous writing. I read words I'd never heard of before and thankfully read this book on my Kindle, many words were words used in the 19th century. Loved it! As I was reading I thought to myself - where does he come up with these words? Wonderful prose, lovely story.
I was impressed with how well the book flowed, considering that it's written in alternating time frames. The plot is beautifully layered, the use of language textural and rich. The ending surprised and delighted me.
I'm not sure how Alex's daughter's story reflects meaningfully on his own coming-of-age love affair--does it?--but I don't think it matters.
Some readers might lose interest with the many passages of description. I didn't. I accepted that the novel had a slower, savouring kind of pace.
May I mention the word Proustian? Well, yes, since Banville mentions Proust himself.
One quibble: why do writers who weigh their words so carefully refer to characters with small heads as pin-headed? The head of a pin has a much larger circumference than the pin itself. Ditto the word ashen to describe a face. Even a corpse has more colour than ash does. Ashen-faced is a cliche that needs to be put to rest.

Is it too late to halt the project and the flow of stimulus money to BP?
No, the Hydrogen Energy California project is by no means a foregone conclusion. It has yet to be approved by the California Energy Commission, and faces various reviews from other government agencies. Also, federal funding could be jeopardized if it falls behind schedule.
How can a project that is not "shovel ready" qualify for stimulus funds?
Though the federal government has emphasized the importance of shovel-ready projects, not all stimulus projects have to be immediately set for construction. The Hydrogen Energy California project addresses another government priority: demonstrating the commercial viability of "clean coal" power plants. The Recovery Act specifically included funds for the Department of Energy's Clean Coal Power Initiative.
Are there any protections in place to prevent another BP disaster?
The venture must submit an emergency action plan addressing disaster preparedness to the California Energy Commission for approval. The commission also requires the project to maintain fire, earthquake and worker-safety protections, as well as "on-site inspections by local building inspectors and fire departments, and field audits," according to a commission spokesperson.
Where can I go to learn more about the stimulus grant awarded to BP?
For a more detailed description of the grant awarded to Hydrogen Energy California, go here.
For the project's website, which includes a video about how the plant would work, go here.
For the Department of Energy's press release announcing its stimulus grant, go here.
How do you comment or lodge a complaint? And to whom?
The California Energy Commission is the lead state agency regulating the Hydrogen Energy California project. The full commission is scheduled to vote in spring 2011 whether to approve the project after considering environmental, safety and other concerns. Before that, there will be a hearing – including public comments – currently scheduled for Jan. 12, 2011. This month, on Aug. 17, the commission will also hold a meeting on the part of the project that will funnel carbon dioxide underground to flush out unreachable oil deposits. Members of the public can contact the commission's public adviser to find out how to participate in the process or submit comments. (The proceedings can be followed here.)

Ask Fan Landers: Helpful Advice For Musicians
For 56 years, people wrote in about love, life and loss to the weekly column by Ann Landers. But there wasn't anywhere to go if you needed advice of a musical nature. Until now. Music writer Jessica Hopper pens a weekly advice-to-musicians column at the Village Voice under the name Fan Landers. We got Jessica, er, Fan, on the line to answer a few questions.
First up: A woman from Michigan (written under the pseudonym "A Difficult Release") is about to drop a brand new record and isn't getting the support she hoped from her team.
Then, we hear from a musician in Texas (calling himself "Denim Wonder") who wonders how to release new music while keeping the identity of his past, moderately successful band, a secret.
Plus, this letter mysteriously appeared on our desks from Joe Frazier, the host of a music radio show called Cloudspeck. We put Fan Landers to the task:
Dear Fan Landers,
I need your help. See, I host a radio show -- let's call it Cloudspeck -- that features lots of different types of music. So people think I must know a ton about music. But the sad truth is I've been faking it. Oh, I've heard of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and some guy named Beethoven that they made a movie or two about. (Was his first name Bernard? Because the movies all seem to feature a St. Bernard.)
But every day, my staff brings musicians to play their songs on my radio show, which again is called Cloudspeck. And I realize I should be listening to their songs, but I've really been getting good at Tetris and it just seems a waste of 3-to-4 minutes if I don't try to raise my game to the next level. So, on to my problem.
My staff -- which, to be clear, is the Cloudspeck staff on a possibly non-public radio station -- is beginning to suspect that I don't actually know anything about music. Can you recommend some strategies for dealing with people who actually want to engage me in a conversation about bands I've never heard of? Like that one over there, getting ready to play for us in a few minutes?
Thanks so much,
John. Joe. Joe Frazier. Host of Cloudspeck.
Dear Joe,
It would be wise to peel yourself away from the Tetris for a sec and catch up on what's good, but if you can't manage that, here are two fake-it-til-you-make-it methods that will keep you seeming engaged with cool music. If someone starts talking about a new band, their new band, a hotly debated album just stop them and go "Dude. Grimes. It's all I have been listening to for months. Haven't even made time for anything else." The Grimes-manuever should be good until the end of the year.
Another tactic is to emphatically agree with them, deflecting question with "I know. I know. Just ridic. LOVING it. Have you heard the remixes?" There are remixes of every song that has ever been released, and if they ask where you heard it tell them you googled it on a French blog. You can squeak by without knowledge as long as you have a strong opinion about something.

