Turns out Violet should've won Willy Wonka's factory and here's why
No, we're not making this up.
From unforgettable tunes like "The Candy Man" and "Pure Imagination" to the reveal of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory for the very first time, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was and still is one of the greatest musical films ever.
But whereas the movie ended on a heartwarming note - Charlie winning Willy's chocolate factory for those who forget - a new fan theory has come up that argues why the gum-loving Violet Beauregarde shoud've been the actual winner.
And folks, the theory is actually super convincing and makes total sense.
A fan who goes by the name of Evayna shared a passionate and impressively detailed post on her Tumblr blog arguing just why Violet should've won Willy Wonka's factory.
Despite prefacing the whole essay by stating that she hasn't watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in over a decade, her theory reads like someone who has done nothing but watch the movie on repeat.
Here are the reasons why Violet and not Charlie should've won the chocolate factory, all of which is summed up to be best of our ability:
- She's the most knowledgeable about candy and really knows her stuff, which was demonstrated when she managed to recognise Willy's experimental gum despite never seeing it before.
- Swapping to chocolate bars for the golden ticket contest shows she has discipline and is goal orientated.
- She is competitive, determined, hard-working, and willing to take risks, making her most fit to run a business. Her father is also a car salesman and politician, and could also help brush up her skills.
- She is most sympathetic to the Oompa Loompas.
- She's just a better fit as the next Willy Wonka compared to the passive naivety of Charlie since she's already passionate about candy, sarcastic, and gives no hoots about anyone else.
If you want to read the whole thing - which you should because it is crazy impressive - check it out right here.
Unsurprisingly, this theory caught fire with the internet and was quickly retweeted over 50 thousand times (at the time of writing).
While we love the movie just the way it is, we have to admit that this new theory does shine a new light on Willy Wonka, enough that our next rewatch will be tinged with the question of "what if Violet actually did win the chocolate factory?"
At least "The Candy Man" remains unchanged with this theory!

De3bes & Sons
Learning to Trust the Mysterious
Naming - Packaging
We were called upon to work on the creation of a new up-and-coming fast food restaurant, serving traditional Egyptian and Lebanese food. The cuisine may be called traditional, but the way we decided to approach this brand was far from it.
The restaurant's identity was based on an imaginary character that we called De3bes – a made-up folk hero, who also happens to be the restaurant's virtual owner. The character is grounded in the Egyptian and Lebanese cultures of the early 1900s, yet behaves like a pop-art icon from later in the century. An intriguing brand story also accompanies our hero; through his random narratives about him, his quirky looks, and his air of mystery, he builds a rapport with the customers, communicating the homeyness and goodness of traditional food, without the classical and all-too-proper identity that normally goes with it. The collective effect of this character, along with the vibrant brand colors and general feel, result in a light-hearted atmosphere, one that is fit for this type of fast food restaurants, its location and the customers.

Dear Flavia,
First and foremost I want to personally thank Flavia and her team for creating a once in a lifetime vacation for me and my family. I cannot say enough positive remarks in terms of the vacation and working with Road to Italy they understood what we wanted and met every request we made – if not exceeded what we had asked for. Flavia managed to organize not only a vacation for my family and I, but she also helped me and my father plan an entirely surprise portion of the vacation flying in another 6 members of my family for my Mother's 50th birthday. As you can imagine this required an excessive amount of planning and also a lot of work on Flavia's part – all of which was done perfectly. The surprise was absolutely flawless and went off without a single issue. When organizing tours and transportation for 10 people everything was done with such precision. Whenever there was an excessively long line we always had line skip passes and whenever traveling to a new city we had a translator there to help us meet up with the local guide. All the guides, translators and drivers were knowledgeable about that area of Italy and also fluent in English so there was never any worry about something being lost in translation. To be honest there is not enough positive words for me to use in reference to my experience with Road to Italy – this vacation was nothing short of perfect (and I do not say that lightly). Thank you Flavia and the entire Road to Italy team you made my mother's birthday something so special I am sure we will be talking about for years to come it was an absolutely perfect experience. All the Best Madeline
This vacation was nothing short of perfect (and I do not say that lightly)
Dear Flavia,

Videomakers have released a trailer for Tinder: The Movie.
The hilarious parody of the 2010 film The Social Network - which starred Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg - uses Tinder as a reference to send up the movie.
"I want to create an app which lets me meet girls," says the creator.
"Why don't you just go out and talk to them?" says a friend, before they also mock the point in The Social Network when The Facebook became just Facebook.
"Remove the 'h'," is said sternly in the video above.
"What just Tinder?" he replies.
There are multiple Social Network, Tinder and isn't technology just stupid-references and many many laughing points, but the funniest comes at the end when it all goes out of control. Watch and see for yourself.

The world tomorrow
Predicting the future is always a risky business.
Consider for example the futurist tomes of the 1950s. They were filled with pictures of cities under glass domes, anti-gravity cars, nuclear trains and conveyer belt footpaths. Somehow, they didn't show men carrying babies, women with briefcases, children with pierced eyebrows and people of Asian or African heritage. It's been described as the future predicted through the prism of The Donna Reed Show.
Still, there are patterns that might give us a hint of what's ahead. Some of it is captured in this piece from The Wall Street Journal, Thinking About Tomorrow. There is no mention of people travelling to work by jet pack. But it suggests that technology will change the way we shop, play games, watch movies and TV, make and keep friends, search for stuff online, get news and treat our privacy.
Shopping, for example, will become much more personalised as companies learn more about what their customers like. It means not only getting sales alerts on your mobile phone but also using your phone to buy something instead of pulling out your wallet. Game characters will be photorealistic. So you might be watching Die Hard 10, and decide to switch out the story to get into battle with some of the villains. Social networks will be everywhere and they will be a lot simpler to use. You won't have to sign up to Facebook or MySpace to keep in touch.
And there will be enormous challenges to privacy with the spread of mobile advertising and GPS tracking tools.
How much of this do you see happening? What's your take on the future? What are your predictions?

Women and the portable career
Plenty has been written about women and career paths. And much has been said that women are at a distinct disadvantage.
Which drew my attention to a fascinating Harvard Business School study showing that high-performing women are more likely than men to maintain their star status when they switch companies. The males went backwards when they changed jobs, the women stayed on top.
True, the study focused on stock analysts but the findings are just as relevant for other jobs.
According to the study's author, women are more likely to have portable skills. Men put all their energy into the power relationships at work. Women, on the other hand, are more inclined to develop networks with clients and contacts. Women are also more likely to have mentors. Also, women seem to be more inclined to look at a variety of factors when making up their mind as to whether or not they should jump ship. For example, does the organisation welcome them as an individual? The blokes? They just want the cash.
The study suggests that women have developed these skills because of the various road blocks they have confronted in the workplace. Skills that you develop when you are not part of the boys' club.
How many of you have noticed this? Has your career ever gone backwards when you have changed jobs? Do women really have an advantage?

