Transitions Optical's "Get Sighted" initiative led by actor Erik Estrada and Larry Lampert, OD, is raising awareness about the importance of healthy sight among consumers across the U.S. Over the past few months, Estrada, of the famed 1970's TV show "CHiPs," has been playing a new role for Transitions as a Healthy Sight Officer. He has led the Healthy Sight Patrol through the streets of New York City and at the Transitions Championship in the Tampa Bay area to distribute "Sightations" for violations such as "Visual Abandonment" and "Indecent Exposure" to consumers who were not wearing proper UV-blocking eyewear while outdoors.
In addition to appearances on national and local broadcast media alongside Lampert, Estrada encourages everyone to join the Healthy Sight Patrol by asking them to visit www.GetSighted.com to send a "Sightation" to friends and family members who are not properly caring for their eyes and learn more about how they can ensure lifelong healthy sight.
Younger Optics and Transitions Optical recently wrapped up a cross-country tour consisting of two new seminars for eyecare professionals. The 12-city tour, titled "Eyewear Essentials," kicked off October 12 in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. and concluded November 18 in Tampa, Fla.
The first seminar, "Eyewear Essentials: More Choices," provided ECPs with information on patient expectations and emerging trends. Attendees were introduced to a simple way to meet all of a patient's visual needs through two pairs of essential eyewear. The second seminar, "Make Sunwear Important with a New to the World Sunlens: NuPolar Trilogy—Visual Armor," introduced ECPs to an advanced new lens product and learn how to increase their practice or store's income by making sunwear a more important part of their business.
Attendees received two ABO education credits, as well as professional vouchers to try Transitions XTRActive and NuPolar Trilogy lenses for free. At each event, ECPs had a chance to win a popular prize, such as an Amazon Kindle, no purchase necessary. At the Utica, Mich. seminar on November 3, Gayanna Gonzalez, Baldwin Eye Care in Lake Orion, Mich., was presented with a Kindle by Herb Fletcher, regional lens consultant for Younger Optics, and Erin Zonta, NuPolar marketing manager for Younger Optics.

A pioneer in the field of behavioral science delivers a groundbreaking work that shows how finding your purpose in life leads to better health and overall happiness.
Your life is a boat. You need a rudder. But it doesn't matter how much wind is in your sails if you're not steering toward a harbor - an ultimate purpose in your life.
While the greatest philosophers have pondered purpose for centuries, today it has been shown to have a concrete impact on our health. Recent studies into Alzheimer's, heart disease, stroke, depression, functional brain imaging, and measurement of DNA repair are shedding new light on how and why purpose benefits our lives.
Going beyond the fads, opinions, and false hopes of "expert" self-help books, Life on Purpose explores the incredible connection between purposeful living and the latest scientific evidence on quality of life and longevity. Drawing on ancient and modern philosophy, literature, psychology, evolutionary biology, genetics, and neuroscience as well as his experience in public health research, Dr. Vic Strecher reveals the elements necessary for a purposeful life and how to acquire them and outlines an elegant strategy for improving energy, willpower, and long-term happiness and well-being. He integrates these core themes into his own personal story - a tragedy that led him to reconsider his own life - and how a deeper understanding of purposeful living helped him not only to survive but to thrive.
Illuminating, accessible, and authentically grounded in real people's experiences, Life on Purpose is essential for everyone seeking lasting improvement in their lives.

A truly life-changing book
This is a phenomenal book about why you should live your life on purpose, and how to begin finding what your purpose is in the first place. Citing studies on how purpose-driven people do better overall in life ( and are happier), R.C. Bray illustrates why we shouldn't go through life in a daze, especially when times are tough. The story of his daughter and her health condition was heart-breaking and inspiring at the same time; he is truly a role model for anyone who has lost a loved one and feels disconnected from life and going about things aimlessly. I loved this book so much I started buying it for friends. It also has a free app available for your phone which helps you track if you're staying on purpose each day.

Great booster shot to living a purpose-driven life

My 3 days in Venice
The blog on my trip report to Venice now has a link. You can find it here:

The blog is now just about complete. The show moves to Florence tomorrow. There will be a new blog for Florence

Beautiful photos!

Thanks for this - we are now booked for La Traviata on your recommendation. It looks great!