All Denominations that follow the core Christian Beliefs are considered the Catholic Church. Roman Catholic (although it is quite large and well Established) is like saying Methodist, Lutheran, Baptist So on and so forth.
Just like any human institution the Roman Catholic church had been become corrupt and that's why we had the Protestant movement from which Lutheran, Methodist, ETC came from. I don't have any problem with Roman Catholics, just to clarify. They CAN be some of the Strongest Christians, but often are not.
The Roman Catholic Sacraments are great if they (as I've said before) are an outward action of an Inward Commitment, Unfortunately, it's not often thought that way. I have known Many Catholics that look at it as a list of things to do to get into heaven. IT'S NOT. This is where the problem, IMO, lies. Oddly enough history has repeated it self in this very instance. The Hebrew Religion had turned into that same thing, although it was supposed to be. They had rules and laws that became more important then the reason for those laws and rules, To get closer to God. It's no different here; we, as humans, made rules and thing that at first helped make a Relationship with God better but then started to just do those things because we HAD to not because we WANTED to. Humans tend to forget the reason behind the sacraments and just do them out of Obligation. This is not the reason for them. Christ showed that to the Hebrew Religion and The Starters of the Protestant Movement knew that too.
^^Don't know why I posted all that. But that is the reason you have different opinions between denominations.
Oaky, so I can see, for example, how confession would be a way to get closer to God because you don't need to go to church to do it, but what about something like marriage? How is the purpose of that to become closer to God if you need a church to do it?

We've already heard whispers about the Galaxy S5 arriving earlier than its usual April-May roll out, and this here rumor reiterates that Samsung might speed up the launch this year. Other rumors about the Galaxy S5 mention the possibility of an even sharper screen with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, a new, more resolute camera and even a metal body. Take a look at our Galaxy S5 rumor round-up to learn more.
Other devices that Samsung could start the year with include a Galaxy Note 3 Lite of sorts as well as a Galaxy Grand Lite, both devices with large displays, but the Note series is known for bundling in a stylus. The Lite versions would obviously be short on specs and most importantly - cheaper.
Samsung is also likely to roll out new entry-level devices and the goal is to cover all users with all their different demands. Some of the new launches might include dual-SIM devices.
It's all murky at the moment, but the sheer scope of a launch with up to 5 phones is impressive, don't you think?