Management by cliche
Good to be back.
Last week, I was having a drink with a mate of mine who had the misfortune of working for a boss who manages by cliche. You know, the kind of place where everyone is singing from the same song sheet
You know the usual stuff: "If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen" , "Keep going in the same circle" , "All in the same boat", "Leadership by example". Etc etc
And that's on top of all the other management buzzwords: on the same page, skin in the game, thought leadership, quality action team (QAT), paradigm shift, take that offline, out of the loop, go the extra mile, result-focused, client-focused, total quality, ballpark, ticks in boxes, value-add, touch base, core business, thinking outside the square, stretching the envelope, putting this one to bed, closing the loop, at the end of the day, hot button, interface, guesstimate, key players, killer apps, focus collectively as a group, user-friendly, bells and whistles, benchmark, declining core technology, slippery slide, fast track, win-win, game plan and human capital.
There must be a bit of it going around as suggested by this piece where one employee got into a cliche competition with his boss.
Does your boss speak in cliches? What about your co-workers? What is some of the stuff they come up with?

Whether it is about any desktop or web-based solution, to get the highest level of performance for any software, we need to choose the best software development company. And we must take care of some decisive factors while choosing a software development company. From the beginning of the search we should be little careful. Here we will also have little touch on the matter on how software companies' directory can help us in our quest of best software developers or the companies.First we will have a look on what should be the decisive features of a software development company:
- Find out if a software development company is capable of delivering the solution you are looking for. You should see the kind (desktop or web) of development you are in quest is a part of the package or solution they provide.
- How experienced are the developers in the company to the specific need you are in. For the lack of experience and expertise software turns into low quality or recur future investment for modifications.
- Look for the customer base, support and the satisfaction level of any company. You have to have a look at the portfolio and testimonials of the customers to confirm that your chosen company has good will in the market.
- Be sure that the company you choose to offer your project, guarantee genuine copyright products. You should get a product developed with licensed or authorize technical resources to assure your ownership.
- Get affordable development. Today competition is high. And there are hundreds of companies available to provide best services. So it is no problem to get software at affordable price.
- Today outsourcing projects is worth value. So if you decide to outsource your projects, make sure the chosen company has physical and legal existence. Otherwise you fall prey to frauds.
As you can see, the above points are the basic but the primary features of a software development company. Similarly, it is very much important to find out a true company. And to get rid of cheaters, you must search a company through software companies' directory. We have found that in these types of software companies' directory, we come across popular companies. These directories help us to search in a refined way. Besides that no popular software companies' directory enlists fake companies. Any software companies' directory is a source of thousands of companies at a time but organized in several categories.
So without any delay to get best software for you, first search a software companies' directory then choose a software development company according to expertise and experience. I am sure that your finding with a software companies' directory will lead you to software developers that can provide you best matching solution for your need.

Almost all the managers I've ever met are shitty. I mean, they might be good at their specific field, but they're not good managers. A good manager is good at managing anything, more or less. Sure, there are specific skill sets. Some are better with the organization, others are better at being cool under stress. But the central duties of a manager never change:
- Make sure everyone knows what they're supposed to be doing.
- Tell them when they've done a good job.
- Ask them why they've done a bad job.
- Do your part in getting it done.
Do that, and people will follow you into hell.

1. Batman's arch-villain the Penguin might want one of these.

2. Watch the moon orbit the Earth -- from the outside.

3. It turns out that both Laura Ingraham and Keith Olbermann are assholes to their coworkers. Jerkdom knows no partisanship.
4. Time Magazine is now lobbying for national service:
Time magazine isn't satisfied with reporting the news. It wants to play both journalist and lobbyist. Their website announced: "TIME is helping to lead a major push to make national service a priority in Washington. And we want you to get involved". In his "To Our Readers" article this week, Time Managing Editor Rick Stengel announced that Time has joined in a lobbying group called "Service Nation" to promote legislation for more federal government programs of volunteering. If the phrase "more federal government programs of volunteering" sounds strange, you're not on Time's wavelength.
The idea of "national service," like environmentalism, is so uncontroversial to statists that a news magazine thinks it can lobby for it without raising complaints about their bias. And why not? Both McCain and Obama want more servitude among Americans. Anyone who mumbles about freedom these days is just a fringe wacko.
5. Obama knows how to buy votes in Michigan: Obama pledges $4b in aid for Detroit automakers. This is the road to fascism.
6. "We are emancipating human imagination."

Now that the Rugby World Cup is over a few moments of reflection on a challenging but magical experience
It is difficult to measure the ultimate legacy of being a Team Base so soon after our involvement. However, during the two preceding years, we have built firm and we hope, enduring relationships with ACS Cobham International School, our co-hosts, Elmbridge Council and our local Chambers of Commerce to whom we express our grateful thanks for their support and cooperation. Our facilities have been showcased and acclaimed locally and internationally and our profile in the rugby community raised. We hope that our members and those who visited us from the local community enjoyed the experience as much as we did. Finally, many thanks to the Namibian and Italian squads who supported our community events and we truly hope that we will see them again.
Tony Balkwill
Chairman Cobham RWC Committee
Following a development plan which is now in its ninth year, Cobham have some of the best facilities of any amateur club in the UK. Our modern clubhouse provides social, meeting and training facilities of the highest standard and is regularly in demand for functions and conferences, whilst our floodlit pitches and training grounds allow all year round training for both our members and local schools. The quotes from the visiting teams that our facilities are ' world class' is a huge accolade to all those involved in the vision and development of our club.
We should express our thanks to our members and sponsors for supporting us in this endeavour, together with the directors and staff of Cobham Sports Association and members of Cobham's Netball, Lacrosse and Tennis sections for their patience and forbearance as the Rugby World Cup came to Cobham. Above all, our sincere thanks must go to Tony Balkwill and his Committee for all their work in making this Rugby World Cup experience possible.
Lionel Frewin
President Cobham RFC