I really enjoyed this. I leave for Venice a week from tomorrow for 5 days. Reading this has me even more excited and it doesn't matter this will be my 3rd return trip.
I have to say I am sorry about your luggage woes. I swear you must be related to me. My last trip, I came home with no handle. It got stuck and when pulled, no more handle. Also came home once with a missing wheel. Luggage is great when when it all works but no handle or a wheel and boy is it hard to get it home. Worse when it happens in the middle of a trip.
Report Abuse
I'm in Venice from September 25th, departing October 12th. It's the Architecture Biennale that is drawing me there. A couple of years ago, I had only three or four days for the Archi Biennale, and it really grabbed me on an intellectual level, a completely new way of thinking about the built environment, how we as a society, interact with our environment.
So I'm giving myself a couple of days at the Giardini, a couple more at the Arsenale, plus Certosa and Forte Marghera. Maybe a day trip to Verona to visit the Castel Vechio again, Padua for the street market and the botanical gardens, San Vito di Altivore for the Brion Mauseleum, maybe Possagno for the Canova plaster casts.
Oh, and attend church on Sunday at St Georges, mixing with the Anglophone diaspora in Venice.
Report Abuse
Luggage woes can be a royal pain in the ass--especially in a place like Venice where you have to eventually walk luggage. On the train to Florence I carefully left the handle up. So someone rearranges the luggage and thoughtfully depresses the handle. More difficulty getting it up in Florence. Only the train to Rome and the bus to the airport to go so should not be much of a problem. I have had luggage wheel problems on other trips--as where one cracks and/or falls off. You are right that it would have been worse earlier in the trip. Stuff like that generally ends in the purchase of a new suitcase--which I need like a hole in the head having a huge collection at home.
Obviously, the suitcase (a crappy Chinese model bought to get an oversize Burmese marionnette home from a trip to SE Asia) is trash once I get home.
Report Abuse
Loved reading this and the Florence blog. We were there a week before you and it brought back wonderful memories. I so appreciated your sense of humor and the many adventures that you shared!
Report Abuse
I am now back and posting the photos from Florence when we went to the hill town and had lunch on the chianti wine trail. I also will wrap up the Florence blog and then repost it as a trip report.
I had a truly wonderful trip. The offending suitcase has been tossed. By the time I returned, the airline had succeeded in breaking the handle entirely off.
I am now enjoying, at least temporarily, visiting my house.
Report Abuse
Today is my last day in Venice and I had to chuckle while finding my hotel on the day I arrived. I am only a few doors down from the polar bear windows. I immediately recognized it from you pictures.
Good riddence to your luggage. Newer luggage is much ligher.
Report Abuse
Polar bear windows?
Yes, my suitcase with the broken handle went out with the trash. I'll buy a new one before I do another long trip, but none is in the offing at this time as I am going to concentrate on downsizing and moving to a condo I already own nearby. The winter months will be spent readying my home for sale. Any travel planned is within the US for now.
Report Abuse
Polar bear windows?
Yes the pictures of the female and male maniquin for the moncler store. As I came down the stairs looked to the right I said, ooh my I just saw them on line at fodors. .
Report Abuse
Oh, yes, I think I photographed those windows. They were funny. I just didn't connect what you said with those windows for some reason. I stayed in a different area and saw the windows when I went to the opera in the Palazzo and walked that way.

Lauren, I've thoroughly enjoyed your trip report.
Question: where was the header picture of your blog taken? The one with the waterfalls. Iceland?
Report Abuse
Alte Cocker, I love the concept of your title, blog and way of reporting. You are an inspiration to all of your fellow alte cockers everywhere. You go girl!
Report Abuse
Thanks for the positive feedback. The whole point of the blog is to get altecockers out of their rocking chairs and away from their knitting. Anyone can do what I do provided they are in reasonable health. It just requires a lot of planning and willing to be flexible.
I have had an inundation of offers from Australia recently--all turned down. I've been there 3 times and unless someone gives me somewhere I have not been, it's done. I think one person just wrote me for the 2nd time. Who knows where the next trip will be? It's part of the adventure.
Report Abuse
Loved reading your blog/trip report!! I'm an altecocker, and I'd love to get out more, except for an alterercocker who doesn't want to be home alone while I'm gone.
Report Abuse
When there are 2 AlteCockers involved, whether to go or stay is a more difficult decision and sometimes a lot of negotiation.
I am just catching up with all the post trip chores--and planning a trip to NYC and New Orleans in Jan.-Feb. On that one another AlteCocker will accompany me--a former home exchanger from Melbourne, Australia, who has become a good friend. The last time we saw each other was for lunch in Paris in 2015. He was coming and I was going. We see each other like that occasionally. This time he snagged a home exchange in New Orleans and I will get to see that city--a place I have never been. It's not as exotic as a trip to Europe but it will be a blast. We will meet in NYC for a few days and then come to my place in DC for the inauguration before flying to NOLA.
After NOLA I go on to visit a friend in Florida for a few days (an AlteCocker from high school) and he goes to Boston. Don't ask me why anyone goes to Boston in February. He probably has another home exchange there. Dunno. Maybe he will get lucky and it won't snow.
There is also a woman in France that I have become good friends with through a home exchange. Most exchangers you never see again, but some do become good friends.

I just looked at this and realized I never answered the question about the header photo. It is indeed from Iceland--during the 1st part of the trip.

Plagiarism is a major offence towards academic and publication ethics, yet it has been an existing problem for a number of years. It has caused damages to people and other people's work and yet it continues to exist. Analysing the article from BBC magazine will help us have a better perspective to plagiarism and its existence.
"Plagiarism: the Ctrl+C, Ctrl + V boom," talks about plagiarism and its existence over the years. Technology advancement, especially the internet, has provided people the opportunity to a bigger digital library, hence increasing the rate of plagiarism. This article also points out that there are reasons for the existence of plagiarism and it differs between plagiarism found in academic and publication works. Plagiarism tends to be more prominent among first year undergraduates due to lack of appropriate instructions and also due to their adapting stage towards a new environment. In relation to publication works, plagiarism could exist due to editors dropping their guard to prevent this and also the difficulty to detect plagiarism.
The fourth rule of the principles of ethical publishing in the international journal of cardiology, as stated in Coats (2008), requires any work that is submitted should contained acquired material via ethical standards and not copied from others without permission. Plagiarism violates this rule and it can cause major damages to the reputation of the writer and it should be avoided by all cost. These damages could extend to the point of violating other authors' copyright which will allow these authors to see that appropriate consequences should come to the copier. Game and West (2002) provides a solution to plagiarism, encouraging that detailed note-taking and record keeping of ideas used and accurately attributed to the right sources. They also encourage that quotation marks should be used and the source is appropriately cited. Appropriate and just punishment should be given to those who cannot practice these simple rules. In terms of academic writings, students should be consistently encouraged not to plagiarise and to understand the consequences of the plagiarism. Changes should not be made to any rule associated with plagiarism as it would defeat any effort made to emphasise the dangers of plagiarism.
In conlusion, plagiarism is a major offense and dangerous whether for academic or publication works. Every effort and more should be made to ensure this emphasis is made and understood.

