I thought maybe I can get some ideas from others on the forum; and maybe it can be a helpful post to others also..
What do you think would be a suitable livelihood for a Buddhist?
I understand the general guideline of a right livelihood that is not harmful to oneself or others.
Maybe, some can share experiences of occupations they had (or heard about from friends) where they truly (or somewhat) felt happy and fulfilled.

This question arises from the thread on realism: http://dhammawheel.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... ad#p150179 and my question is now whether the translation:
yathābhūtañāṇadassanaṃ: "The knowledge and vision of things as they really are."
Is suggesting a "reality" or "thingness" that is not implied by the Pali, and whether something like:
"The correct understanding of phenomena" would be better.

DaveRupa mentioned yathābhūtadassana , commonly translated as "seeing things as they really are".
Perhaps one of our Pali experts could comment on this phrase. As I understood it, from some source I can't currently locate, the word "things" in the English translation is not really justified by the Pali, and it might be better translated as "seeing clearly" or "seeing correctly".
My amateur attempt at looking up the words:
yathā - according to http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philol ... 1:264.pali
bhūta - becoming, nature, etc, etc... http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philol ... :3646.pali

daverupa wrote:Does -ness offer a viable alternative?
The notion of 'view' or 'opinion' (ditthi) as an obstacle to 'seeing things as the are' (yathabutadassana) is a central concept in Buddhist thought....
[S]eeing things as they are is...soteriologically transformative..., usually stated in terms of craving and ignorance being overcome by calm and insight. Early Buddhist soteriology is both prescriptive and descriptive. What is of value is based upon seeing things in a certain way; it is based upon insight into the way things are. In the...Canon what we crave is inseparable from what we know.... Our understanding of how things are affects how we act. One of the reasons to adopt right-view and reject wrong-views is because right-view produces...wholesome...action. It produces the cessation of craving. The reason for this, the early texts suggest, is that is based upon a true description of reality. Through combining notions of 'is' and 'ought' ditthi encompasses a number of factors: the cognitive and affective; the descriptive and prescriptive; fact and value.... Insight into the way things are has a transformative effect and...categories that we normally separate are intrinsically bound and inseparable factors on the Buddhist path. By not separating the 'is' from the 'ought', the early texts are making an important point. That is that ignorance and craving are inseparable in producing unwholesome action and in turning away from the way things really are.
Two theories may be proposed as to the nature of seeing things as they are.... The strong theory emphasises the 'ought', the weak theory emphasises the 'is' and the 'ought'. It is the weak theory I am arguing for.... [T]he 'is' cannot be divorced from 'ought' without undermining the purpose of Buddhist doctrine. The seeing of things as they are is a statement of fact and value....
In the Buddhist texts it is often suggested that the aim of the Buddhist path is 'seeing things as they are'.... In fact, the commentaries often gloss samma-ditthi as yathava-ditthika 'the view of things as they are'... (Mp I 27, 355, V 66). This idea is found in the Mahasalayatanika-sutta {M III 287-90}). This sutta is concerned with seeing the 'great sixfold base {mahasalayatana} as it is. The view of such a person is right-view {yathabhutassa ditthi, sassa hoti samma-ditthi, M III 289} and the other path factors are 'right'.). Rupert Gethin has pointed out that samma-ditthi is essentially knowledge of suffering, its arising, cessation (The Buddhist Path to Awakening: A Study of the Bodhi-Pakkaya Dhamma, p. 190). This is the apprehending of the process of 'rise and fall' (udayabbaya).... Sue Hamilton (in Early Budhhism) has argued that seeing things as they are relates to the adaptation of experience, the way our cognition perceives the world, and entails an insight into the very nature of cognition. It is the truth of knowing that we are no longer bound to continuity {p. 55}; it is knowing 'how our experience operates' {pp. 122, 134}. Seeing things as they are is a soteriological truth, best explained as insight into the nature of knowledge. Hamilton argues that this understanding...is epistemological, and that the primary aim of the Buddhist path is not an ontological understanding of the self [atta] and the world [loka] {p. 138}:
The problem that needs solving...is an epistemological one, and following the Buddha's teachings leads to insight into the arising and nature of knowledge, and into the status of what one knows. But the process that leads to that insight, and the solving of the epistemological problem, does not itself affect Reality {p. 140}.