There's a crazy rumor going around that digital scrapbooking is taking over the craft world. Traditional scrapbook stores are buckling down, gearing up, and getting their crop rooms ready for the eventual takeover of the laptop croppers. Soccer moms, grandmothers, and college students alike are turning in their film cameras for digital SLRs such as the Canon Rebel and Nikon D70s. MySpace, Facebook, TypePad, and Blogger are becoming the modern way of "getting to know" your new neighbors, and people love it. The modern face of the scrapbooker lies in just about every American woman with children, a family, or any sort of life whatsoever. Even some men have gotten into it. You, the photo retailer, see them every day. The frazzled soccer-mom bringing in the team photos to be edited or checking the settings on her new camera, the businessman dropping off a disk of photos to be printed-they are all the modern face of scrapbookers.
As a trade publisher in the craft industry for the last 20-plus years, we at Design Originals are not sure the crazy rumor is completely true. The digital scrapbooker may not take over the entire craft industry, but it's safe to say they are taking up a larger portion of it than some traditional scrapbook retailers are comfortable with. Who better to benefit from this new transition than, of course, the photo retailer. Digital scrapbooking is a rapidly growing segment of the photo market. This surge in growth has been especially inherent in the last 18 to 20 months, when the first digital scrapbooking magazines hit newsstands and the internet. While this rapid growth has caused some trepidation among traditional scrapbook manufacturers and vendors, industry analysts predict that digital scrapbooking will draw more newcomers into the fold than it will pull traditionalists away from paper and scissors. Digital scrapbooking seems to appeal to consumers who are well entrenched in digital photography, and busy moms who appreciate the speed and ease of creating scrapbook pages on the computer. Today men are beginning to take interest in the digital side of memory-making, in what traditionally has been a female-driven industry.
Digital scrapbooking has also opened up a new market for books and tutorials to help new digi-scrappers turn their current photo-editing software into their new "Scrapbook Room." Design Originals has taken a stance to educate new digi-scrappers in the ways of using Adobe Photoshop Elements to create beautiful scrapbook creations; through a collection of tutorial books.
The first in the series, "Digi-Scrappin' 101," walks the new user through all aspects of digital scrapbooking in simple, easy-to-understand terminology. Yes, we really tell them how to open the program, edit photos, and make scrapbook pages. We also tell them how and where to get their completed pages printed-with photo retailers such as yourselves.
In the second installment of the series, "Digi-Scrappin' 102: Brushes & Actions," we take the reader to the next level of creation. We teach them to do several techniques with Brushes-the digital equivalent of rubber stamps, show them the fun and beautiful things they can accomplish by using actions.

As the man who donned Marley's crown, Gregory Isaacs proves once again that he is a musical force to be reckoned with. Andrew Perry meets him
Win a copy of Love Songs, the latest Gregory Isaacs compilation
Gregory Isaacs, one of Jamaica's greatest musical exports, was recently honoured with a special reception at the island's High Commission in London.
In Britain, Isaacs is best known for the classic, Night Nurse, recently given new life on an advert for cough syrup. However, anyone who has explored reggae beyond Bob Marley will agree that his life's work warrants official acknowledgement.
His music's unremitting, Barry White-ish romanticism has made him into Jamaica's own Mr Loverman. Other highlights from his repertoire, including Love Is Overdue, Mr Cop, Slave Master, Soon Forward, Rumours – all count among the very finest in reggae history. Indeed, if Marley is reggae's equivalent of the Beatles, Isaacs could rightly claim to be its Rolling Stones, thanks to his peerless songwriting, unstoppable longevity, and a wildcat lifestyle.
He rarely gives interviews, an elusiveness often attributed to a jumpiness instilled in him by his brushes with the law – it's said he's been arrested more than 50 times.
When I arrange to meet him in a hotel in Wembley, I expect him to disappear before my eyes, or simply not turn up. As it turns out, he's a little restless, but far from the vicious creature of legend. He laughs often, exposing a golden front tooth, and politely offers clipped reminiscences about his childhood, in bitterly impoverished conditions in the Kingston ghetto of Denham Town.
"We had a rented Rediffusion radio," he remembers, "with a switch on the wall. My Mama used to iron clothes at home on Sunday evening, and listen to rhythm and blues."
Many of reggae's prime movers were turned on to music by US R&B stations. For his part, Isaacs was particularly smitten by honey-throated crooners such as Sam Cooke and the Drifters, and sought to emulate them at school concerts. He won a talent show at Kingston's Queens Theatre, but struggled to make headway amid the internecine chaos of Kingston's music industry.
Just as reggae began to strike its groove in the early 1970s, Isaacs found his voice with the exquisite All I Have is Love. In it, he cast himself as an almost Brando-esque outsider – penniless, vulnerable, shunned by society, begging not to be misunderstood by his would-be lover. It became his first substantial domestic hit, and he revisited that persona time and again.
With the albums Extra Classic and Mr Isaacs, he aired his new-found rastafarian beliefs, and his street-level observations about the political violence which engulfed Jamaica's 1977 election. "Bob Marley was one of my favourite artists," Isaacs says. "He sang politically conscious lyrics, yet he sang love songs, too, like I'm Still Waiting and Put It On. So it didn't really change what I sang about, because rasta fall in love, you know?" Marley's success "opened a lot of doors", says Isaacs. He made records for Virgin, Charisma and Island, all classics of the increasingly slick roots sound, which Jamaican studios were perfecting to sell to the world.
Isaacs's voice was profoundly soulful, and also brilliantly personified the easygoing grace which made reggae popular. When Marley died of cancer in May 1981, Isaacs, nicknamed the Cool Ruler, seemed poised to accede to reggae's throne. But the following year, just as he delivered the magnificent Night Nurse, his world fell apart. He was arrested for possession of unlicensed firearms, and spent six months in Jamaica's toughest prisons.
Isaacs still claims that he had the weapons for protection – "Just like you have a jacket to protect you from the cold," he says. And reggae's stars were targets for robbers and political gangs alike.
It was soon reported, though, that this was Isaacs's 27th arrest. He'd fallen into major-league drug dealing, and become hooked on crack, an addiction which had a debilitating impact on his singing voice, as most of his teeth fell out.
"Drugs are a debasing weapon," he says. "It was the greatest college ever, but the most expensive school fee ever paid – the Cocaine High School. I learnt everything, and now I've put it on the side."
Despite it all, Isaacs kept going, scoring occasional domestic hits, and with the release of a three-CD career retrospective, called simply Love Songs, there is a sense that he is keen to build on the admiration that his fans still feel. He is lining up a number of appearances at next summer's festivals, and, he tells me, will release a new album next year. "Proper melody and proper lyrics – it's gold," he says. The Cool Ruler, it seems, is back on song.
'Love Songs' is out on JetStar.