In spring, the flowers start to bloom. But that's not all that happens. In our school, spring is a time for poetry. So why not do an activity with your class. If your teacher allows you to do an activity involving poems you should do the Poetry Slam. You and your class will have a great time.
The Poetry Slam is an event where the whole class chooses a poem to memorize. Once you have chosen your poem, you recite the poem in front of an audience. You can even make props to go along with your poems to make it more interesting.
Poems are inspiring to many people. The Poetry Slam will be an enjoyable event. Everyone enjoys listening to great poetry. If you do this event, make sure to memorize your poems well because there may be difficult words. If you follow these tips you will be awesome. Good luck.

It's always nice when people get together and make themselves heard. It's even nicer when other people listen.
Not a month ago, Rakuten, Japan's Amazon.com, earned the title as the world's leading online trader of elephant ivory and whale products, thanks to a report by an influential UK NGO called Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA).
The report was widely covered by media and an internet campaign ensued vilifying Rakuten for its 28,000 ads for elephant ivory and 1,200 for whale meat.
This week, in a move that surprised even EIA, Rakuten said OK, you win, we'll stop selling whale-meat products.
"We issued a notice to all stores on April 1, asking them to stop sales of whale-meat products by the end of the month," a Rakuten spokeswoman said.
"We made the decision ... following the ruling by the International Court of Justice and a subsequent comment by the Japanese government that it will obey the ruling," the spokeswoman added.
She's referring to Japan's decision this week to cancel its Antarctic whaling hunt for the first time in 25 years. That decision came after the UN's International Court of Justice condemned the practice.
Rakuten's move to ban whale-meat products goes beyond that ruling, which didn't put an outright end to all of Japan's whaling efforts, but singled out the Antarctic program as a "commercial activity disguised as science."
Theoretically, that judgment doesn't affect Japan's coastal whaling program or in the one in the north Pacific.
Rakuten said it notified the 42,000 online shops that operate on under their digital umbrella.
A search of the site Friday turned up about 700 listings for whale meat.
Now about that ivory.

The record of our Corps is one which will bear comparison with that of the most famous military organizations in the world's history. During 90 of the 146 years of its existence, the Marine Corps has been in action against the Nation's foes. From the Battle of Trenton to the Argonne, Marines have won foremost honors in war and in the long era of tranquility at home. Generation after generation of Marines have grown gray in war in both hemispheres and in every corner of the seven seas [so] that our country and its citizens might enjoy peace and security.
In every battle and skirmish since the birth of our Corps, Marines have acquitted themselves with the greatest distinction, winning new honors on each occasion until the term "Marine" has come to signify all that is highest in military efficiency and soldierly virtue.

Avalanche Drops 20 Feet of Snow on Colorado Highway
A controlled avalanche dropped 20 feet of snow on U.S. Highway 40 Tuesday morning closing the road for more than five hours.
A controlled avalanche dropped 20 feet of snow on U.S. Highway 40 Tuesday morning closing the road for more than five hours.
Playing in the great Colorado outdoors is great fun for thousands of people, but there are inherent dangers that come with winter recreation. Having a team of well-trained rescue dogs is a tremendous asset.
If nothing else, Coloradans are unique. Residents of Telluride gathered in the streets to kick up their heels and celebrate. What was the occasion? Nothing much ... just an avalanche.
The abundance of January snow coupled with the wide variations in temperature has made Colorado's mountains a mecca for avalanches.
Avalanches can kill, and they can shut down mountain highways, but when an avalanche is planned it is a phenomenal shot of awesomeness.
An avalanche closed I-70 in both directions after burying it under 15 feet of snow at Vail Pass.
With the Colorado weather going from hot and cold, mountains are in the avalanche danger zone.
In January alone, there have already been 11 avalanche fatalities across the West.
If you are planning travel over the next few days, or have relatives traveling into Grand Junction. Mother Nature could cause you some travel trouble.
The Colorado Avalanche lost center Paul Stastny to St. Louis as free agency opened today but did sign a former Flames player to help out. When the free agent market opened up at 10am Mountain Time it only took about an hour for Paul Stastny to sign a four-year deal with the St. Louis Blues.

"This is truly a silver lining in our quest to prepare for the Boy Scouts Jamboree and their High Adventure camps, and it's essential to business, government and leisure travelers," said Rahall. "I remain committed to fighting for federal investments to improve our roads and airports in southern West Virginia, particularly as we grow our economy to meet our growing population in Raleigh County and our region."
"This is a great first step to make sure residents in Beckley maintain commercial air service. I'm encouraged by the interest that Beckley has received, and that Silver Airways is committed to serving West Virginia," said Rockefeller, who has become the leading defender of EAS service in the Senate. "I've continued to say that rural air service in West Virginia is critical -- it creates jobs and helps our economy grow. I fought to protect EAS funding for West Virginia's airports, and this announcement for Beckley helps make certain the region is not left out."
"I am so pleased that Silver Airways will replace Colgan Air, ensuring that safe and reliable transportation is available to residents and businesses in Beckley," Manchin said. "In order for our state to remain competitive and attract new jobs and industries, we must offer businesses the type of transportation they require. Quality infrastructure is so important to our economy, and this announcement is good news for West Virginia."
Tom Cochran, director at the airport, is pleased with Silver Airway's proposal to provide 26 weekly frequencies contingent upon a code-share agreement with United. "We're excited to have DOT's approval, and certainly appreciate the help provided by Congressman Rahall to ensure air service continues in our area. Frankly, without the Essential Air Service our citizens would not have access to reliable air transportation."
For Beckley, Silver Airways, previously known as Gulfstream International Airlines, proposes to operate 13 round trips per week (seven nonstops and six one-stops at an intermediate point to be determined at a later date) to Washington's Dulles International Airport for an annual subsidy of $2,664,565. The service proposed is one round trip per week more than what the DOT requested for Beckley. Service would be operated with 34-passenger Saab 340B+ aircraft. The carrier is proposing to operate flights under its existing code-share with United Airlines, however, a definitive agreement extending that code-share had not been reached at the time of filing and, therefore, the proposal was contingent upon that agreement being finalized.