Great Texas Birding Classic Marks 10 Years of Conservation
LAKE JACKSON, Texas — The world's longest bird watching competition turns 10 years old this April. In the past decade, the Great Texas Birding Classic has raised close to a half million dollars to conserve wildlife habitat on the Texas coast, protecting critical stopover spots for songbirds that migrate between the Americas.
In the first nine years, winning teams have donated $453,000 in prize money to "on the ground" conservation in Texas. When the 2006 awards brunch is held in late April, total prize money will top the half million mark.
Each spring, the Classic draws hundreds of birding competitors from across North America. Thousands of birding tourists also come to experience the phenomenon of spring migration at companion events held along the coast.
The event's impact extends far beyond Texas, because the Lone Star coastline is important stopover habitat for birds that continue up the Central, Mississippi and Atlantic flyways. These include many neotropical migratory songbirds, among the nation's most colorful and popular species, which migrate huge distances between South and Central America (the neotropics) and North America. Many of these birds are believed to be declining, and many experts suspect habitat loss to human development is a key factor.
"There has been a long term, steady decline in many bird species that pass through or reside some part of the year in Texas" said John Arvin, research coordinator at the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory, which partners with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to run the Classic. "Anything that helps birds and slows that process is a good thing."
The Classic illustrates the connection between wildlife and habitat.
"Most people correctly assume good birders can identify many different kinds of birds by their calls or physical attributes," said Shelly Plante, TPWD nature tourism coordinator. "But to excel in a competition like this you have to know where to find them. Some birds are in coastal marshes, others on the beach, on prairies, in woods. Habitat diversity is the key to species diversity. Texas has a huge range of habitat types, and that's why birders come here."
The Classic pairs teams of birders with corporate sponsors to raise conservation money, and it has evolved over the years to become several different tournaments.
The continent's most committed birders compete in the weeklong tournament for five days nonstop along the entire Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, running April 25–29 this year.
There are also three sectional tournaments where teams focus on one section of the Texas coast for 24 hours, starting this year on the central coast (April 22), then moving to the upper coast (April 26), before concluding on the lower coast (April 29). College Challenge teams (competing for a $1,000 prize for the first time this year), Roughwings (age 13 and younger) and Gliders (14-to-18 year olds) can compete alongside adult and senior teams in each sectional tournament.
The Big Sit! Tournament (April 23) was created to see who can count the most birds in one location, with each team choosing its preferred spot.
The Outta-Sight Song Birder Tournament was created for blind and visually impaired birders to compete by identifying birds by birdsong. This can take place in any coastal section for 12 hours on April 23. Teams must have one sighted driver and record keeper, but they may not assist with bird location or identification.
The Migration Challenge was created especially for teams of people who live outside Texas, offering special prizes for the Weeklong Tournament and for the highest single day count for all Sectional Tournaments.
Team registration days (good places for news media to hook up with participants) are from 6–8 p.m. on three separate days: April 19 for the Upper Coast at the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory in Lake Jackson, April 20 for the central coast at the Quality Inn & Suites in Corpus Christi, and April 21 for the lower coast at La Plaza Hotel in McAllen.
Winners will be announced at the awards brunch, taking place from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. April 30 in McAllen at Quinta Mazatlán. The 1930's Colonial Revival style mansion, with its 15 acres of lush birding grounds, is reopening this year as one of nine sites in the World Birding Center complex in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Several people who helped launch the Classic 10 years ago will be special guests at the awards brunch. Madge Lindsay, John Herron and Ted Eubanks were instrumental in creating the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail as well as the Classic.
Complete information about the Classic is on the Web sites of the two host organizations. Or, phone the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory at (979) 480-0999.

Rachel came back from the main office this afternoon with the following story:
As I was looking for more letterhead over at the main office today, I heard a big sigh come through the door first … then Will.
I chuckled and Will said, "I asked Marlene if she had seen Mom, and she said, 'The last time I saw her she was headed out with a broom.'"
Will laughed and said loudly, "AND IT'S JUST APRIL!"