DO YOU SEE one?" I say, straining to glimpse the elusive masked bobwhite, a quail formerly extinct in its natural Arizona range and reintroduced in the last decade.
Some sort of quail-like birds are rustling amid the brush alongside the truck.
"No, I don't think so," my sister Monica replies.
David Tibor, a former ornithologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in California, confirms the quail are the common Gambel's quail.
"Oh, look over there," Monica says.
On the opposite side of the truck, in the distance, a pair of Chihuahuan pronghorn amble by.
With their black, spiky horns and brown and white colors, the pronghorn look somewhat like African antelope. The Serengheti-like grasses and expansive plains of the Buenos Aires Wildlife Refuge help in creating the illusion.
However, the American browser bears no relation to its African look-alike. But that doesn't keep us from feeling like we're on safari as we bump along in the 100,000-acre refuge.
Originally a stage stop in 1864, the Buenos Aires Ranch has a long history of human manipulations. Pedro Aguirre founded the ranch and constructed Aguirre Lake just north of the ranch. The seasonal lake finds use today from migratory waterfowl and shorebirds. Aguirre later went on to become a Pima County supervisor and one of the richest people in Tucson in 1886.
The landscape took a beating in the late 1880s when the number of cattle in southeastern Arizona soared from 5,000 head to 1.5 million, Fish and Wildlife Service documents say.
When a drought lasted from 1885 to 1892 many of the cattle died and the remaining steer severely overgrazed the parched landscape. The ensuing destruction caused the channeling of arroyos and the demise of native grasses, the masked bobwhite and the pronghorn.
The property switched hands a number of times over the next 100 years until, in 1985, the Fish and Wildlife Service bought the land for $9 million from a Mexican businessman.
Since then attempts have been made to restore the range and its former inhabitants.
Before the establishment of the refuge, the masked bobwhite was extinct in the United States. For 20 years the bird was thought extinct worldwide until some were discovered in Mexico in 1964. The bird's future in Mexico was uncertain and so a captive breeding program began here in the U.S. Releases into the wild met with no success until the purchase of the refuge, which allowed the control of grazing.
Even then survival rates were low--13,000 bobwhites have been released since 1985 and only 400-600 individuals are now in the wild. The goal of the refuge staff is to have a self-sustaining population of 500 pairs.
The birds, which live for two or three years, have failed to breed extensively, and so their numbers need an artificial boost every year.
"We do have some evidence of breeding, but it's very little," says wildlife biologist Sally Gall.
The use of wild Texas bobwhites, experienced at predator evasion and other means of survival, as foster parents to young masked bobwhites has been only marginally successful, says Gall. The Texas bobwhites are sterilized in order to prevent their breeding and introduced to young masked bobwhites whom they adopt. The hen and chicks are then released into the wild.
Unfortunately, either the parents, young or both seem to be separating after release, Gall says.
With plans for different release times, more initiation to wild foods and some more research, Gall is confident they can fix the problem and increase the bobwhite numbers.
The pronghorn are also staging a comeback. Originally 80 animals were released. That number died off to 40 as a result of predators and the hardships of survival. Now about 60 individuals roam the refuge.
Removing the reams of barbed wire on the refuge is one of the things the staff is doing to help the pronghorn along.
"There are at least 100 miles of fence," says Thea Ulen, outdoor recreation planner at Buenos Aires.
Ulen has made use of volunteers from the Sierra Club and the Girl Scouts to remove fence, and she and welcomes inquires from other groups interested in helping. Before contacting Ulen, a group should see if it can muster at least 10 people willing to supply their own gloves.
If so, then Ulen will meet with them, instruct them in the fine art of fence removal and put them to work.
Ulen says watching the pronghorn make use of newly opened pasture is especially rewarding.
The final challenge in restoring the range will be to bring the native grasses back, Ulen says.
Currently Lehmann's Love Grass, an introduced African species, dominates the grassland.
"What we have now," says Ulen "is a monoculture. We used to have a variety of Grama Grasses. They're still here but they're no longer dominant."
The foreign grass fails to provide food and habitat the native animals prefer. Ulen considers the alien grass to be one of the prime inhibitors of success with the masked bobwhite population.
With that in mind, the refuge staff conducts prescribed burns to beat back the Love Grass and allow the natives a chance to sprout.
"It's hard, but we're working at it," Ulen says.
With continued hard work and ongoing small successes, perhaps some day visitors will come to the refuge and see, as Pedro Aguirre once did, herds of pronghorn and bevies of quail amid fields of native grass.

I've been doing a lot more thinking about this site and what I should do with it. To be honest, some things are probably going to remain up in the air for quite some time to come; I'm just undecided on a lot of things about it. One thing I'm certain of, though, is that I need to move away from placing personal posts on here. The results of November's election made me aware that I have too much to say that I don't want to adversely affect people's reaction to my writing, especially since I have plans on putting it out there.
So I'm not posting any more personal stuff up here. No more health reports, no more mentions of goals outside of writing, no posts about what I'm doing in my daily life. I'm moving all that to a blog on another site. Someday, I may connect the two—that blog and this site—from there, but I don't think I'll be providing links here to that site. There's too much stuff that will upset future readers for me to do that.
From now on, this blog here will mostly concern writing. My writing, topics about writing I have an opinion on, et cetera. If you have a deep need to see my personal posts, use my contact form to provide me your email address, and I'll give you the link to my journal/blog thing. But don't do this on a whim. If you are not liberal in your social and political views, if you have any issues with people who have mental health problems, if you're in some way fundamentally religious and have no room in your mind and heart for an alternate view (even one you don't happen to agree with), or if you merely have a history of getting all riled up from the opinions expressed by a writer whose works you enjoy, please don't ask for the link to my blog. In my mind, it would be far better for you to continue in your life with your idealized version of me in your mind than for you to be in any way disillusioned by the real me.
If you'd like a peek at the real me without going full-force, follow me on Twitter. I'm not there much right now, but I am on occasionally, and may come on more frequently in future; take a look at my previous posts. On Twitter, I'm a little more real. It should give any who are curious about my social/political and religious leanings a good idea what I'm like and where my feelings on certain aspects of life and the world lie. My Twitter handle is at the right.