Just framed a newspaper cover from the other day, " When Will It End?" - in giant print, with a huge falling chart of the stock market.
Maybe we'll get another cover here soon to frame alongside it, right near the meeting table.
I took print-screens of google finance on Friday and today, I think it'll make for a good heading of WHIPSAWED
They'll notice that it went up, but they'll temper it with, but it could be a false correction, don't get excited. To hear them report the news you'd think every newscaster out there holds nothing but ultrashort etfs.
Dow goes down 770 points, headlines use terms like "plunges," "crashes," collapses," "blood bath, "global free-fall," "plummets," "melts down."
Dow goes up 936 points, headlines include "rises," "jumps," "snaps back," and "rallies."
It's obviously easier to scare people than it is to inform them.
" The Dow industrials leapt 936.42 points, or 11.1%, to 9387.61, in its biggest single-day point gain ever. The rally ended a miserable eight-day slide in which the Dow fell almost 2,400 points. "

Lawyers for one of the co-defendants of Mr Chirac, who is accused of embezzling public funds as mayor of Paris in the 1990s, had argued that some of the charges were unconstitutional under the statute of limitations.
The country's highest appeals court ruled however that the constitutional concerns raised, which caused the trial to be postponed on its second day in March, were not valid.
The court "decided that there was no grounds to refer these questions to the Constitutional Council," the body that would have ultimately ruled on the challenge, the judges said in a statement.
Mr Chirac, 78, the first former French president to go on trial, is accused of using public funds to pay people working for his party ahead of his successful 1995 election bid. He has denied knowledge of any illegal payments.
A court on March 8 suspended the trial so that constitutional authorities could examine whether certain charges that date back nearly two decades were still admissible. The postponement drew criticism from anti-corruption campaigners.
Mr Chirac is one of France's most popular political figures, best known abroad for opposing the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.
He is the first French former head of state to face criminal charges since the leader of the collaborationist wartime regime, Marshal Philippe Petain, was convicted of treason after World War II.
If found guilty, Mr Chirac faces up to 10 years in jail and a fine of 150,000 euros on charges including embezzlement and breach of trust.

Civil Servants in York Take Strike Action
3:25pm 15th May 2013
Staff in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs have been taking a day's industrial action today.
It comes after a one-day strike on Budget Day, and the long weekend of action from 5-8 April.The protest is over pay, terms and conditions and job cuts.
PCS Environment, Food and Rural Affairs [EFRA] Group President Glenn Ford said "We don't need to look far to see the effects of our employers failing to talk to the Union. From the imposed performance management system that has caused so much anger across the Department, to our colleagues fighting for their jobs throughout the department, we have all been affected by these national issues. A quarter of the people working with us in 2010 just aren't here any more, and it's those that are left that are having to give more and more for less and less money each year."
Over 400 staff across Yorkshire and the Humber were expected to walk out from the RPA in Northallerton, Defra in York and Animal Health Vetinary Lab Agencyand Natural England staff both in Leeds.
"We have tried talking to leaders at Agency and Departmental level," Glenn Ford said, "but so many of the decisions are being made at a national level, where the Cabinet Office refuses to meet with PCS negotiators, our only option is to support further industrial action."
A Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs spokesperson said:
"Today's strike action has had no impact on the public services provided by this Department."

Making Cardboard Chairs without Glue
When we buy new objects we deal with large amounts of cardboard along the year. Most of the time the board is broken and sent to recycle. But the next time you have a cardboard box at home, save it and put to the test by making a cardboard chairs. They can be made without using glue. Cut two parallel grooves in a cardboard sheet 24 by 24 inches. They should be on one side of the plate.
The slots should be at a distance of 3 inches from each edge. This is the back of the cardboard chairs. Make a slot at one end of the two cardboard sheets remaining 24 by 24 inches. Cut another slot in the two side pieces as wide as the thickness of the board you are using. Slots located in the opposite upper corner of the side seat.
12 Photos Gallery of: Making Cardboard Chairs without Glue
It should be 12 inches deep. Place the sides parallel to each other so that they are separated by 18 inches. Align them in the bottom of the back piece with inclined slots in the upper rear side corner. Fold the cardboard sheet 36 by 24 inches in half measuring 18 by 24 inches. These are the parts of cardboard chairs.