As I was leaving the office I noticed Will had found Mrs. Koch. I thought, "Oh that's nice, they are going to lunch together."
But wait, she was just showing him the door leading out of the main office. She was so proud … she cleaned all the metal on the door and it was shining beautifully.
That door had been bothering her all winter.
Will and I just stood there for a moment and Mrs. Koch said, "You don't remember what it looked like before do you?"
Nope, we sure didn't.
She went on to explain it had a lot of black grimy stuff on it and was disgusting. But now it was gleaming like new.
Will shook his head.
"Oh, great! Now we have to paint the door."

" Brand: Quorn / Type: Vegetarians "
Quorn is a meat healthy protein filled meat substitute, great for vegetarians. Quorn Southern Style burgers are based on southern fried chicken burgers. Quorn Southern Burgers are rounded pieces of white quorn coated in breadcrumbs and southern style seasoning.
Priced at around £1.50 - £2.50 they are a great staple to have in your freezer. They take around 20 minutes to cook in the oven are are very versatile. sized as a small burger they are great to put on a burger bun with salad but it doesn't stop there. There are many other ways to eat them :
- chopped up in a salad
- in a pasta dish
- in pitta bread
- or my favourite, with rice and peppers.
They have a very authentic southern fried taste, and the texture of the burger is exactly like chicken. I regularly give these to my none meat eating partner, and unlike normal burgers, they are very healthy, and my one year old loves to eat these chopped up.
Quorn have come a long way since the early days, and you really can't fault the texture, flavour and prices of their foods. They are really a brilliant substitute for meat.
Anyone thinking of giving up meat but thinks they may struggle, needs to try these, they really can fill the void for someone who has been a meat eater for a long time, and stops the temptation of quitting and ordering a KFC meal!
highly recommended, very tasty food product.
I am a big fan of Quorn products as you can tell from my recent reviews, I always have my freezer stocked well with different Quorn items/goodies. I think it tastes great, easy and fast to cooks and low in saturated fat perfect for me.
Quorn Southern Style Chicken Burgers:
'With a crunchy breadcrumb coating, seasoned with black pepper'
One things I love about quorn is the good range they have nowadays in the super markets and so far I'm yet to find any I dislike, which is good for me as people that know me will tell you how fussy I am when it comes to food.
My Findings:
I have used these quite a few times now and I never tire of them, they have a delicious taste with a superb coating to match. One of my partner's favourite meats is chicken and though I don't eat meat this is away for both of us eating the same meal; without me having to prepare two meals each time.
In the past I have tried a few different vegetarian southern burgers but none compare to the Quorn brand. In the past they have been dry and hard kind of like chewing on cardboard. But then I tried the Quorn version and never looked back!
They taste just wonderful, soft and moist in the middle with scrumptious coating which teams very well with the quorn. Personally I do think they taste just like chicken burgers, just with more flavour and a healthier option than your local KFC.
I have eaten these on there on with a side salad and also had them on a bap either way they taste yummy. I am I big fan of sauces as I find its a great way to add a twist to your food, and I love sweet chilli sauce with a Quorn Southern burger and salad on a bap. Another tasty way is lemon mayonnaise and salad with your burger, the list is endless and a great way to not get bored with your food.
I do like to change things around with my food as I am a person that gets bored very easily, so another way to eat these is when cooked cut into strips and in a fajita. There are some great spices on the market so you could have plenty fun making them; plus something your child could help you with.
How to cook:
Oven - 16 minutes at 220c, reduce cooking time by 2 minutes for fan assisted ovens.
Grill - 12 minutes on a medium setting, don't forget to turn frequently.
To be cooked from frozen.
Allergy Advice:
Contains - Egg, milk and wheat gluten
Nutritional Information:
(per burger)
Calories - 119
Protein - 6.7g
Carbohydrates - 9.1g
Sugars - 1.8g
Fat - 6.2g
Saturates - 0.8g
Fibre - 1.9g
Salt - 1.3g
Price and Availability:
These can be purchased from most super markets, so far I have always found Asda to be cheaper and they do have them on special offer for £1.00 per box quite often.
Normal price for these burgers is around £1.89 for the pack of four burgers so still not bad value.