On February 17, 2012, Governor Christie vetoed a bill, which would've legalized same-sex marriage in the state of New Jersey. Nevertheless, New Jersey's legislature has until 2013 to overturn Governor Christie's veto with a two-thirds majority. Meanwhile, on February 23, 2012, victory was brought to the state of Maryland when Governor Martin O'Malley provided his signature for a bill that made Maryland the eighth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Couples of the LGBT community will be able to legally wed in the state of Maryland in January 2013, presuming that opponents of marriage equality do not succeed in their attempts to overturn the new law. Hopefully New Jersey's momentary defeat is a bump on the road towards equality, while Maryland's victory is promise for the future of America.
|Making Strides
After Cori and I are married in October, we plan to relocate, hopefully in the west coast. With wanderlust in our bloods, we crave a new environment and new adventures. I'll be applying to PhD. programs in the summer, while Cori searches for new employment opportunities. The world seems like our oyster until we think about the uncertainty of our human rights. In the states of Connecticut and New York, we feel safe and secure because we will be recognize as a legal married couple. Granted, we have six other states to choose from, which also legalize same-sex marriages, but they are not states that we desire to live in. America is making strides, but the battle is not fully won unit couples in the LGBT community are able to choose a home without having to worry about joint taxes, adoption laws, or even hospital visitation rights. Cori and I aren't ones to let legalities hold us back from living our dreams, but the mere thought of losing several of our rights is inescapably stressful. What is the best way to cope with the stress? Stay positive!
Cori and I are undeniably blessed to have parents who shower us with unconditional love. It is easy to weather any storm when you have a strong support system, especially when your support system consists of family members. My mom and dad, as well as Cori's mom and dad, have come a long way since they first discovered that Cori and I were irrevocably in love. Our parents were never hateful, judgmental, or intolerant, but it was an adjustment for them nonetheless. It is the ongoing acceptance, love, and support from our parents that fuels our hope for a positive future.

During the beginning of March, my mom shared a photo of a PFLAG mom on Facebook, which was originally posted by the Gay Marriage For New York fan page, and she wrote I love you as her caption. It's the little things, like my mother's post, that truly matter and instill hope.

Weekend Festivities!
Another great way to stay positive is to enjoy life and laugh with friends. Cori and I, along with Cori's little sister and our pup, had an amazing St. Patty's Day! Our day started with delicious vegan food, prepared by Cori, and ended with a movie night. Who says you have to be Irish or eat corn beef and cabbage to have a lovely St. Patrick's Day?

Best black pudding in Scotland: Ross-shire butcher scoops award
Fraser Brothers of Dingwall named makers of the finest blood sausage in the land.
A Ross-shire butcher is celebrating after scooping the top prize for the best black pudding in Scotland.
Fraser Brothers in Dingwall fought off stiff competition from ten other contenders to take the coveted title.
Shop Manager, Graham Mowat was delighted by the success. He said: "That's brilliant news. Since we were awarded the North of Scotland title in Elgin in May, sales of black pudding have steadily picked up but to be Scottish Champions will be a major boost. Now there are even more reasons for tourists to come into Dingwall."
The award winning recipe is being kept under wraps but the butchers say their customers have been key in developing the top taste.
"Our recipe has been perfected over the years to meet our customers' tastes. They appreciate our black pudding and I hope that others with come and savour what is now officially the best."
This competition, organised by the Scottish Federation of Meat Traders, attracted almost 100 entries.

Providing the Best in Educational and Personalized Fishing Guide Service !
I can offer you an unforgettable morning on the water complete with the best equipment available and top notch fishing expertise. This guided experience is a very personalized event that is tailored to education and on-the-water, hard-core fishing that will teach you the basics and beyond.
This will be an intense day on the water and you will end the trip with a vast sense of accomplishment and new tips and tactics you never knew existed!
Because fishing is a daily event for me, I am working my lakes all over the state and following the best action as they peak on the various bodies of water. 30 years of guiding has taught me to be on certain bodies of water on specific times of the year. This means I have hot bites going almost all year by leapfrogging lakes and following the trends.
Gift Certificates Available Here

"I have found the on-the-water experience with Steve a fun and enjoyable way to bond and connect with my best customers"
Andrew Neuvirth
Thank you for having the fishing trip gift for one of the company's benefits. This year (2008) I was one of the lucky winners of this gift. I invited my father-in-law to come with me. We fished on the St. Croix River; it was a beautiful morning with clear skies and a cool breeze. We caught just a few, but what we lacked in quantity we gained in quality. Steve our guide was surprised that I stayed calm reeling in a big fish. Well I do get excited, just more so on other sports.
- Mississippi River: A good smallmouth bass fishery that is very reliable if you can navigate the water. Access largely depends on the water levels and time of the season.
- St. Croix River: Excellent walleye, sauger and smallmouth fishing especially during the hot, summer months. Trolling crankbaits at fast speeds catches a ton of fish while the inland lakes suffer from the mysterious "dog days!"
- Mille Lacs: The best walleye choice in central Minnesota. This lake has been "on fire" the last two seasons. Come and experience the mid-lake mudlfats or the north end sand bite. I know when and where the best spots are on this lake depending on the month of the year. If you are looking for a wall- hanger... venture no further.
- Lake Minnetonka: Certainly not my first choice, but I will take you there if you insist ! The heavy recreational traffic makes fishing a bit tougher and the personal comfort is certainly affected. Walleyes, bass and northerns are there for the taking but expect a ton of competition from the fishing legions... this is the protypical city lake of course.
- Vermilion: Everybody's favorite lake in northern Minnesota. Probably the finest Muskie fishing available and not too shabby on walleyes too. The smallmouth bass fishing is excellent with more "numbers" than size.
- Wright County: I spend a lot of time in the Wright County area and have found a number of lakes that are good choices during the early part of the season. We go there when the time is right.
- Itasca County: A number of times a season I get to the Itasca County area for trips on the great walleye lakes in the area such as Cutfoot Sioux, Lake Winnibigoshish and Bowstring. There are countless lakes to numerous to mention.
- My Secrets: Yes, as with most guides... I have my secret little, out-of-the-way spots that are close to the metro area that give up walleyes rather consistently. These little gems have been found by my time on the water and exploration and Chinese Water Torture couldn't drag it out of me. I save these spots, both bass and walleyes, for those special people that really need a fishing "fix!"
- Your Lake of Choice: I do a number of gigs every year on lakes I have never been on. This is the ultimate challenge and I welcome it ! Have a cabin on a lake that is puzzling you ? Let me help you solve the puzzle... HAVE BOAT - WILL TRAVEL!
What's Included
- 18 Ft Lund PRO V, 90HP Mercury Motor
- Quality Rods and Reels
- The Most Effective Lures and Tackle
- 2 People for 1/2 Day (6:00 AM to 11:00 AM)
$440.00 (Hours are adjustable)
Be Sure To Bring...
- Clothing Appropriate for the Weather Conditions
- Good Sunglasses (polarized if possible)
- Sun Screen Lotion

If this new TV infomercial is to be believed, NeverWet is a "super hydrophobic coating" that will soon be sprayed on fucking everything. The water repellent is about to be distributed in the United States, so Americans can at last bring witchcraft into their own homes. The product demonstration is below, in which some scientists (warlocks) attempt to cover themselves and others with mustard, gravy, soda, etc. to no avail. They even turn a cardboard box into an ice chest. It's also totally possible to coat cell phones with the product—which could make dropping phones in the toilet a recreational activity instead of a disgusting disaster.