"We're in trouble,'' said a grim Richt.
Then same the somewhat comforting reply from Felton: "You said the same thing last year.''
Last year, of course, Richt guided the Bulldogs to a No. 3 finish in the final polls, a 13-1 record and, of most importance to long-suffering Georgia fans, the program's first SEC championship in 20 years.
When 2002 juniors Musa Smith, Johnathan Sullivan and Chris Clemons joined a large senior class in leaving the program, Richt was left to replace 13 starters, including eight on offense.
It is an annual summer ritual for any college football coach to look upon a still-raw collection of players, many of whom are still learning the playbook, then turn his gaze to a calendar that shows a season-opener racing ever closer, and react with a slight case of panic.
For Richt, the preseason concerns are legitimate.
Georgia must replace its entire starting offensive line, linebackers, leading rusher and leading receiver from last year's Southeastern Conference championship team.
There will be no juniors or seniors on this year's offensive line. The starting running back, Tony Milton, and fullback, Jeremy Thomas, each have only one career start.
In the SEC, where a running game is a standard requirement for success, the new starting running backs and young offensive line are a scary combination.
The concerns grew with the injury list in the preseason. Rover Kentrell Curry, one of the cornerstones of the defense, was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right leg and could miss the first three games. Several defensive tackles suffered practice injuries. Freshman tailback Kregg Lumpkin pulled his hamstring, jeopardizing his status for the Aug. 30 season opener at Clemson.
Also, off-the-field problems in the offseason will force seven players open the year on suspensions ranging from one to three games. Of most concern against Clemson, which boasts a talented corps of receivers who boast good size, is three of the suspended players are cornerbacks Tim Jennings, Demario Minter and B.J. Fields.
Finally, a possible starter, offensive lineman Randall Swoopes, transferred to Georgia Military College. Swoopes, one of four players arrested on misdemeanor drug charges, would have been suspended for two games if he had not transferred.
The hits from the 2002 depth chart are significant.
Even so, many preseason magazines and polls see Georgia as picking up where it left off with its Sugar Bowl victory over Florida State.
SEC media who gathered in Birmingham in late July picked Georgia to defend its Eastern Division title before falling to Auburn in the SEC championship game. Sports Illustrated picked the Bulldogs fifth in the nation, higher than any other conference team. Other magazines, including
The Sporting News, picked Georgia to win its division. The lofty projections are based in part on a solid returning corps of all-star players, including defensive end David Pollack, quarterback David Greene, receiver Fred Gibson, kicker Billy Bennett and tight end Ben Watson. There also is reason to believe some of the gaping holes — especially on the offensive line and at linebacker — will be filled by players at least as talented as the 2002 starters.
If such players as middle linebacker Odell Thurman and center Russ Tanner mature quickly in their first years as starters, then other new starters around them can more easily fit into their roles.
Some observers believe this year's offensive line might be as good as last year's by the end of the year, and the new linebackers might also soon match 2002 stars Tony Gilbert and Boss Bailey as play-makers.
Unless the preseason injuries at defensive tackle are more serious than believed and Curry is held out longer than expected with his leg injury, the defense may be strong enough to carry the team early while the offensive line and running game gain momentum.
There were concerns that the off-the-field problems, which included nine players temporarily being declared ineligible for selling their SEC and Sugar Bowl championship rings, would cause distractions that could carry into the season.
Instead, Richt says the problems helped the team move past the stage of reveling in the celebration of the 2002 season.
"There were a lot of people patting us on the back and a lot of people telling us how good we are and all that, and too much of that can soften a team,'' Richt said.
"Some of the controversy that we've been through, I think it has helped us get our minds focused on what is most important.''
In fact, even though he walked off the practice fields on some days worried about the young players who must move into key roles this season, on other days Richt could not contain his enthusiasm about the talent and good attitude.
There could be growing pains on the offensive line early in the season. If Tony Milton is at least adequate at tailback and the line can give Greene and D.J. Shockley decent time to pass, the offense could at least approach the production of last year's unit which led the SEC in scoring.
Richt says he wants a balanced offense, but the passing game looks to be the strength of the unit. Georgia lost leading receiver Terrence Edwards, but still has excellent depth at the position.
Gibson is a preseason first-team All-SEC pick, but in any week Damien Gary, Michael Johnson, Reggie Brown or Watson could emerge as the receiving leader. Freshman Sean Bailey may immediately move into the playing rotation.
Yet another receiver, redshirt freshman Cedric Haywood, was the surprise of the spring and was an early standout in preseason drills.
There also is excellent depth at tight end, where Robert Brannon, Martrez Milner and freshman Leonard Pope could all play behind Watson.
The obvious pick as the leader on defense is Pollack, named by the SEC coaches as the conference's Player of the Year after he led the league with 14 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss. If more blockers are assigned to Pollack, Will Thompson could emerge at the other end as the pass-rush leader.
Early concerns about the loss of three cornerbacks to suspensions are eased somewhat by having seniors Decory Bryant and Bruce Thornton back as starters. Greg Blue will move up at rover if Curry is not ready to play against Clemson. Free safety Sean Jones appears set to emerge as another all-star candidate in the secondary.
After the opener at Clemson and a home game against Middle Tennessee State, Georgia plays four tough conference opponents in five weeks — South Carolina, a road game at LSU, Alabama and a road game at Tennessee.
If it came manage no worse than a split of the four games, Georgia could still be in the SEC East race when it plays Florida and Auburn in November. No team has won the East with more than one conference loss since 1992, but there may be a power shift to the West this season, possibly setting the stage for a team to win the East with two losses.
"If we can stay together when we cross some adversity, we're going to be all right,'' Richt said.