Saintseneca, Jonny Rodgers
The Pour House Music Hall
224 S. Blount
Raleigh, NC, 27601
Doors 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
Saintseneca is a young band from Columbus Ohio led by singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist Zac Little. Following in the footsteps of heartland bands who have sought to twist the music of the old weird America into new shapes Saintseneca perform songs that sound familiar and uniquely original, all at once.
While the group formed in Columbus Ohio, Little hails from the rural hills of Appalachia. It is a solitary and dramatic landscape that has infused the band's songs with a sense of introspection and striking narratives. "I was raised on farms in Appalachia," Little explains, "And I think that my perspective on music was shaped by where I grew up. It was twenty minutes to see the nearest person. Being so isolated forced me to be introspective and resourceful. As a kid I would explore these abandoned houses and barns and wonder what had happened in those places."
With a diverse assemblage of influences, the band's poetic lyricism and folk instrumentation is consistently enhanced by elements of pop, post-punk and psychedelia. It is a sound that evolved from playing alongside an array of electrified bands at DIY house shows. "The scene in Columbus is really vibrant and diverse," Little explains. "The connecting thread has less to do with musical style than a shared ethos. We were this quiet folk band playing with punk and hardcore bands so we would try to channel as much volume and power from those instruments."
Saintseneca's upcoming second album Dark Arc is informed by change. While previous records documented the band's celebrated live show, the new record is the result of both a revamped lineup and a dramatically expanded recording process. Dark Arc conveys an exhilarating mix of darkness and light. Lyrics of disintegration play out against arrangements brimming with buoyant folk, post punk and pop. It's a powerful combination and highlights a great sense of joy amidst all the doom.
In addition to touring and recording indie pop songs based around tuned wine glasses, guitar, and electronics, Jonny Rodgers is also a composer and producer, writing chamber, orchestral and choral music for concert and film.
His formative musical years were spent writing, touring and recording with his brother Steve Rodgers in the indie band Mighty Purple. The band released seven albums and toured the US multiple times since forming in the early '90s.
Jonny collaborates with many talented musicians from the worlds of classical and indie music. He has played for the bands Son Lux, NYC classical-crossover Awry (now My Brightest Diamond), Ten Shekel Shirt, Faux Fix, Todd Reynolds, Sxip Shirey, Arturo En El Barco, Angelica Negron and many others.
His last full length album The Aviary, was written and scored as a live show backed by a 9-piece chamber orchestra featuring unconventional elements, such as tuned wine glasses and steel drum.
His newest material prominently features tuned wine glasses, guitars and electronics with live loops used in unexpected and captivating ways. Jonny will be selling limited edition EPs of all new songs while on tour.
Jonny currently splits his time between Brooklyn, New Haven, CT and a farm
in Oregon.

Women Use Food For Comfort
August 18, 2012 by Carolin · Leave a Comment
Women eat with their heart rather than with their stomachs.
Women need to be observant with their eating patterns. A Danish study showed that almost every fourth woman eat food or candy for other reasons than hunger while only 16% of the Danish men eat for other reasons than hunger. The results are explained with men and women reactions to stress.

Even if we know that if we just cut back on certain types of food we'll loose those extra pounds it's not always that easy to put it into practice. So why not get some ideas from others? How do they do it?
I found a video that shows ideas from celebrities.

7 Most Common Weight Loss Mistakes
June 22, 2010 by Carolin · 7 Comments
Do you feel like you'll never have success with your weight loss?
Without knowing it, you might be making these weight loss mistakes. They may seem harmless but reaching your goal weight can be hard and you want to make it as easy as you can on yourself.
1. Skipping meals
Skipping a meal usually has an adverse effect on your diet goals. You are much more likely to fall for unhealthy snacks and most people will compensate for the saved calories by eating more later during the day. Always eat 3 meals and 2 healthy snacks a day.
2. Grocery shopping hungry
It's almost as if the unhealthy, fast sugar and fat products just jump into the chart when you're grocery shopping hungry. Ideally eat a meal before you go to the store but if you find yourself there with a screaming stomach simply purchase a fruit and eat it. Then continue your shopping.

