The Rhone/French Alps region
Isère is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from part of the former province of Dauphiné. Its area has been reduced twice, in 1852 and again in 1967.
Isère was also the name of the French ship which delivered the 214 boxes holding the Statue of Liberty.
Isère is part of the current region of Rhône-Alpes and is surrounded by the department of Rhône, Ain, Savoie, Hautes-Alpes, Drôme, Ardèche, and Loire.
Isère includes a part of the French Alps. The highest point in the department is the summit of La Meije at 3,987 meters. The Vercors Plateau dominates the west of the department.
Alpe d'Huez
The Massif des Grandes Rousses ski area is vast and varied, with 220 kms of runs consisting of 41 greens, 28 blues, 27 reds and 14 blacks including the longest black descent in the Alps!
The Vaujany ski region extends from Vaujany to Alpe d'Huez , with 65 kms of runs and 35 slopes catering for every ability.
One of Europe's most powerful artificial snow systems takes care of the lower slopes from 2700 to 1350m. At 3330m the Sarenne glacier takes care of itself!
The slopes here have something for everyone. Beginners to experts will not be dissapointed.

Surprisingly though, it wasn't - the hudl got the low cost device formula just right, good where it needed to be, cost saving elsewhere, and it was a sales hit, shifting over 750,000 units. Today Tesco announced it's successor, the cleverly named hudl2!

bathroom floor tiling project
We are remodeling our bathroom and want to tile the floor (5 ft x 6 ft area). We've removed the old vinyl flooring and are down to the subfloor which consists of 3/4" tongue and groove boards running diagonally over 2x8 floor joists. I was wondering if it was better to glue down 1/4" plywood, apply thinset and then 1/4" backerboard on top or just apply thinset directly to the subflooring and install 1/2" backerboard. The subfloor is in pretty good shape wiht a few gaps here and there. Thanks for your help! Marc
I'm very happy with the way it came out. Not a single squeek and extremely solid! Some say that you should use thin set between the plywood and cement board. This would be one way to do it as well.
Is your floor level? I would say that since you have toung/groove floor on the joists, that you could use a thinner 1/2 plywood or OSB. As for the backer board, you could go 1/2", but 1/4" would probably do the trick. Depends on how springy your floor is.
I'm assuming you took a good thickness of flooring out to get down to the t/g subfloor?
If your floor is springy, then I would use the 1/2" cement board for sure, but if it's solid, you could go with 1/4" plywood and 1/4" cement board. I would glue the plywood to the t/g and either thinset or glue the cement board down. Make sure you use plenty of screws.
It's 6 of one in my opinion...