I adore these Quorn southern burgers, you can have them as plain as you like or jazz them up to be as fancy as you like. Quick and easy to prepare, tasty fast food without that high fat take away calories.
They maybe burgers but they are very versatile with what you can do with them, tasty all the way!
Even if you're not a veggie I would recommend you give these beauties a go!
Five out of five from me.
Thanks for reading :o)
Additional Information:
Mycoprotein is the main ingredient in all Quorn products. It's made from a member of the fungi family (like mushrooms and truffles) and is a high-quality meat-free protein that's naturally low in fat, with very few calories. It's high in dietary fibre (important for your digestive system) and has the essential amino acids your body needs, with no cholesterol or trans fats at all. - Taken from the Quorn web site, if your interested there is plenty more information on there.
The packaging can be recycled.

I love food but food doesn't love me-calories can soon build up and the requirement of a gym membership can soon be a 'must' if you eat too many burgers. However a few years ago I went on a quest to find a burger that I could enjoy without worrying too much about calories-and I found that in Quorn Southern Style Burgers.
I am not a vegetarian-yet I love these burgers as they are so delicious.
So what is Quorn? To quote their website:
All Quorn products are made with mycoprotein, a versatile, vegetable protein.
Mycoprotein is the ingredient common to all Quorn products. Mycoprotein is a healthy meat-free form of high quality protein and is also a good source of dietary fibre. It is naturally low in fat and saturated fat.
Quorn is a versatile product that can be used to create mouth watering meals from chilli con carnes to spag bol-the options are endless.
So what does a Quorn Southern Style Burger taste like? A tasty, chicken like burger in a crispy peppery breadcrumb coating. The burger is quite juicy, and not dry like you maybe expect-and with a dollop of lemony mayo and a bit of salad these burgers make a great meal. I've even but them on the BBQ-and have success with them. If you love cheddar then you could always put a slice on to make the burger even more tangy and juicy.
So what is in a Quorn Southern Style Burger:
Quorn burger (66%) [mycoprotein*, free range rehydrated egg white, onion, textured wheat protein (wheat protein, wheat starch), flavourings, milk protein, tapioca starch, gelling agent: pectin], batter (water, wheat flour, salt, raising agents: tetrasodium diphosphate, sodium bicarbonate; citric acid, flavouring, black pepper, pimento, nutmeg & aniseed extracts, hydrogenated vegetable oil; black pepper, colour: paprika extract); breadcrumb (wheat & malt flour, rapeseed & palm oil, salt, sugar, yeast, acetic acid, salt, black pepper), sunflower oil. *35% of product.
Per burger you are looking at 119 calories-bargain!
My final verdict-love these burgers and with summer on it's way they will be making their way onto my meal plans with a nice green leafy salad. I've even chopped them up (into slices) and put them in a wrap with mayo-yummy!
Look out for special offers in larger supermarkets as these can often be found with 50 pence off or even half price.
Available at all good Supermarkets across the UK.
I have been a vegetarian now for seven years and always enjoy finding new food to try. I have worked my way through most of Quorn's products now, the most recent being the Southern Style Burgers.
I have eaten Quorn Chicken Style Burgers many times, but had not thought about the Southern Style, because I thought they might be too spicy. I am really glad now, that I decided to give them a go.
*What is Quorn?*
For anyone who hasn't eaten or came across Quorn before, the following is a brief description:
Quorn is a mycoprotein, which is a member of the fungi family. It is high in protein and dietary fibre, low in fat and has zero cholesterol and trans fat. It is also low in calories.
Quorn Southern Style Burgers are best cooked from frozen. I cooked mine in a preheated oven at Gas Mark 7 / 425F / 220C for 12 minutes.
The burgers came out of the oven a deep golden colour. The breadcrumbs, were crisp and crunchy and I couldn't wait to tuck in. I had my burger in a bun with a slice of tomato, lettuce and a dollop of mayo. I also had chips on the side.