How to cook authentic lamb tagine in the comfort of your own home.
Over the past year I've read plenty of press releases about how many families don't enjoy mealtimes together anymore thanks to busy and conflicting schedules. It is sad. After all, isn't sharing food around a table an integral part of family life? In this household we would have it no other way. You'll find us eating dinner at around 5pm each and every day.
The folks at Shloer have created a new campaign, called Enjoy Sunday Lunch, in an effort to bring families closer together and on the website you'll find money off coupons, advice from Phil Vickery and competitions too. Of course, there's recipes as well! You'll find this recipe, Moroccan Lamb Tagine, on a smaller scale on the website, which was created by yours truly.
Recommended Middle Eastern Cuisine Cookbooks
If you're a fan of Middle Eastern cuisines, then you'll love The Jewelled Kitchen and Comptoir Libanais. The former was written by blogger friend Bethany Kehdy, who runs Dirty Kitchen Secrets. The book features enticing Lebanese, Moroccan and Persian recipes and the photography is simply beautiful. Bethany also runs guided tours, called Taste Lebanon.
Comptoir Libanais is an affordable restaurant chain that has taken London by storm. The food is Lebanese and Middle Eastern as well and here you'll discover the restaurant's secret recipes that keep their fans coming back for more and more. I can't recommend these two cookbooks highly enough.
What equipment do you need?
A tagine is a Moroccan answer to the British stew. It actually refers to the actual equipment used in the cooking process, which is called a tagine.
The funny looking cone-shaped lid of the container traps steam and returns the condensed liquid to the pot. That's why you don't need a lot of water to cook food and the meat still comes out tender. There are some highly rated ones, in various sizes, available on Amazon such as the Le Creuset and Emile Henry.
However, due to the quantities I cooked with this time round I opted for the biggest pot in the house, my beloved 12.4 litre Le Creuset pot. You can use a large pot as well, and just need to add a little bit more water than you would in a tagine.
Which cut of lamb is best?
Now that you know what you'll need to cook this dish, let's talk about the cut of meat. The first rule of thumb is that the meat should be grass-fed, not grain-fed. If you'd like to read more about the subject, go here. Secondly, although you can turn this recipe into a low-fat one, by reducing the mount of oil used and using lean cuts, it wouldn't be ideal and the meat will come out on the dry side, no matter how long you cook it for. So you're ideally looking for marbled, stewing steak, such as lamb neck fillet and off-cuts. You can even use lamb shanks! The shanks will need a longer cooking time though, about 4-5 hours. Shoulder would work too.
Let's get cooking!
Peeling and chopping onions would be the only prep you'll have to do for this dish.
If you regularly practise batch cooking, buying a food processor is a smart investment which will literally save you from crying in this case. My trusty Magimix 3200 and its special accessories have never let me down. Grate the onions and ginger. If you don't have a food processor, chop the onion and grate the ginger by hand.
Heat the oil in the pot and add the onion and ginger mixture.
Continue frying the onion mixture gently until softened.
Add the lamb. Stir continuously.
Ultimately, all the lamb should get browned.
Add the coriander, cinnamon, cumin and saffron to the pot. Speaking of cinnamon, if you're only after the best of ingredients, Cinnamon Hill is well worth check out. They sell two varieties: Ceylon and Saigon, each with its distinct character. I used whole Ceylon sticks in this recipe.
Did I mention Robyn, my three year old, was with me during this photo shoot? She got so excited by the whole process that she went to fetch her VTech Kidizoom camera and started snapping away at the food. She's definitely following in her mother's footsteps!
It's up to you when you add the prunes. Most recipes state an hour before the cooking time elapses. It also depends on the state of the prunes. If you have hard, shriveled prunes on your hands, you can either faff about an leave them in hot water for around 10 minutes to hydrate and soften or you can put them earlier in the pot to cook with the rest of the ingredients. Sometimes I can't be bothered because as sod's law would have it I'll forget to add the prunes at the last minute and end up with a pruneless dish. That's why I added the prunes at the start of cooking. There is one downside to it though. During the simmering process the prunes tend to disintegrate somewhat but it makes no difference to the flavour of the tagine whatsoever. Really, it's up to you.
You don't have to use prunes though. Dried apricots or figs are great alternatives!
After you've given the pot a good stir, add some water to it until all the ingredients are almost covered. Don't add too much though because it will literally water down the flavour, plus you want some of the meat exposed so that a bit of browning can take place which will add depth to the tagine.
It's ready to cook, whether it's on the hob or in the oven, it's up to you. If you take the latter route, remember low and slow is the way to go. Another great addition is cooked chickpeas, which you can add an hour before cooking finishes. It's a great way to bulk out the dish.
Before you serve, don't forget to add the honey and the Orange Blossom Flower Water is optional.
There you go – a beautiful lamb and prune tagine. Serve with fluffy couscous and top with fresh cilantro and toasted, slivered almonds!
This pot of food feeds 16 people so it's ideal for lunch on a Sunday for a big family gathering. Otherwise, if you're like me, a tad lazy and like to do batch cooking, freeze the tagine into individual sized portions. It reheats great it in the microwave, on the stove and covered in the oven. It stays good in the fridge for about 3 days and 3 months in the freezer.

OT: wave to the point as it flies overhead
So Gospel Commentary and Chris Unthank have been in a schoolyard throw-down (jab, slap, kick, hiss) about an Unthank post originally commenting on a recent court ruling about bloggers and their sources and whether or not the law recognizes the right of a blogger or online reporter to use anonymous sourcing. To recap, let's go to Slate.com's Today's Papers feature (from this morning):
[A] judge in California ordered three online reporters to reveal their sources to Apple Computer. The company brought a lawsuit against the reporters demanding they reveal who leaked them information about a new music software the company considers to be a trade secret. Although many were watching the case to see what it would mean for online reporters and bloggers in the future, the judge skirted the issue of whether the writers could be considered journalists. Instead, the judge equated releasing proprietary information to stealing.
Now if you're still interested, go read the New York Times' coverage of the case. From these two bits, it's pretty apparent that Unthank's victory lap was a bit premature, since this case was in the first place about illegal dissemination of proprietary information in a pretty narrow corporate context and not about anonymous sourcing in blog posts generally, as Unthank mistakenly thought (or hoped?). Furthermore, Gospel Commentary can rest assured that there's no need for anyone to be afraid, since the court ruling wisely avoided any far-reaching comment on the legal status of bloggers apropos source-protection (that is, the only people how need to worry are folks publishing trade secrets or other legally protected data). That's probably because the judge remembered that Congress is currently considering legislation recognizing bloggers as "legitimate" journalists - which would namely mean giving bloggers the same standing in Freedom of Information Act requests as old-media print and broadcast journalists receive. Upshot: The wind seems to blowing in the direction of more, rather than less, protections and privilege for new media.Email this Post

I don't know if it's the right place for asking help, but I'll try anyway :
Every time I make a animated video on flash, I work to sync the music, but when I add it on newground, my videos are all messed up, totally out of sync. Why the fuck ??? Even if I had a preloader in the beggining ! I just make a new layer for my music... Is their any other way I can add music on flash ??
It's killing me !! @_@

You can host the music files someplace else and link to them from within the flash, but they won't be loaded by the preloader, so that'll only give you more trouble. Everything should sync fine . . .
2008-11-08 23:30:47
Is the audio event stream or start? Put it on stream. That should help. Can't think of anything else it would be.
2008-11-09 01:34:13
Check if your audio is stream or event and toggle with those. If that doesnt work I'd suggest using the "attach sound object method" that attaches music to the first frame of the animation by creating and object from a song in the .FLA library. This method is truly flawless and I use it for all my audio purposes. Chek it out online and you cant find it I can post the code for it on here.

Check with Adam Phillips, he has tutorials and does tech support :P
His homepage is here:
Has some nice flashes there too.
2009-01-04 00:40:56
You may want to ask some people who have done good lip synching...
Because I don't really know anyone off the top of my head (besides snowdragon at http://snowdragon.newgrounds.com/), that's probably all I'm going to say... Oh, and if you wan't more comments, i'd suggest going to other people's pages and becoming friends or just commenting. Also, you might want to get or make a user pic...