Steamboat Springs — For the second year in a row, Yampa Valley history aficionados are in for a treat.
The Northwest Colorado Parade of Museums will start at 7:30 a.m. today from the Wyman Museum in Craig.
After last year's Parade of Lights in Craig, Wyman Museum office manager Nicky Boulger thought there were enough museums in the valley to warrant a Parade of Museums.
"A lot of people don't realize what we have in this area," she said. "And another nice thing is our museums are all unique and different. They're not the same. They have different collections and displays."
Boulger added that the parade brought people and families together during the holidays and provided them an opportunity to learn about where they live.
Judy Green, a Hayden Heritage Center board member, said the tour showcased history of local communities.
"It helps to bond the museums in the valley and to show the residents of the Yampa Valley the treasures our museums protect and the heritage our museums protect," she said.
This year's parade starts at 7:30 a.m. from Wyman. A bus will take participants at 8 a.m. to the Hayden Heritage Center, where they'll take a tour and have a light brunch. At 9 a.m., the group will travel to the Tracks and Trails Museum in Oak Creek, take a tour and have a snack of cookies and cider. Then at 11 a.m., they'll leave for a tour at the Carpenter Ranch house near Hayden. The group will go at noon to the Museum of Northwest Colorado in Craig for a tour and lunch.
At 1:30 p.m., they'll head back to Wyman for the conclusion of the parade. Boulger said that stop would consist of a museum tour and dessert. Santa will be available to lead free sleigh rides. There also will be free crafts for children.
The cost is $15 or $10 for seniors ages 62 and older. Boulger said the fees cover food and the costs of transporting the group by bus.
She said last year's parade attracted about 25 participants. This year, Boulger said 30 tickets already have been sold. About 20 more tickets are available, she said.
New to this year's parade are the stops at the Tracks and Trails Museum and Carpenter Ranch. Last year, the Tread of Pioneers Museum in Steamboat Springs was included in the parade. Boulger said she wanted to mix things up.
"This is all our history and our heritage, and I'd like to get it out there," she said.

Knoxville, Tenn. - The Auburn Tigers scored six runs over the last three innings to overcome a 4-0 deficit and defeat the Tennessee Volunteers, 6-4, in front of a crowd of 2,104 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium.
Auburn improved to 33-10 on the season and 10-7 in the Southeastern Conference. Tennessee fell to 32-13 and 6-9 in the conference.
Auburn was held to one hit through six innings by Tennessee starter Wyatt Allen before scoring an unearned run in the seventh on Gabe Gross' triple off the center field wall to cut the Volunteer lead to 4-1.
A three-run eighth, keyed by Dominic Rich's two-run single off Vol reliever Brandon Crowe (2-4) tied the game at 4-4. Then in the ninth, Auburn reeled off three straight hits, including a run scoring single by Todd Faulkner that plated Mailon Kent with the go-ahead run to make it 5-4.
Faulkner later added an insurance run for the Tigers as he plated when Brent Burnham reached on a fielders choice following Tennessee' fourth error of the game.
Brandon Mayfield (5-1) worked a perfect eighth inning for the win and Colter Bean recorded his third save as he retired three of the four Vols he faced in the ninth.
Tiger starter Chris Bootcheck allowed all four runs on 10 hits in seven innings of work. Tennessee got on the board in the second on Ryan Case's two-run and took a 4-0 lead in the fourth when John Massey scored on Kris Bennett's single and Ryan Moffet plated when Chris Burke reached on a fielders choice.
Game three of the series will be Sunday at 2 p.m.