About My Ketubah Collection:
"When I first began designing Ketubot over 12 years ago, most of the Ketubah designs available in the market at that time were very traditional in design. Being a contemporary painter, I was inspired to try something new! The Ketubah designs that were part of my earliest collection such as my popular Life Dance series, Two Rings, Tree of Life and All My Love ultimately became the foundation of my entire collection, incorporating traditional, biblical symbolic imagery but in a fresh and modern way. This twist interested and appealed to me. I liked the challenge of trying to depict traditional and timeless concepts of love such as commitment, individuality, family, and loyalty in a modern, artistic and visual way, much like creating a new language! The resulting Ketubah designs resonated deeply with modern wedding couples. Finally, they were able to find Ketubah designs that honored both the tradition of the Ketubah as a ritual object, as well fulfill their desire to purchase a fine art piece to begin their personal art collection."
Creating With Couples in Mind:
"I recognize how important the decision is for couples when choosing their Ketubah. It is often challenging finding a design that resonates with both partners, and that feels just right as a visual/artistic symbol of their love and commitment to each other. When designing, I always have the client in mind well before I ever pick up my paintbrush. My creative process is thoughtful and slow. I often do extensive research when inspired by an idea and it is common for me to make many sketches prior to beginning to lay paint on paper.
I liked the challenge of trying to depict traditional and timeless concepts of love such as commitment, individuality, family, and loyalty in a modern, artistic and visual way, much like creating a new language!
I am a visual person, so I can visualize what I want before I paint it, but the nature of working with watercolors is often unpredictable. And so, sometimes, the paint ends up directing me and I just have to flow with it. I love when that happens! I am deeply inspired by the graceful majesty of trees, the organic repeat patterns in a Klimt painting, the mysterious colors of the ever changing sea….look closely and you'll see these details within the brushstrokes of my distinctive style.
I love that my Ketubah designs appeal to true art lovers, and am grateful and honored that my Judaica is among some of the most highly collected in the industry. In the past 12 years, I have proudly worked with literally thousands of wedding couples of all faiths and backgrounds. My Ketubah collection continues to grow and evolve but my desire to create beautiful art that stands the test of time remains the same."
Whether I am painting for my own pleasure or designing for my growing list of art licensing clients, my focus remains steady; to create exceptional, sophisticated artwork that is infused with beauty and grace.
Beyond Judaic Art:
"What many may not know about me is that I license my artwork well beyond Judaic markets and have been steadily growing the Shell Rummel brand in the home décor retail marketplace. I enjoy the challenge of collaborating closely with manufacturers and retailers to design beautiful, quality products, and am proud to see my designs beginning to grace the shelves of major retailers, (like Bed Bath and Beyond!) worldwide. My current licensees include collections of fabric by the yard, Bedding and Bath Textiles and Accessories, Wall Art, Mitzvah Invitations, Stationery and Gifts. It is thrilling to be spending more and more time in New York City, visiting the showrooms that carry my collections, and attending trade shows where my art and designs are exhibited. Whether I am painting for my own pleasure or designing for my growing list of art licensing clients, my focus remains steady; to create exceptional, sophisticated artwork that is infused with beauty and grace.
I am absorbing it all and looking forward to seeing where this particular journey will take me. It is my hope that you will follow along."