I met up with Ton and Elaine at the Town Hall station and we hopped on a bus to their place in Balmain, a super-cute neighborhood just over the Anzac Bridge. We caught up over a bottle of sparkling Shiraz and they took me to "Our Place", their favorite restaurant, where we had a great table in a quaint courtyard. I had a Portuguese espetada, which was absolutely delicious and one of the best meals I've had in a long time. We finished just in time to head to the local pub to watch the Federer v Murray match. Murray was just too tough.
We had brunch at another cute spot in Balmain which had amazing coffee and yummy acai smoothies. For over $10, they'd better be good!
By noon we were on a bus headed into Sydney to check out the live music stages set up near the Rocks as part of the Australia Day celebration. On our way, we saw a sign for free photos with a kangaroo. Since I hadn't seen any Australian "wildlife" yet, I figured why not? We headed downstairs and got our free pictures taken with not one, but two kangaroos! Hahaha.
It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze which kept the temperature and humidity manageable.
We plopped down on the grass for several songs by Tin Sparrow, a cool local funk/folk band, before wandering through the Rocks in search of lunch.
We spent the afternoon bar and band hopping, while I snapped several pics of the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge.
We were all still a little sluggish from the night before, so called it an afternoon and took the 5p ferry back to Balmain, which provided the best views of the day.
The next morning, we packed the car with a picnic and overnight bag and were off to Hunter Valley for a couple days of wine tasting. It was an unusually rainy day, but I didn't mind as I actually think rain is good wine tasting weather.
It did spoil some of the views on the scenic drive up, but was otherwise ok and probably kept other winos away. After a couple hours on the road, we took a coffee break at a quaint cafe in a town called Wollombi, and hit the road again fully caffeinated.
Hunter is a bit different from Napa and Sonoma in that most of the wineries are free and let you taste anything they have open. So, rather than paying $10-20 for a pre-picked list of 4 or 5 wines that may or may not be that winery's best wines, you have full reign to taste everything. I suppose free tastings is how it used to be in Napa before it got so popular. Free tastings = big bonus for me as I didn't have to drive 🙂
We stopped off at 6 wineries today. Tallavera Grove was our first and most scenic, overlooking rolling hills covered in vines. They also had a really nice Shiraz that I would have bought if I didn't have to get on a plane in 2 days.
Hunter is also well known for its white Semillon, so I made sure to start my tastings everywhere with a glass. Our second stop was at Briar Ridge, which didn't have the greatest wines, but was in a nice setting and a cute an affordable restaurant which made a good lunch stop.
Peterson's was next, and also Ton and Elaine's favorite. They do a couple red sparkling wines (a Malbec and a Barbera) which T&E love, as well as a couple of really nice bottles of Shiraz. We managed to taste at three other wineries that afternoon, none with wines worth mentioning aside from Tempus Two, which was in a very large industrial looking facility with large grassy grounds that apparently holds summer concerts, similar to Mondavi or the Saratoga Mountain Winery. I found out we missed Elvis Costello by a week. Bummer. Anyway, the wines weren't great, but the grounds and label were nice and I could see why it was so popular.
We finally decided to head to our hotel so our designated driver could join the festivities. Another bottle of wine, and a quick nap for me, and we were ready to head out for dinner. We talked the bartender at the pub into turning on the men's final and settled in with a delicious pizza and summer lager to watch the first half of the match. We retired to our room to watch Djoko raise his game while Murray's body got the best of him in the last two sets. Wow-what a tournament!! It was nice to watch in real time and have it finish at a normal 1130pm as I remember staying up til 5am with Chris in my ski house for the epic Nadal v Djokovic marathon match last year.
We slept in a little and woke up to another gloomy and even wetter rainy day. We decided to skip breakfast and just grab a coffee before hitting the road. Elaine and Ton know me too well, as they stopped off at Peterson's champagne house for one last tasting before heading back to Sydney. This winery had made a dozen different types of sparkling wine, which was fantastic! Sparking Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cab Sav, Blanc de Blanc, Rose…you name the wine, they had a sparkling version of it. Awesome way to start the day! They even had a super cute souvenir shop that I would have raided if anything would fit in my backpack! I did like and wholeheartedly agree with their logo and mantra "Life's flat without bubbles". Love it!
The drive back to Sydney seemed to take forever. Seems like the pouring rain and fog probably caused many others to end their 3 day weekend early too and the highway was jammed. Exhausted once back at their place, we all decided to relax and have a chilled out movie night for our last night together.
It was so great to catch up with Ton and Elaine in Melbourne and again in Sydney. There were part of my very close-knit group of friends when we were all expats in Amsterdam in 2000-2001 and I miss them a lot! Thanks for everything! I had a blast and can't wait to show you around San Francisco one day.

Contact: Scott Rector, 845-229-9115 Ext. 2025Hyde Park, NY –The Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites and other federally-managed places in the Hudson Valley invite all 4th graders to visit free as part of the White House's new Every Kid in a Park program. Starting today, students may go to www.everykidinapark.gov, complete an activity, and obtain a pass good through August 31, 2016. Passes will allow the student and his/her family free entry to more than 2,000 federal recreation areas including national parks.
"During the National Park Service's centennial celebration, we're especially eager to introduce a new generation of students and their families to the Roosevelts' legacy," said Superintendent Sarah Olson. "We have activities especially designed for kids like a Junior Secret Service program at the FDR home and a Junior Ranger challenge at Val-Kill. But our sites aren't just house tours and costumes.
"Here in Hyde Park, we've got places to run and play, explore and learn. There are gardens and videos, more than 15 miles of trails, cell phone tours and geocaching, not to mention majestic views and lawns that are perfect for games and picnics."
In addition to providing every fourth grader in America with a free entry pass for national parks and federal public lands and waters, NPS is encouraging fourth grade educators and youth group leaders to participate through field trips and other learning experiences. "We've already developed special tours at the Home of FDR and Vanderbilt Mansion and will soon have one in place at Eleanor Roosevelt's Val-Kill," Superintendent Olson noted.
The Every Kid in a Park website is more than a portal to park passes. It features engaging learning activities aligned to educational standards, trip planning tools, safety and packing tips, and other information for educators and parents.
Every Kid in a Park's goal is twofold. First, NPS wants to connect fourth graders with the great outdoors and inspire them to become future environmental stewards ready to preserve and protect national parks and other public lands for years to come.
And, second, NPS wants fourth graders to develop an appreciation for the culture and history embodied in places found in their communities and throughout the country. Every Kid in a Park is an important part of the National Park Service's centennial celebration in 2016, which encourages everyone to Find Your Park.
Every Kid in a Park is an administrative-wide effort, launched by President Obama, and supported by eight federal agencies including the National Park Service, Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Education, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Besides places in Hyde Park, the 11-county Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area includes the following National Park Service sites: parts of the Appalachian Scenic Trail, Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, and Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River; Martin Van Buren National Historic Site, Kinderhook; Saint Paul's Church, Mount Vernon; Saratoga National Historical Park, Stillwater; and Thomas Cole National Historic Site, Catskill.