I haven't opened the box yet, but I read on the motorola site that you need to get a license for any 2 way radio that has both FRS & GMRS. I know you don't need a license for the FRS but since it has both it said you need a license. Anyone have any light to shed on this? They might not be worth it if i have to buy and additional $80 license. I have the Motorola Talabout T6510XLR pack from costco, they are yellow and it says they can go up to 10 miles.

Additional Viewing Opportunities for Frans Hals, Heroic Africans, Infinite Jest, and The Art of Dissent exhibitions
A diverse roster of special exhibitions, permanent collection galleries, and amenities will be open to the public at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Columbus Day, October 10—the next in the series of Met Holiday Mondays. These are extra public viewing days that take place on the Mondays of major holiday weeks and weekends, when historically the Museum has been closed. The four popular exhibitions that will be featured this Columbus Day are: Frans Hals in the Metropolitan Museum; Heroic Africans: Legendary Leaders, Iconic Sculptures; Infinite Jest: Caricature and Satire from Leonardo to Levine; and The Art of Dissent in 17th-century China: Masterpieces of Ming Loyalist Art from the Chih Lo Lou Collection.
Columbus Day is the final opportunity to view Frans Hals in the Metropolitan Museum, an exhibition of 13 paintings by the celebrated Dutch artist Frans Hals (1582/83–1666), whose portraits and genre scenes were famous in his lifetime for their immediacy and dazzling brushwork (on view through October 10). Infinite Jest: Caricature and Satire from Leonardo to Levine explores humorous imagery from the Italian Renaissance to the present, from the elevated to the rudely humorous, drawn in large part from the Museum's collection (through March 4). The international loan exhibition Heroic Africans: Legendary Leaders, Iconic Sculptures features more than 100 masterpieces from eight sculptural traditions from West and Central Africa that challenge conventional perceptions of African art (through January 19). And The Art of Dissent in 17th-Century China: Masterpieces of Ming Loyalist Art from the Chih Lo Lou Collection showcases more than 60 landscapes and calligraphies that were created in response to the collapse of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) and subsequent conquest of China by semi-nomadic Manchu tribesmen (through January 2).
Emily K. Rafferty, President of the Metropolitan Museum, commented: "This Columbus Day marks the eight-year anniversary of the Met Holiday Monday program. In that time, more than 100,000 people have taken advantage of these extra viewing days to see special exhibitions, or to explore the Met with their family and friends. We hope that visitors who have been here before will come again, and that tourists or residents who have not been to the Museum will come see what they have been missing."
Charles H. Tally Holiday Monday Family Programs specially organized for Columbus Day include discussion and sketching activities that will be available for families with children ages 5 through 12 at 11 a.m., noon, 1:15 and 2:30 p.m. These programs are free with Museum admission.
The Metropolitan's public cafés and restaurants, and several Museum shops in the Main Building will be open.
The next two Met Holiday Mondays will be during Christmas/New Year's Week, on December 26, 2011, and January 2, 2012, when a different selection of exhibitions and galleries will be open.

I requested my withdrawal on the 4th of February, on amount 480 euros. They kept my money for the following 6days (pending time-extremely long time in comparison with other casinos)Then I was told that on the 10th of February my money had been sent to my account. Today, so 8 days later I still haven't received my money and whenever I contact the casino they just ask me to wait or simply are telling me that they sent the money-and actually is my problem now. I put all my deposits with them using my Debit not credit card-previously making sure I can do so. So I was trying to find out if that could be the reason-but this fact was completely ignored, But when I was making my deposits they were leaving my account within 2 days-so why the other way around it is so difficult to be completed? I'm very disappointed with the way I'm treated and I would never recommend this casino to anyone. I informed them I was going to complain. I was told I will be sent the proof of my withdrawal to be sent. That never happened. I just want my money and forget about this 2 weeks stress. Here I'm sending my bank statement for the last 8 days voucherreseller and eproreseller this are my payments for Dublinbet.As you ca see nothing arrived form them.Im really looking forward to get some help from you as all my efforts to resolve his in friendly way wasn't working,.
Hi Slawomir,
We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience in Dublinbet was not a good one.
Payments are one of the topics that matters the most to our clients - and we understand you! Let me go through your case with you, step by step:
- Your payment, requested on the 10th, was processed on the 16th, which means 4 working days. Our T&Cs state that payouts are processed within 7 working days, though we make a point to pay our clients as fast as possible. With 4 working days, your payment was processed within the normal times.
- The banking times (meaning the time between the moment your payment is processed by our financial team and the moment it is credited into your bank account) are usually of 3 working days for countries for the Euro zone. But it can take up to 7 working days for countries out of the Euro zone, as it is your case.
As per our support: They informed you of the status of your payment, the process and the banking times, they kindly asked you for your patience, and they requested the proof of payment for you (you will have it shortly).
A good client experience is always our main focus and we hope you get paid as fast as possible, but banking times are beyond our control. Calculating 7 working days from the 16th means that you will get your winnings into your bank account by the 25th.
Let us know when you get paid, so we continue following up on your case.
And by the way: Congratulations on your winnings! It is on the way, but you did win a nice amount, superior to your deposits :)
The Dublinbet Team
My money has just arrived to my account!15days since I requested to withdraw them,9days till they reached my account!!!!The issue is over.I will not play with them again...shame as the sellection of games is great.
Thank you for keeping us posted, Slawomir. We are glad to know that this issue is solved :)
Yes,i think we can close this complaint.
Based on the player's last comment we consider this case as resolved and officially closed.