"…..to create exceptional, sophisticated artwork that is infused with beauty and grace." I think Michelle Rummel says it best about her artwork. If that is her focus, it is a good one…. and one that has paid off in ways too numerous to mention. I got married almost a decade ago, and was lucky enough to discover the artist's work — a piece that proclaims my union with my wife and graces my home proudly. Yet, what many who work with Rummel soon discover, she isn't simply an artist extraordinaire, but a human being extraordinaire — one who tilts the balance of societal fabric in the right direction. I wish her continued success in business and life, and am always thrilled to see her get the press she deserves.
A few years ago, my daughter in law called me about an idea she had for a 10th anniversary gift for her husband (my son). She is not Jewish but after 10 years with our family, has learned alot. She wanted to do a ketubah for him as a gift. We researched artists and loved the beautiful trees so I made a call. Not only did Michelle personalize it with the names, dates, etc. but she had the idea to put the names of their children in the tree. It looks beautiful in their home and was the perfect anniversary gift!
I have the great fortune to know Shell personally. And before I knew of her work, I was impressed by her gentle, artistic aesthetic. When I had the opportunity to view her work, I was even more impressed at how her personality comes through in paint.
I currently own more than a few of her originals, and love each one. Her work embodies all of her best qualities. I am so happy her passion and talent are becoming available to a broader community…the world is a better place with her, and her art, in it.
When I was looking for Ketubah's, I was not impressed with the websites and offerings available. They all looked too cookie cutter and unoriginal for my taste. I'm not sure how I stumbled onto Michelle's site but I'm so grateful I did. I purchased the Unfinished Symphony Ketubah four years ago and its proudly displayed in our home. I can't tell you how many compliments we get when guests are over, and I smile all the time as I feel the tree and personalized words/phrases that I included, touch my heart and remind me what marriage is all about. I see new artwork has been added, some lovely pieces! I just recommended Michelle to someone else looking as well for true Ketubah artwork. Keep up the great work!
When I first stumbled across Michelle Rummel's artwork about 10 years ago, I was struck initially by its visual beauty. As I have followed her over the years I am continuously impressed by her creativity, her use of color and shape, and how her creations seem to come to life. All of my senses come alive as I swear I can feel the wind blow, hear the leaves rustle and the water flow, smell the spring air, and the list goes on. She has the unique ability to arouse the senses and calm the mind all at the same time. It is a true artistic gift. I believe she is a talent that will continue to inspire. She has one of the qualities that only the best of the best seem to have….her work always leaves me wanting more. Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your gift with all of us.
Michael Handel nailed it: "one who tilts the balance of societal fabric in the right direction."
I've come to know and admire Shell's very accomplished work. But its all so much richer having also come to know her as an extraordinarily giving and supportive friend. The very best.
My husband and I were married five years ago in beautiful Big Sur, California. We chose the Henry Miller Library as our wedding location, amongst the redwoods. Michelle's invitations fit our style and wedding perfectly. We still get compliments on them. My sister-in-law is planning a wedding for next May and has chosen Michelle to do her wedding invitations. I've never seen invites like hers…I love her work. Beautiful, colorful and unique.
As a talented artist Michelle understands how visual imagery can be a powerful way to change the energy of a home and the individuals who reside there. She has a unique way of creating works of art that help chronicle the cherished moments of modern people young and old so that these memories live on forever.
I have had the good fortune to follow Michelle's work for over 10 years. A piece of her beautiful art hangs prominently in my dining room. I love to look at it each day. Michelle's work is truly special and I cherish it.
My path intersected Shell's serendipitously and instantly I could see and sense the wonderful Nature connected spirit that shines out, and is the theme for all who come across her and her work.
I first found Shell via her beautiful intricate photography, where she brings the natural beauty of the little things the vast majority of people walk past…
When I first saw her art and design work it made me smile because it is so much just an outward projection of that special soul that absorbs natural beauty and then she shares the detail of that moment
As your article mentions Shell is a very talented writer and her words are integral to her art. The World we share has beauty that moves her to share it
Some of my early favourite pictures that I came across where her treescapes, which are used to great effect along with her always personal and heartfelt words, in her Ketubah work. I always loved the Tree of Life paintings
While I am not Jewish I am contemplate incorporating the Ketubah notion should I be lucky enough to meet someone to share my life with and of course Shell's designs are so in keeping, contemporary but still carrying the essence of the Ketubah.
Over the years I have known Shell I have followed her art and the development of it into the design of unique and beautiful fabrics and products that bring her original beautiful artistic insight into the lives of homes around the World.
She is an expresser…we all love her art work and her words, but she also has a gifted eye for photographing natures treasure and a musical ear which appreciates the beauty that can be found there and shares that with those lucky enough to enjoy her friendship.
Bringing my Shell story up to date I am such a lucky person as I own an original Shell painting…it is one of my treasures and depicts a beach and ocean scene with the magical use of colour and with a flavour of Shell. It has very personal details which are typical of Shell's perspective on life.
At times it feels like rather than using pen and water colours that she has patented some great new machine that simply prints directly from her mind
If you haven't already explore her works via the above locations, then make some time to share her captured moments
Overwhelmed by the kindness here…Beautiful words that lift and fill me. Truly, you should see my smile:)
It is a pleasure to have my Ketubah art so beautifully represented by Ketubah.com. Thank you, Aliyah, for such a lovely feature post…you were a joy to work with on this project.
My gratitude to all who have supported me as an artist through the years by choosing my art… It is such an honor to know my art lives with you. Many of my clients eventually become dear friends as you can see from the lovely comments above. Connections in life are everything to me and I consider myself most fortunate to have crossed paths with so many who have enriched my life and ultimately, my art.