My family loves Mexican food. Not the junk food, Americanized version of Mexican food, but the real, authentic Mexican food. We've learned that you don't have to spend a small fortune, or travel a great distance to eat true, high-quality Mexican food. Our favorite new spot is Anna's Taqueria, with locations in Cambridge (2), Brookline (2), Boston, and Somerville.
Anna's Taqueria offers some of the highest-quality, authentic Mexican meals around – items like Tacos Al Pastor, Chicken Ranchero, and Chile Verde (all delicious, by the way). They also have some completely authentic beverages – including Mexican Coke (with real sugar cane) and Jamaica (a passion flower tea drink).
Service is counter service, and the food is all so reasonably priced that you'll want to try everything. I recommend ordering a bunch of different tacos and sharing them with everyone on your table!
Visit the Anna's Taqueria website for more information about locations, hours, and menus.
Disclosure: My family received a complimentary meal for review.

I haven't updated P-C in a few days partly because I've been busy (as always), partly because there's no news on the Office Management front (still), and a lot because every time I sat down to write this post I didn't know how to write what I need to write... So I've been putting it off.
Being a feral cat is hard. It's not the worst life, I imagine. It's better than many other kinds of wild animals. It gets a lot easier once you've in a managed community-- getting food and water, and, once you're speutered, free of the dangers of territorial fights and the unhealthy effects of near-constant pregnancies.But still, there's no way of knowing how old the cats in the colony are, with the exception of Paint (who I have yet to introduce to you all because I can't get a good picture of her) and Tuxie, both of whom showed up as kittens this past summer. And there are dangers, mostly from humans. So it's no surprise, although it is sad, when one of the ferals doesn't show up for a long time. Gremlin, for example, has not been seen in a long time. Even more worrisome, Little Grey (Amaranth) hasn't been seen for months now, either.
(Then again, sometimes they just aren't seen for months and months and months and magically reappear, the way Creamsicle did a few weeks ago...)
But it's more surprising, and more definite, when something happens to cats who've been adopted.
Last week I got a phone message from the woman who adopted Dolce, the littlest of the last litter. She'd gotten very, very sick. The vet's best guess was that she was poisoned by something, although she was an indoor cat, and her constant companion (a Chihuahua) is fine. It's hard to process this news, knowing so little, and knowing how young Dolce was, and thinking about her as a tiny bottle-fed kitten. There was little to be done, and what there was was astronomically costly and unlikely to work, and so little Dolce was euthanized.
Then, a few days ago, AZMum wrote to let me know about Gandolf aka Skinny Kitty. You may recall that Gandolf was not actually feral-- in fact, once he started getting regularly fed gooshy food by AZMum, he was quite a lover. AZMum had also been giving him daily insulin shots to take care of his diabetes. When AZMum and her family moved away from the apartment complex, they took Gandolf with them to be their outdoor kitty. Unfortunately, this past weekend Gandolf was attacked and killed by either coyotes or a neighboring dog. I'm grateful that Gandolf got so much more time, thanks to AZMum's care, but of course I'm also very sad to think of him gone.
I don't know how to end this update. I wish I had some cute pictures of kittens or cheerful news about being allowed to TNR, but I don't at the moment.
As for the rest of the colony, life continues, I'm glad to say. I've been feeding them up on the second floor, as per DNL's wishes. No one has taken away the new water bowl. Tuxie seems to live by the food dish, meowing to get my attention whenever I leave my flat. Mistoffolees can be counted on to be around most of the time too. Other regular vistors include Pigpen, Barnaby, Agatha, Walsingham, Bessie, Athos and Aloysius. I'm still regularly seeing Daisy, but not up by the food dish. Paint comes and goes, and again, not usually up by the food. Creamiscle is ghostlike, disappearing into the wood work just as soon as you've come to expect him.
I'll try to update again soon, with something more cheery.

Michigan Man Finishes Triathlon Carrying His Daughter with Cerebral Palsy[VIDEO]
You might as well grab a box of Kleenex, because it's impossible not tear up watching this video. Watch the story of Rick van Beek and his daughter Maddy, who finished a triathlon together, despite Maddy's cerebral palsy.
Most parents would do anything for their child, but Rick van Beek takes that saying to another level. The Michigan man recently completed a triathlon, consisting of a .3 mile swim, a 12.4 mile bike ride and a 3.1 mile run, all while carrying his 13-year-old daughter, Maddy. Maddy was born with cerebral palsy and has the capabilities of a three month old. She loves being outside and Rick used the time he spent training and exercising as an opportunity to bond with his daughter. He was quoted, "She is my heart and I am her legs".

Are You Married…..But Not in the Church?
We will have an informative evening on Bringing Your Marriage Into the Church on Monday, April 8 at 7pm in the Rectory Basement. Come ask your questions...bring your spouse so they can ask questions! Contact Sherry Smith (937- 1488, ext. 210 or email@example.com for more information.
There are many people attending Catholic parishes or in Catholic families whose marriage is somehow not fully recognized by the Church. Catholic Church law ordinarily requires baptized Roman Catholics to marry before a priest or deacon. Unless they requested and received a "dispensation from canonical form," Catholics who exchange marriage vows in the presence of only ministers from other religious traditions or authorized civic officials are not considered validly married in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Regardless of why couples marry outside the Church and later seek a Church wedding, the benefits are enormous: peace of heart, oneness with the Church, reception of the Sacrament of Matrimony and God's special blessing upon the marriage!