Biting into the burger, I found the expected, thick slice of succulent chicken style Quorn. The combination of the crunchy, peppery breadcrumbs, and the melt in the mouth Quorn is just perfect. The breadcrumbs did have a bit of a spiciness to them, but not overly so and not enough to burn your mouth off. Combined with the mayo and cooling effect of the lettuce and tomato, I found the burger just right for me. Those that do like hot, spicy food may be a little disappointed.

Quorn Southern Style Burgers can be found in major supermerkets at around £1.60. They come in a pack of four, which makes them good value for money in my opinion.
They are great for lunch in a bun or can be eaten as part of a main meal, with potatoes and a selection of vegetables.
These are now a firm favourite with my family and I will be buying them on a regular basis.
I have been a vegetarian for the best part of 25 years and am always looking for new quick foods to try. These quorn burgers were on offer in the supermarket a few months ago and have become a firm favourite both with myself and my non vegetarian daughter.
Quorn is a great way of consuming the protein you need to build your body up and as a marathon runner, I find that quorn is an easy way to make sure I am having enough to keep me going.
These burgers are quorn with a lovely crispy coating and are extremely tasty. They are easy to grill and fry, but we have found that they taste the best when they are oven cooked. They would be perfect if you were having a barbeque in the summer and I bet that you could get some of your meat eating friends to try and love them too.
I used to be a vegetarian, a lifestyle choice of mine which had a span of over a decade. Because of this, I have a few issues with eating meat products even though I am no longer veggie. If I am having meat, it has to be 'false' such as sausages or something, and I have not eaten any real poultry products for about fifteen years or so.
During my time as being a veggie, I was of course an avid Quorn fan and to this day I still buy a lot of their products on a regular basis. The brand in general has come on leaps and bounds in the past five years or so and some of the items in the range are downright delicious. Some of the items in the range are not suited for my own personal tastes whereas others are so good that they have found their way onto my regular shopping list.
It was whilst I was doing an online shop recently that I spotted the Quorn southern style burgers. Realising that I had not bought this product for years, I decided to buy a box of the burgers to give them a try out.
For anybody who is unaware of the Quorn products, Quorn is a man-made soya-based substance that is a meat substitute. It is lower in fat than meat is and is therefore seen as being a bit of a healthier alternative for the most part. There are a variety of products available in the Quorn range, and there is a website available at www.quorn.co.uk, should you require more information.
The Quorn southern style burgers come in a box containing two individual burgers. The picture on the front of the cardboard box certainly makes the burgers look very appealing and tasty. The burgers are a frozen food item and they do not require to be defrosted before cooking. This is highly convenient for my own needs as they can remain in the freezer until I need to cook them, then plonked in a hot oven. Minimum care and minimum effort is required and this is a huge bonus in my book!
When it came to cooking the burgers, I removed them from the box and I thought immediately that they looked lovely. The burgers have a crumb type of coating surrounding them and this looked quite delicious upon first inspection. I was a bit disappointed in their size and it did occur to me that one burger might not be enough for my other half, but as I was serving the burgers with a selection of vegetables as well as potatoes I thought that I might just get away with the one burger for his evening meal on this occasion. The box only contained two burgers anyway so I didn't have much choice! Bear in mind though, that these burgers are bit on the small side in my opinion and if you decide to give them a try you might well need to buy several boxes, depending on how many people you have to feed at dinner.
Cooking the burgers proved to be as easy and convenient as I had first hoped; all I had to do was pop the burgers into a hot oven and set the timer. I did check on the burgers about half way through their cooking time and turned them over to ensure even cooking. The burgers only take 14 minutes to cook which is great for me as they are so quick!
When the cooking time was up, I removed the burgers and the first thing I noticed was that there was a thin layer of grease left on my baking tray. This was a bit of a surprise to me as most of the Quorn products are generally seen as a healthy option and I do not remember encountering this problem when cooking other products from the range. I put it down to being the golden crumb coating and dabbed the burgers lightly with some kitchen towel before serving. They were not swimming in grease or anything of the sort, just a bit greasier than I had expected!
When it came to eating the burgers, both my partner and I thought they were really quite delicious. The Quorn 'meat' in the centre of the burgers was cooked perfectly and was not too chewy or dry. The outside coating of the burgers added a nice seasoned taste to the burgers which otherwise would have been too bland. The coating, whilst not crunchy, proved to provide a nice 'bite' to the burgers and when served with a dollop of garlic sauce and some vegetables, this was a really tasty dinner. Eating the burger by itself was a little on the dry side for my own personal tastes, and the addition of some sauce really did liven it up a little as far as I am concerned.