Ireland not rushing new 10-year bond - finance minister
- Order Reprints

By Padraic Halpin | February 23, 2013 9:35 AM EST
Ireland is unlikely to issue a new 10-year bond planned for the first half of the year over the next two weeks, Finance Minister Michael Noonan said on Friday after returning from three days of meetings with investors in London.
Ireland's debt agency, which has begun to gradually return to capital markets and pave the way toward exiting an EU/IMF bailout, plans to launch the new benchmark issue ahead of the resumption of regular bond auctions later this year.
Irish bond yields have tumbled over the past 18 months and are trading below the equivalent levels of Spanish and Italian debt, two fellow euro zone strugglers which have avoided sovereign bailouts, but Noonan did not see any big rush on the new issue.
"I don't think they're looking at it over the next two weeks and I don't think they have their mind up on the timeline yet but they're disposed to move sometime in the first half of the year when conditions are right," he told reporters.
Ireland, which saw yields on short-term debt remain close to post-bailout lows in its latest T-bill auction on Thursday, raised a quarter of its long-term target for the year in January when it sold 2.5 billion euros (2.1 billion pounds) of five-year debt.
Noonan said the sale this week of state-rescued insurer Irish Life for 1.3 billion euros further reduced the country's funding needs and that the debt agency now just has to raise a further 6.5 billion euros this year to fully fund the country for 2014, its first year outside EU and IMF assistance.
He added that the investors he met in London looked very positively on Ireland's economic recovery and the key bank debt deal struck earlier this month with the European Central Bank (ECB) to ease the country's debt burden.
"They're extremely positive on the story, they thought the deal on the promissory note was very good, it has changed their perception again," Noonan said, referring to the bank debt deal.
"The sale of Irish Life has changed the requirements of the NTMA (National Treasury Management Agency) as well. That comes off the debt. If the NTMA raises about 6.5 billion before the end of 2013, we'll be fully funded for all of 2014."
After Ireland's financial regulator said earlier on Friday that the country's banks have made big improvements in preparing to deal with the problem of mortgage arrears, Noonan added that he expected lenders to now act "pretty quickly".

In general, Salt Lake City police officers have handled their stepped-up patrols with "common sense and compassion," Minkevitch said.
Recently, an officer encouraged people hanging out in the area to help pick up trash.
"It was a beautiful thing to watch. There was this officer joking and cajoling people there saying, 'Let's get this picked up.' In a matter of minutes, there was a collective of people helping. It almost had the feeling of a neighborhood," Minkevitch said.
Small steps are making a difference, but the long-term solution to homelessness is permanent supportive housing, he said.
While government and nonprofit partners have made great strides in the past decade in housing people considered chronically homeless, the pace has slowed the past couple of years, Minkevitch said.
"The most effective strategy is housing; there's no two ways about that. We can get there. We will get there, without a doubt," he said.
Elizabeth Buehler, the city's newly named homeless services coordinator, said there are efforts on multiple fronts to serve the homeless yet ensure the Depot District is safe and inviting to residents, visitors and business traffic.
A three-month research project is underway to evaluate strategies being used by the city. Salt Lake officials have also reached out to other cities to explore how they provide services to homeless populations in urban settings.
Buehler, who has been on the job less than two months, said she has been impressed with government and nonprofit service providers' willingness to work together on the issue.
There have been some successes on the short term, such as the work of Valley Services cleaning up the area and changing the landscaping on the traffic median along 500 West. Obviously, the big gear solutions hinge on agencies' abilities to house people in settings where they receive supportive services, Buehler said.
While visiting Los Angeles recently, a group of Salt Lake City officials toured a facility that assists people who have recently been released from hospitals. They recuperate in supportive housing and eventually graduate into on-site apartments.
Salt Lake's efforts with respect to the Depot District are just getting started, and already there have been some successes, Buehler said.
"We're just getting this off the ground, and we're not stopping. We're saying we can do more. For me, it's exciting. It's nice to be able to help people," she said.