Up until this point, I have focused many of my posts on the motivation necessary to take action towards your goals. This week, I want to take a different route and analyze the motivation behind your motivation. Confused? Let me explain what I mean.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, most of us have particular goals for our lives. Whether these goals are financial, personal, spiritual, or career-based, we have a picture in our minds of how we'd like our lives to pan out in the future. For those that choose to act on these dreams, something inside of you pushed you enough to take action. Some piece of your mind nagged at your conscious and said, "Do this! You want this, don't you? Of course you do. You've dreamt about it. Now go and do it!" After much deliberating, going back and forth, and self-doubt, you finally acted on your dream. Whether it was to return to school and get your degree or to travel to all 50 states before your thirtieth birthday, you took that first step. And for that, you should be proud.
But I want to focus today's post on the process of identifying your goals, setting them with determination, and working towards their completion. And I want to take the time to discuss the fuel that feeds your fire for success. In my own mind, I have developed three simple steps that explain how we accomplish this process.
Step One: What?
This step is rather straight-forward. What is your dream? What is it that burns inside of you, itching to come out? Are you an artist who wishes to have a painting hanging in an art gallery? Do you dream of becoming a marine biologists and studying the lifeforms found in vast regions of the world? What is your dream?
With this step, don't be vague. Don't set goals like, "I want to be happy" or "I want to travel". No, they won't give you the motivation to get moving. Instead, you should ask, "What would make me happy? What situation do I envision when I think of myself as happy?" Instead of saying that you want to travel, ask, "Where do I want to travel? What locations do I most wish to experience in my life?"
Step Two: How?
This step is where a majority of people give up, which is crazy when you stop and think about it. The "How" step requires you to actually take the time out of your day to create a plan of action. You must go from the idea of going back to college to actually researching tuitions rates, job placement history, academic standards, and funding availability. The "How" step will require that you apply to your top college choices, regardless of your fears of rejection or failure. Additionally, you must do more than wish to travel and you must take the step to set up a personal financial savings plan in order to put back enough money to make your dream trip.
The "How" is rather simple, but it is the step that scares away the "Want-To's" from the "Will-Do's". This is not the step where you finally build a successful business. No, this is the step where you build the foundation through research and networking. This step scares off many people because of fear, but if you truly want to succeed, it is necessary that you push through this fear and learn your "How". Because without it, there is no progressing to the final step.
Step Three: Why?
If Step Two is the step that prohibits most people, Step Three is the step that most people skip. You may ask, "How can you skip a step towards your goal?" Because Step One and Two are required if you are to achieve your goals, while Step Three is not. You must identify what it is that you want, and you have to learn how to accomplish your goals. But your "Why" is not necessary. Only strongly suggested.
To go into more detail, the first two steps focus on outward exploration of success. The situations and goals that you perceive are a part of your external experience, physical goals that you have set and can reach through hard work and determination. But Step Three requires that you look inward. Through this step, you asked yourself, "Why do I want this dream?" If you wish to write a book, ask why you are striving for this. If you want to start a business, ask yourself why. Is it for financial freedom? Is it because you want to help others? Do you want to set a good example for your children? Is your "Why" to walk away from your job and spend more time with your spouse?
Every person has a different "Why", and you will learn to use this "Why" differently than people that you know. But the reason this step is so important is because your "Why" will get you through the difficult times. When you are struggling to write your book, you must focus on your "Why" to get you through. When your business is on the brink of financial disaster and the bank is breathing down your neck, your "Why" will push you to work a little harder and make your next sale. When you've been working 70-hour weeks and you're physically exhausted, your "Why" will help you push through one more day until you reach the weekend.
Another aspect of the "Why" step is the desire that fuels your work and how you answer that desire. If your actions stem from the wrong desires (materialism, vengeance, spite towards someone, etc…), you will never attain the happiness that can only be found by reaching the highest goals that you have set for your life. Your "Why" must be of quality purpose in order for your success to bring true fulfillment to your life.
This three-step process is so simple that it borders on the mundane. What do I want? How do I get it? Why do I want to accomplish this goal that I have set? Those three questions can have a drastic impact on your life if you let them, and while you do not have to answer all three questions to accomplish your goals, the third and final step will be the most important. So take these steps and apply them to whatever it is that you wish to find in your life. Regardless of your desires, use these steps to create a detailed plan of action, and finally take the first step.

MyEssayWriting.com - Essay Writing Services.
A wonderful display of the use of mathematical probability to derive a large set of results from a small set of assumptions. In summary, this is a well-written text that treats the key classical models of finance through an applied probability approach. It should serve as an excellent introduction for anyone studying the mathematics of the classical theory of finance.In recent years, modeling financial uncertainty using stochastic processes has become increasingly important, but it is commonly perceived as requiring a deep mathematical background. This book shows that this is not necessarily so. It presents the theory of discrete stochastic processes and their applications in finance in an accessible treatment that strikes a balance between the abstract and the practical. Using an approach that views sophisticated stochastic calculus as based on a simple class of discrete processes-"random walks"-the author first provides an elementary introduction to the relevant areas of real analysis and probability. He then uses random walks to explain the change of measure formula, the reflection principle, and the Kolmogorov backward equation. The Black-Scholes formula is derived as a limit of binomial model, and applications to the pricing of derivative securities are presented.
Another primary focus of the book is the pricing of corporate bonds and credit derivatives, which the author explains in terms of discrete default models. By presenting important results in discrete processes and showing how to transfer those results to their continuous counterparts, this book imparts an intuitive and practical understanding of the subject. This unique treatment is ideal both as a text for a graduate-level class and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in financial engineering, operations research, and mathematical and statistical finance.