The nutritional information on the reverse of the box informs me that each 75g burger provides 160 calories and 8.3g of fat which does seem a tad high considering their small size? I can also see the familiar badge on the box which informs me that the burgers are 'Vegetarian Society Approved'.
I will definitely buy the burgers again, they proved to be a nice change from the usual Quorn products that I buy regularly. I paid around £1.50 for the box of two burgers from Asda online, but I have also seen them for sale in stores such as Tesco and frozen food stores. I will deduct one star for the fact they were a little overly greasy as well as being a little too dry for my own tastes, but other than that I did think they were quite tasty and I enjoyed them for the most part.
I have been a vegetarian for many years now, and in that time I have tried plenty of products made by Linda McCartney, Quorn, Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys and more. For these reasons I feel like a bit of an authority on the matter and have plenty to compare each product against.
Quorn southern styel Burgers are another product from the Quorn range. They are not made from soya, like a lot of alternative products are, they are made from specially cultivated material from mushroom strand fibres. To be honest that sounds disgusting, but you have to try it to understand the taste and texture.
The southern style burger is Quorns attempt at replicating chicken. The inside is quite plane, not disgustingly so, but doesnt have a flavour that stands out. The texture is quite strand tlike and is soft and chewy but not tough or overly chewy.
The outer edge in crumbed in a slightly spicey southern american style taste. The burger istelf is quite heavy and dense, and more filling than quorns normal, dark brown burgers.
The burgers come in 100% recyclable material, a cardboard box, which is great in my opinion. I like them, but I do prefer the normal Quorn burgers. However it is nice to have a variety of food to eat in the freezer and these are especially nice in the summer.
I'm not really a huge fan of the Quorn products, while they do seem to be the market leader of the big veggie brands, I have always found the food a little bland and not very tasty. Every now and then I'll try one of their new offerings as some of them do look really appealing but more often than not I am disappointed by the flavour.
At the weekend, we had some fab weather and spur of the moment we decided to have a bit of a BBQ as we probably won't have another this year. I sent my husband to the supermarket to pick up the food and also asked him to pick some kind of veggie offering for me. Now I didn't give him any idea what not to or what to get but I was a little disappointed when he came home with a pack of these Quorn Southern Style Burgers. They would not have been what I would have selected at all as I didn't think breadcrumbs on a BBQ would be a sucess but I tried to not let him see my disappointment.
I believe he bought the burgers from the frozen vegetarian section in my local Sainsburys and they cost £1.49 for a 252g pack which contained 4 burgers. These burgers are basically a veggie take on your standard chicken burger and I believe this variety are easily available in all your major supermarkets.
Ok so on the BBQ they went and as always the veggie food was ready way before the meat. I put my burgers in a soft white bread roll and added lashings of good old tommy k. Now I was really hungry so I did wolf them down, but do you know what I actually really enjoyed it. They had a very pleasant flavour and were really well seasoned and actually had a slight spicey kick which I quite enjoyed. These burgers were a really pleasant suprise for me and I would definately buy them again.
I cannot verify whether or not these actually taste like chicken burgers, as I haven't eaten chicken since I was old enough to spit it out (I must've been around 5 years old!), but they are a firm favourite of mine, I always have a box in the freezer and eat them at least once a week.
These soya protein burgers are coated in tasty, mildly spicy breadcrumbs; which is, I gather, where the "southern style" comes from. They aren't too spicy however (I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spices) but they definitely have a bit of a kick.
I personally don't like them served as a burger, i.e. in a bun with salad & relish, as I don't think they work very well in that way. The texture is a bit too heavy for this. I do however love them with chips, beans and brown sauce, mmmm lovely comfort food! My meat-loving boyfriend loves them too.
Like most soya protein products, these are very filling and make you feel like you've had a really good , healthy, satisfying meal. Something us veggies often crave.