- Special dinnerFantasticDined on 11/22/2014I went back and forth about making a reservation here. I wanted a special dinner for our 25th wedding anniversary and I am a serious home cook. I have to say we were wow'd. Our waiter was right on target - very attentive, made fantastic suggestions and was always available. He really made us feel special on our special night. The food was very good, I do not have any complaints. All of our items were cooked to perfection - exactly as ordered. All our plates came out on time and together. This is not a place to come in for a quick bite. We waited some time between courses as you should anyplace that is serving prepared food just for YOU. Portions were large for a French style restaurant - so that was nice. We sat upstairs which was quiet and cozy but missing to neat "glow" that was visible in the downstairs dining area. I would suggest candles, dimmed lighting and/or some cute strung lights as they had downstairs. All in all, great evening! Aaron was a great waiter. Food as very reasonably priced and delicious. Would we go back? You bet!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DisappointingStevenDebLaneDined on 10/31/2014We booked a table here for the first night of our 20th anniversary weekend in Shepherdstown. The ambience is good and things started off well. Unfortunately they went downhill quite quickly. First, our entrees came out before the appetizer we had ordered. They did not have the wine we ordered. The entrees were a bit cold and the pomme frites were overdone and dry. Our waitress did her best but needed help. We would have sent the entrees back but she never came back to check. We were offered more bread when the entrees arrived, but it did not arrive until we had finished our entrees and any sauce-sopping possibilities had passed. The desserts were good. There was no manager around when we left or we would have said something then.Special Features:
- UnimpressedQueenofSpadesDined on 10/25/2014The service was friendly but slow. The chairs were rickety and uncomfortable. The ambiance was fine until a party of 8 was seated near us in the small dining room. They spoke, not loudly, but not quietly and we were forced to listen in on their conversation. The menu had very few choices. I got the steak with mushrooms and onions and the dish was presented with a pile of practically raw chopped onions with very few pieces of mushrooms. The dish was good, not great. My husband LOVED the special: salmon with a cream sauce. My feeling about the food was that it was mediocre and the price was too high. It was nice to get Chimay on tap, though.
- Yum!MomokoMoonDined on 10/18/2014I started with the soup if the day as a starter, tomatoes bisque, and my gosh, it was so good. Creamy and flavorful. For dinner I had the French Peppercorn steak. That was also quite good but cooked undergone. They gave me andmy boyfriend rare when we asked for medium. And the dessert was the best. A date spiced toffee cake, I highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AnniversaryMarkDined on 10/15/2014We made a change in day late with no problem. Parking could be hard to get close by. Front door seems to slam shut. Special entrée was charged a couple of dollars higher than stated, but did Not mention it for that small amount and since amount was reduced since vegetable ordered was not available and switched to a salad instead. Food tasted great and was a special anniversary dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine Dining in ShepherdstownGreatfoodfanDined on 10/11/2014Bisto 112 is our favorite restaraunt in a town notable for fine dining.

- Excellent Bistro CuisineCeadmanDined on 9/27/2014We've been searching for a French restaurant in central Maryland for awhile and we found a real gem at Bistro 112. All the key elements of a French bistro are offered: a prix fixe menu, duck, chicken and steak frites and a nice choice of wines. The frites were excellent! Also the cocktails were very good. I had the most authentic Brazilian caipirinha cocktail since I was in Sao Paulo. It was a little noisy due to a large party nearby, but it did not take anything away from our experience. We will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- very pleasant eveningneighborVIPDined on 9/6/2014I really like this restaurant. Lovely old house, and we were upstairs so it was very quiet. Food wasn't quite as good as out first visit--the salmon was good, but the bed of basmati rice didn't have much flavor, and the beans which were just laid across the rice didn't either. I really liked the salad and the ratatouille. The waiter was attentive without being intrusive. Would come back next time I'm in the area.Special Features:

- Excellent food & service, a gem.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/30/2014Dining at Bistro 112 this summer during the theater festival remains a fond memory. Just enjoyed somewhat similar bistro food in Pittsburgh this past week, and am reminded of how wonderful the food really was a Bistro 112. The chicken and the fish were wonderful. The wine list offered nice selections, well-priced, and especially suited to the food offerings. The bread was divine. The atmosphere is comfortable, yet with a bit of Parisian elegance--a true bistro.Special Features:
- The following 80 reviews are from the Bistro 112 reviews archive.