Time for Tim's tag for January, find it here. I was surprised to find I had most of the stash he used, just a few improvisations. Lovely tag to start the year and one that could be adapted for a mans card. Saying that, Happy birthday for the 7th Tim, hope it was a good one.
Had to use a different hand, and the sentiment I have had a long while but I liked the way it went with the clock embossing folder. I used the same distress inks as Tim, Rusty Hinge, IcedSpruce, Stormy Sky and Walnut Stain and some metal sprocket gears from my stash, the rest is very much as he tutors it. I loved the idea of stamping on the ribbon, I used a clock background stamp and then promptly rubbished up the photograph and didn't get it in, sorry! There are a lovely assortment of takes on this tag on Tim's blog. I was looking through other peoples offerings and found someone who has a notice board with the tag on and eleven black tags ready to do. Then I lost the link 'cos I'm rubbish on the computer, so I just want to say to the lost person, GREAT IDEA, I intend to copy it and get a cork board ready, thanks a lot and sorry for losing you!
Got to make my beautiful daughter number 2's birthday card now, so be back later (once I have given it to her). x

What I Learned From My Completely Unscientific Cleanse
I've always been skeptical of cleanses, juice fasts, detoxes, or any short-term diet that seemed too strict or worse, gimmicky. Over the years, I've attempted to be vegetarian, dairy-free, low-carb, and gluten-free. I've fasted on fruits and vegetables only, and have tried every commercial diet known to man.
Now I mostly eat a balanced diet. I eat meat once every week or two. I consume dairy in the form of skim milk and Greek yogurt or kefir. I don't eat many refined carbs or bread, but if the server places it in front of me at a restaurant on a Saturday night, who am I to hurt his feelings? Most of the time, and certainly at home, I eat vegetables, fruits, and fish.
Last Monday, I got on the scale after several weeks of restaurant meals, alcohol, and social events.
It wasn't good.
Luckily, my husband was out of town for most of the week (this was right beforeThanksgiving), so I made a snap decision: I'd go on a nutritious liquid diet for three days.
Before I tell you what I consumed for those three days, let me say that anyone who plans on doing any type of diet or fast should first make sure they know their own body.
I know what foods make me gain weight quickly, and I know what foods help me to take it off. I know how to make sure I have energy and am never dizzy or fatigued.
Paying attention to what I know my body needs is exactly what has kept me from detoxes in the past.
So, please, to thine own self be true!
I briefly looked up a few cleanses online, and after researching a slew of options, I decided to allow fruits and vegetables. Instead of eating them, I'd blend them into a smoothie. (I was also experimenting with a more spiritual fast, and attempting to control my snacking habit, so I wanted to avoid the physical act of eating for a few days as well.)
I also allowed kefir or yogurt, and I any vegetables I wanted, to help boost nutrients.
I knew it would be a busy few days for me, and that helped.
I started each day with my usual organic decaffeinated coffee with a splash of skim milk (and two refills).
Throughout the day, I drank water and home-brewed, unsweetened decaffeinated green tea – it's very important to stay hydrated during a process like this. For lunch on the go, I made a giant smoothie, which lasted me most of the afternoon: half a banana, half an apple (with peel), a handful of grapes, a few ounces of decaf green tea, half an avocado (omega 3 fats), a splash of yogurt or kefir (protein probiotics), a couple of handfuls of kale (really bumps up the nutrition), and blueberries (antioxidants).
If I thought about it, I also threw in chia seeds, wheatgrass or flax seeds. This was not necessarily a low-calorie snack, and it tasted sweetly delicious (even my grimacing mother had to concede after she tasted it).
Later, for dinner, I had a "soup" of blended roasted tomatoes or pureed squash and skim milk. A cup of hot tea with a squeeze from the honey bear, and the day was complete. (Don't forget to keep drinking water.)
After Day One, I slept very well, and awakened easily. I didn't feel hungry or weak. During the second day, I noticed a slight headache, which I had read would be probable – so, whether it was real or the power of suggestion, I just ignored it or drank it away with green tea.
By then, I noticed how fantastic I felt just by the sheer fact that I did not notice how I felt at all! I was not hungry, tired, sluggish, cold, hot, cranky…I felt perfectly fine.
By Day Three, I was anticipating that my yoga class might find me weaker or dizzy, but I felt stronger than ever. I could not believe that on the third day of a liquid diet alone, I was in a cheerful mood and feeling full of energy.
Day Four was a Wednesday, and I got on the scale.
I did lose a few pounds, more than I expected, but I don't dwell on the number because I went into the fast after a weekend full of alcohol, sodium, meat, fat, and culminating in ice cream.
So what was the real value of the 3-day fast?
It was finally realizing how little the body actually needs in order to function optimally – nutrients are important, but we have ourselves convinced that we need three large square meals to feed our engine.
I found out exactly how my body responds to less "static" and more purity, and it was a lesson I won't forget!
I broke my fast on the day before Thanksgiving, tasting some of my prep cooking, followed by dinner and drinks out with my husband.
Perhaps I will try another 3-day cleanse after this week, but the truth is, I don't have to unless I feel like it.
All I really need is to remind myself of the lesson, remember how well my body functioned (in terms of moving, sleeping, and thinking) on a high-nutrient, low-calorie, mostly plant-based fast.
I'm still not going to urge or advocate juice-fasts, smoothie cleanses, or detoxes.
Instead, I will continue to advocate paying attention! Find out what makes your body happy, and what makes it sad. Write it down if you have to, experiment!
You too will find your optimum weight, your optimum energy level, and your happiest self.

The study found that like the systems themselves, solutions to the asset protection challenges posed by mobile POS will be highly individualized and tailored to each retail business. As a result, the risk assessment matrix provides retailers with a framework through which to approach solutions uniquely suited to their business and customers. "The exploding use of mobile technology presents retailers with many challenges and opportunities. This study was designed to help asset protection professionals stay ahead of the curve by helping them identify threats unique to their business and to develop tailored strategies to address them now," said Lisa LaBruno Esq., senior vice president, retail operations for RILA. "The study was an opportunity to examine an emerging issue impacting the retail industry and to better understand how we can focus our innovation efforts to respond to these challenges," Farrokh Abadi, president and COO, Merchandise Availability Solutions, Checkpoint Systems, said. "It is exciting for Checkpoint to be a part of this process and provide retailers who are embracing innovation the information necessary to develop asset protection strategies that help them sell more and lose less." "Innovation is constantly reshaping the retail industry and it is important to provide businesses with the information they need to address the challenges associated with it," said Dan Valerio, EY's Americas Director of the Retail Sector. "The matrix developed from this study provides our clients and other retailers with the foundation necessary to assess their individual risks and develop informed asset protection strategies to address them as they continue to embrace innovation." The study, commissioned by RILA's Asset Protection Leaders Council (APLC), was conducted by University of Arkansas, Sam M. Walton College of Business researchers John Aloysius and Viswanath Venkatesh.