These southern style burgers from the Quorn range are supposed to taste like a chicken burger coated in breadcrumbs. They cost around £1.49 for a pack of 4 in most supermarkets and come frozen rather than fresh. I do think they are a good product but they need jazzing up a bit in my opinion to make them tasty, on their own they are a little bland.
Taking around 20 minutes to cook in the oven from frozen, they can be grilled or fried but we always just put them on a baking sheet and oven bake as it seems to work well and is less messy. Each burger contains 119 calories and 0.8g of fat so they are a much healthier and lower fat option than a standard chicken burger. This equates to 2 weight watchers points per burger which makes them a good option if you are following the plan.
I tend to serve them in toasted sesame buns with plenty of tomato ketchup and salad on. Personally I do not think these go well with cheese but my veggie husband usually does have cheese on his. I did try one without the ketchup the first time I had these (I am not a big fan of ketchup) but I found the burger to be both dry and pretty bland when eaten like this. They do not have the natural moisture you would find in a real chicken burger unfortunately and they do need some accessorizing, so to speak!
When served with ketchup and in a bun etc they are pretty good and the texture is not bad in fooling you that it could be real meat. Personally I do think that the beef style burgers from the Quorn range are better than these and taste nicer, but these do a good job of keeping my husband happy and make a nice change from time to time.
Not a bad product from the Quorn range but not one of my favourites either.

Completing his first week as a major league baseball player, Padres infielder Jedd Gyorko already has experienced the good, the bad and the "weird."
"Up and down, up and down, almost everything you could expect," Gyorko said before wrapping up the season-opening road trip Sunday at Coors Field. "Played second. Played third. Had an awful game and was able to bounce back. Overall, it's been pretty good."
Making his major league debut against the New York Mets at Citi Field last Monday, Gyorko left four runners stranded in his first two at bats, but he finished the game with his first major league hit. He pulled off a rarity for Padres rookies, too, rapping out hits in each of his first three games and posting his first RBI. He drove in two of the Padres three runs Saturday night.
All spring, major focus in Peoria was on Gyorko's conversion from third baseman to second, and it was his foot- and glovework on the right side of the infield that convinced the Padres he should make the Opening Day lineup. Yet, due to the injuries of Chase Headley and Logan Forsythe, Gyorko was back at third base before the end of that first game in New York. His first throw, short and wide, was ruled an error.
Not unpredictably, though, Gyorko had to get to Coors Field for the unusual to start happening.
Late in the Friday opener, he hit a sizzler over shortstop that Troy Tulowitzki went high to grab. Unbeknownst to Gyorko and most everyone else but a vigilant third-base umpire, though, the ball came out of Tulowitzki's glove and was ruled no catch. Picking up the ball and starting to walk off the field, Tulowitzki eventually flipped the ball over to teammate Josh Rutledge for the third out.
Gyorko, meanwhile, was caught standing still between the plate and first. He was taking off his shin-guard when looking up to see himself getting thrown out at first.
"I didn't really know what happened," said Gyorko. "Even (first baseman Todd) Helton was running off the field. Just one of those weird plays, I guess, but it's a learning experience. You' ve got to play it out, no matter what happens. Never assume anything. I can learn from it.
"Obviously, it didn't look good. I just have to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Asked if he'd ever even seen a play like that before, Gyorko said with a straight face, "I didn't see this one, either."
If there's been anything truly striking about Gyorko's presence in the Padres clubhouse and lineup – and he started all six games – it's how far he is from the stereotypical, goggle-eyed rookie in his first trip around the majors. He looks, acts and sounds like he's been with the Padres for years.
"There's no doubt he's excited, thrilled to be a major league player, but he's not showing it," said manager Bud Black. "In a way, it's sort of like his personality. He's steady. He's dependable. He plays a sturdy game. He's calm.
"I think he respects where he is in the game, one week in."

Gibson rests Prado, Parra in finale vs. Bucs
PITTSBURGH -- D-backs manager Kirk Gibson can sense the frustration mounting in his club, and his lineup for Thursday's finale against the Pirates reflected that frustration.
Gibson rested two regulars in third baseman Martin Prado and right fielder Gerardo Parra, both of whom committed errors in Wednesday night's game.