- French in ShepherdstownPlanetmikeDined on 7/26/2014Most delightful after a day of hiking through the woods. In general, I would recommend staying in Shepherdstown, if you are trying to enjoy the outdoors around Harpers Ferry. The choices for restaurants and lodgings are better. The owner of Bistro 112 accommodated us with outdoor seating under a trellis covered with wisteria and candle light. Our server Aaron was very attentive and experienced. Good choices of wine and food for all.Special Features:
- Fantastic experienceSoccermarkDined on 7/19/2014Came to Shepherdstown for an overnight stay, and discovered this gem of a restaurant. Superb food, outstanding service, and very nice ambiance of a historic house in the center of old-town. Staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, and owner Deb Tucker dropped by several times at our table to make sure everything was fine--and at the end even offered to take us back to our hotel which was a mile out of town. When in Shepherdstown you must dine at Bistro 112!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Limited menu, but great chefDiningmavenVIPDined on 7/19/2014This is a small, unpretentious place with a casual ambiance, but the kitchen is outstanding. Everything we were served, from soup and pate, to fish and duck, to dessert, had wonderful flavors and was perfectly prepared.
- New find!MangerDined on 7/17/2014Terrific pre -theatre dinning. The house salad is amazing. Service was timely, helpful, gracious. Date dessert was melt in your mouth. Will go again for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice brunch experienceBillVIPDined on 7/13/2014We were in town for the contemporary theater festival and met friends there. The menu went beyond the usual brunch fare, the waiter was great and helpful with the wine list and the overall experience was very positive. No booze before 1 p.m. on Sunday in West Virginia, in case you were wondering, so wine became our dessert.Special Features:
- Good food, good peopleTravelineaterDined on 7/12/2014We look forward to eating here when we are attending the Contemporary Theatre Festival. Had a great meal-as usual. This time I had the grilled Caesar salad and the blackened salmon - highly recommend both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not preparedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/11/2014They were not prepared for the pre-theatre crowd. Delayed one of our meals with no offer of compensation. They also did not specify the price of a special which was considerably more than the same basic meal on their pre-fixe menu. Our server was good, but had too many tables to serve and bus. Food was okay, but overpriced given the area.
- It all dependsBillDined on 7/11/2014We've eaten here in the past several times, and found it excellent. But depending on the night, the crowds, and the chef, any restaurant can have an off night. This time, somebody slipped with the salt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dedicated to local foodInnovativeDined on 7/11/2014Best descriptor is that it has potential. The salads were very good and the dressings excellent. The price fixed dinners were great value and the menu provided adequate choice. The owner is a real plus, warm, friendly and there when you want her, but not intrusive. The negatives-Service, very slow, uneven, and not responsive-although I gave it 2 stars, 1 would have been closer to reality. The wine glasses ,definitely not wine glasses to match french bistro food,- short and stubby or tumblers, although the selection of wine was a pleasant surprise with some labels rarely found in restaurants. One dish, the scallops and risotto was a highlight, the other main courses needed help. Would give them a second try.I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelyWeluveliDined on 7/10/2014The Bistro 112 is a wonderful place for lunch or dinner. The service was good, as was the food. We'll definitely be back!Special Features:
- a lovely french restaurantFoodFanDined on 7/5/2014This is our second time there. We ate upstairs and had this wonderfully appointed room all to ourselves for most of our dinner. The food was very French and very good. Service was impeccable.Special Features:
- OkayDined on 7/2/2014Salmon was overcooked, and potatos were undercooked. Would not recommend the pasta.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will returnCherDined on 6/28/2014Our server was knowledgeable and energetic. We appreciated the variety of types and prices of wine. We got the fixed price steak. Although the beef was a little chewy, it was nicely cooked with a delicious sauce. I would have liked some choice about the sides ( only potatoes were offered) and about the dessert. The owner stopped by and offered my husband an after-dinner drink to celebrate his birthday. Overall, an enjoyable experience. I would definitely go back.Special Features:
- Very niceDahktahDined on 6/28/2014Food was very good. I would call it "Frenchy" rather than French. For a small town in the mountains, it was excellent. We'd certainly go back and recommend it.Special Features:

Decoding 'Health Halo' Buzzwords for Better Eating
Low calorie! All natural! Fat free! Sugar free! High protein! If the delicious foods that shout these headlines at us as we push our carts down the grocery aisle are so readily available to those of us who are conscious of both our health and our waistlines, then why is it so darn hard to stay healthy and trim?
3 Reasons to Boost Your Protein Intake
As a Registered Dietician I get a lot of questions from friends about what they should be eating, and I've heard some pretty crazy things. One friend recently told me that in an effort to lose weight he's been eating fruits and vegetables exclusively for several weeks. Macronutrients are a vital part of a healthy diet; they alone will not sustain your body. While every body is different in its needs; however, a major component to all balanced diets is protein.
Understanding Stress and Managing Your Health
Do work, family or other circumstances have you feeling stressed? Does it bring inconsistency to your mood and energy levels? The root of the issue begins with stress hormones which can sabotage your health efforts when you're stressed.
The Question of Kale – Cooked or Raw?
Kale is one hot menu item these days. Everyone from A-list celebrities to athletes and politicians are raving about the health benefits of this dark, leafy, "king of the greens."
Eating for a Better Body Composition
Weight loss is a hot topic this time of year as people are donning their swimsuits and shedding layers to beat the heat by the pool and at the beach. Why is 'weight loss' the important topic of conversation rather than body composition? My personal training clients rarely see dramatic weight loss up front because the focus of my training and nutrition is to build lean muscle mass and create a healthy lifestyle.
Protein 101
Maybe it's time to reach your fitness goals once and for all, or perhaps you're just trying to maintain a healthy body. If your wellness goals include losing weight, building lean muscle mass is the best way to keep a strong and healthy body that will be prepared for any and all of life's challenges.
Carbohydrates and Their Importance in Exercise
Low carb dieting is often a hot topic among those who work hard to stay fit and make every effort possible to burn away stubborn fat stores. Not for me! Carbohydrates are not the enemy.
The Health Benefits of MCT Oil and How to Implement It Into Your Diet
Because of the way it is metabolized, MCT oil gives you quick energy like carbohydrates without the sugar content of certain snacks and candy that can ultimately affect insulin levels. MCT oil as part of your balanced meal also contributes to the feeling of satiety that may discourage you from snacking between meals.
3 Ladder Exercises to Improve Agility and Burn Fat
Wherever you are in your fitness journey, it is important to implement speed and agility exercises into your regular routine. 'Functional Training' involves improving upon these characteristics to prevent injury by strengthening your core, improving stability and increasing your reaction time.
Amino Acids for Health and Fitness – A Quick Guide
Amino acids are the 'building blocks of life,' meaning that we cannot live – let alone thrive – without them, as they are necessary for overall health and wellness.* Certain 'Essential' amino acids are only available in our diets through the foods we consume, and other 'Non-Essential' amino acids are available in food as well as are produced by the body as they are needed.

A hero is born
Disney's 'Big Hero 6,' lovable robot Baymax delight
It may be time for Olaf to step down as our nation's reigning cartoon character. Big Hero 6, the latest animated feature from Disney, contains a challenger to the throne: Baymax (Scott Adsit), another lovably chubby white wonder, who will bring joy to children's hearts and invade every home in America inside a six-foot pile of Disney merchandise.
Big Hero 6 (based ever so slightly on a Marvel comic of the same name) is the story of Baymax – and also his closest companion Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter). And then also their four friends, all of whom join together to form the titular superhero team.
At first, though, it's only Hiro, a young boy and an engineering prodigy, who'd rather spend his time in underground robot fight clubs than do something productive with his gifts. > Read more.
Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

LDF on 'BronxTalk' on the Challenge Against NYC Specialized High School Admissions Process10/09/12
In school districts across the nation, talented African Americans and other students of color are denied a fair opportunity to gain access to the life-changing educational experiences provided by specialized schools for high-achieving students and gifted/talented education programs. As a result, elite public schools and programs, which provide key pathways to college and then to leadership locally, regionally, and nationally, are among the most segregated.

Fisher v. Texas: It's wrong to curb diversity10/08/12
When I started school in Virginia in 1968, the public schools in my county were still segregated by race. When our school board finally began complying with Brown vs. Board of Education, a group of parents decided to start an all-white private school. They showed up in our driveway one evening to convince my parents to join them. My father — a white factory worker and a son of the brutally segregated South — sent them away unhappy.