"There's not a message," Gibson asked when asked if he was trying to send one with the lineup. "Last night, you could see guys are overly frustrated. We're in the middle of a road trip, and other guys are preparing as well, so we gave a couple of guys a day off today. And get some of the guys in there, get them an opportunity. There will be some other guys getting some days off in the upcoming days as well."
Parra, a Gold Glove defender in right, had played in 83 of the team's 86 games entering Thursday and was mired in a slump at the plate with just one hit in his past 21 at-bats.
Prado, meanwhile, is just 4-for-20 on the trip and has performed below expectations.
"I think he's frustrated, yeah," Gibson said of Prado. "He's been pressing hard. Everybody wants to do good. That was one of our poorer games that we played last year, I thought. We'll get him a day off today and he'll be back in there for the Atlanta series. These guys care a lot. They try to overthink things. They don't mean to, but it happens. I'm just trying to give them a break, give the other guys an opportunity."

Influence of Yoga in Patients With Neurocardiogenic Syncope (SYNC - YOGA)

- How to Read a Study Record
Syncope is a common problem that many clinicians may encounter in various outpatient settings. Neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS) is a benign condition characterized by a self limited episode of systemic hypotension. Patients are usually managed with education on syncope, anxiety management, and coping skills.
It has been established that practice of Yoga could relieve stress and anxiety. In a different study, they also found that Yoga positively influences cardiovascular function by decreasing the heart rate and blood pressure. The main objective of Yoga is to achieve control over the autonomic nervous system and able to control functions like heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate.
Based on the findings that Yoga relieves stress and reduces heart rate, the investigators propose to study if Yoga can decrease the frequency of NCS and also reduce the symptoms associated with these episodes.

A PENSNETT man crashed his father's luxury car during a police chase after he took it to show his friends.
John Donovan, aged 22, who earns £3,000 a month working for the family construction business, took the new Mercedes CLS 500 car just a week after it was bought by his father to "show it off to friends."
But when patrolling police officers spotted the vehicle Donovan, who had no driving licence or insurance, accelerated away hitting 60mph in a 30mph limit in Brierley Hill.
Donovan then came to a junction and although he slowed down he crossed and collided with a Peugeot car carrying a man and his wife who were left badly shaken but with minor injuries.
Hugh O'Brien-Quinn, prosecuting, told Wolverhampton Crown Court the couple's Peugeot, valued at £2,000, had to be written off as a result of the crash.
He said the Mercedes rolled across the rest of the road and then appeared to stop but as the police car pulled alongside the vehicle Donovan again accelerated away from the scene.
The officers lost sight of the Mercedes but were able to follow a trail of leaking liquid from the vehicle and they saw Donovan and his passenger get out of the car and run away but he was quickly arrested.
Donovan of Falknor Drive, admitted aggravated vehicle taking, failing to stop after an accident and having no licence or insurance.
He was given a ten month jail term suspended for two years, ordered to carry out 180 hours unpaid work in the community and fined a total of £2,500.
Judge John Wait further ordered he must obey a five month curfew between the hours of 8pm and 5am and pay £200 costs.
The judge told Donovan, "You are a fool" as he stressed he would have to spend the time he would have served in prison inside his home for the next five months.
Simon Hanns, for Donovan, said his client was a hard working young man who was full of remorse for his actions and he now owed his father a considerable amount of money for what was a very expensive incident.

In order to maximize the teaching/learning experience, an effort should be made to make learning a pleasantly stimulating and exciting experience. One way to achieve this is to use games because they provide attractive frameworks for learning. Due to the fact that games are a novelty they arouse interest, and in turn, what otherwise may be tedious drills become fun. Well-planned curriculum games not only help to develop a zest for learning; they enhance the efficiency for remembering what was learned. In addition, the atmosphere created by games can be especially helpful for those students who do not respond well to other types of structured learning activities. Implementation of instructional games in the classroom is not only motivational but will result in higher achievement.
The games and activities included with this course are excellent for cooperative learning groups, learning centers, and whole class participation in grades 1-3. Skill areas include spelling, word usage, vocabulary development, proofreading, basic math, problem solving, critical thinking, and more.