Created: 08/11/2014 6:28 PM
By: Stuart Dyson, KOB Eyewitness News 4
The first day of school for more than 80,000 Albuquerque Public Schools students is Wednesday, and the district still has 170 vacant teaching positions.
That may sound like a lot, but APS has well over 6,000 teachers and the vacancies are less than 3% of the total, and school officials said they have more than enough applicants to fill those jobs.
Bilingual education teacher Angie Portillo was busy preparing for a tidal wave Monday. Her bilingual education classroom at Lowell Elementary will be full of first-graders Monday morning and she will be ready.
"We are ready for them to come back," Portillo said while filling and stacking folders. "The room is ready and now we're getting homework files ready for them – homework folders – getting all their pencils organized."
The hallway floors all over APS are getting washed and waxed, ready for 87,000 pairs of dusty kid shoes. School staffers are stacking textbooks in the classrooms, even though 170 of them won't have a regular teacher in them until later in the week.
" What teachers want first and foremost is to get hired before that first day with the kids so they can prepare their classroom and be ready when those students walk in," said Ellen Bernstein, president of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation and herself a veteran teacher. "That's essential. It's essential for the teachers, the principals, and most importantly for the students."
To make up for any teacher shortage APS will use some substitutes, and some other teachers will temporarily have to give up preparation periods to pitch in. The real solution, everybody knows, is to fill those vacancies. 77 of the 170 vacancies are in Special Education.

Review: Infocast Web media display not so talented
SAN FRANCISCO If you like the idea of a digital photo frame but are concerned about shelling out nearly $100 or more for the gadget equivalent of a one-trick pony, the Insignia Infocast may sound intriguing.
The touch-screen-enabled, Internet-connected device can play music and show news and e-mails, besides displaying photos and video.
Sadly, while the Infocast is a decent digital photo frame and Internet radio player, it needs a lot of work before this $170 device can claim a featured spot in my living room.
My biggest problem with it is the display - an adequate 8 inches diagonally, but not all that sharp or touch-sensitive. Good-quality photos looked fine on it, but they didn't look great. Videos shot on my iPod Nano or viewed through a YouTube application looked fair to dismal.
Beyond that, I often had to practically stab the screen with my finger to perform such tasks as opening applications or viewing e-mails. It seemed particularly bad when I was using the Infocast's on-screen keyboard. I often found myself pressing the screen multiple times before anything happened. That got old quickly.
Made by Insignia, a brand sold by consumer electronics chain Best Buy Co., the Infocast uses technology from Chumby Industries, which makes the similarly versatile (and cuter) Chumby devices.
The Infocast comes with one "channel" (think of it as a folder) pre-loaded with apps such as a YouTube video player and ESPN News. To make it really useful and personalized, you'll want to create your own channels and drag apps into them - all free - from an App Catalog you can access on the device.
I started out by adding "fun stuff," "news" and "social" channels and filling them with apps.
I got chummy with ChumbySpy, which flits among different surveillance cameras around the world. It showed me important scenes such as pigs bumbling around a pen in the U.K. and a bustling cafe in the Czech Republic.
Others were both fun and useful, including one that showed my friends' latest Facebook status updates and another that scrolled through the top New York Times headlines. Both of these apps were simply designed, allowing you to touch the screen to see a limited amount of content.
This limitation turned out to be a good thing, considering the size and insensitivity of the screen. On the Times' app, for example, you can touch a headline to read a full story and perhaps see an accompanying photo. There was no way to access other parts of the newspaper or any big stories beyond the dozen that scrolled by on the app's main screen; given all the screen-tapping it would involve, this seemed good.
You can also share apps with friends you select among the owners of other devices that use Chumby technology.
I had to configure many apps through a special Insignia website before I could check them out on the device. For example, before an app for review site Yelp would show me information on nearby places, I had to go to the Insignia website and tell the app my location. Why couldn't I set this up on the device itself, using its built-in Wi-Fi?
