so clean foods is just hype for nothing?
So I am getting confused. I have people telling me to eat clean to lose weight, and I have others who say just count your calories. Which is it? What am I missing here? Mods? What do I need to do to really shed some weight off.
There is no set definition for "clean" when it comes to food. It is a subjective word and every one has a different opinion/bias towards it. If you want to read and learn more in depth on it, check out this article:
The basics to losing/maintaining/gaining weight is calories in vs calories out. There are some other variables that come into play, but this is a nice place to begin at and adjust accordingly. So if you want to lose weight, you need your body to use up more calories than you put in (caloric deficit). This can be done by eating less or doing more work. I think most people would recommend to do more work since you don't want to end up like one of those people who eats only 800 calories a day.

What about insulin response? That has nothing to do with weight loss? its just a simple calories in vs calories out? What's the point in buying expensive "clean" food then lol
It's about moderation, enjoy some junk food every now and then, fit it into your macros and go back to clean eating. Don't live on junk.
"Clean" food is cheap.
I buy frozen chicken breasts, canned tuna, ground beef, whey protein (in bulk), rice and potatoes.
The "unclean" foods, like burger patties, prepacked/processed dinners, fried chicken at the deli, all cost more money per unit (pound, ounces, etc) than the "clean" foods.
Start adding up how many grams of protein and carbs you get for a meal of chicken and rice and compare it to a fried chicken sandwich on a bun. For equal money, you will get more protein and carbs from the plain chicken and rice meal.

Thanks commander. I'm not looking to bodybuild. My goal right now is just to drop weight and get healthier. I have a lot of physical ailments because of my weight gain. I do not have what it takes, nor have the drive anymore to even consider myself to bodybuild. I at one point, considered doing so and dropped 100 lbs 5 or 6 years ago using this site. You all know what you are talking about, always have. Plus, everyone else doesn't even train legs...all they focus on is arms and chest. Yes eating clean maybe cheaper, but you have to buy a lot more to meet caloric requirements. I can buy a loaf of bread, baloney and cheese, with regular mayo and make a 400 calorie sandwhich for the whole week for around 3-4$. Although, nutritionally its garbage. I'm losing my job by the end of this week and my wife doesn't like the idea of buying all this clean food she won't even eat.
only supplements I have are ON whey protein, chromium, magnesium. I can barely do cardio but will be starting the 13 weeks to fat burning this coming monday. I am very motivated to lose more weight again. I don't know if being on a cutting diet for 5-6 months will be bad though lol. I need to drop around 50 lbs
Once again I appreciate all the replies and help. I am looking for something a little more practical for me and the wife to eat while not breaking the bank.
Hey Commander, I think that you hit the nail on the head. "Clean" food isn't any more expensive than "Unclean" food. But, usually, "Clean" food takes a little more effort to prepare (e.g. your cannot order much "Clean" food from any fast food restaurant).
Commander came in with a great response. As I said, calories in vs calories out is an easy, base level place to start. It shows you around where you should be. Setting up proper macros and hitting them every day should set you up to eat "healthy" as well. Yes you can lose weight eating 1,000 calories from Snickers a day. But you aren't meeting your macros. You certainly aren't hitting your needed protein intake. People try to look at the extremes to disprove what we are saying, but how many people do you know who are putting forth effort into losing weight and are getting all their calories from Snickers? None. Most of us average people eat average food. Meats, dairy, grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables and even some treats every once in awhile.
What I have noticed in people who try to make extreme changes is that they do not last and rebound back to the same weight or higher. I have friends who tried to go from eating fast food and sodas to completely strict. Only water, chicken breast, vegetables, brown rice, etc. They make it a month or two and then quit, it's too much of a change too fast. Slowly make small changes and let them become habit before you make new changes.
How much does a banana cost, 30 cents? If you aren't eating 1 banana every day, then replace some chocolate/candy treat with 1 banana for the next month. You probably just decreased your calories slightly and saved yourself money.
How much does a gallon of milk cost, $4-$5? You just got about 128 g of protein, some quality fats and other nutrients for cheap.
There are many other examples that can be made but just start with a couple and go from there.

Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Unique I purchased these in the black floral and they are gorgeous. The fit is pretty much the same as the Romana Fest Sandals, except there is a wider band running across the top of the foot and a toe ring, and the crossover straps are a little further back. The strap fronts are a smooth lightweight fabric and are perfect for summer. The black floral color is true to the photos, and the fit is tts. 5.16.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by emmy__ going to punch holes in the straps It took me almost a year to convince myself to buy these, but I was intoxicated the first day I laid my eyes on them! I love the fit of the sandal, but like many reviews, the straps are quite slouchy... and my legs/calves are pretty slender to where they look a little strange. Since I love them so much I'm willing to go buy some sort of leather hole puncher to adjust the straps. My only other problem is that the vertical zipper in back twists around toward the side of my leg when I walk in them, but maybe after adjusting the straps this wouldn't be a problem. 4.10.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Aparna Trendy and eyecatching. Love these so much that I ordered the Romana Fest in black the minute it came back into stock. Also have my eye on the tribal print ones. I have thick calves and was worried about the fit. It is snug but looks good on my somewhat thick legs nonetheless. Would recommend this to other big girls out there, as these shoes balance the figure out really well and looks fash- forward too! 6.26.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by malvarez1210 Love these shoes!!! I just received these yesterday after contemplating for months on whether to get them or not. I LOVE these shoes! I do have big calves and at first as I was closing them they felt tight, however, I stood up, as someone else mentioned, and was able to zip them up all the way. They do stretch out a bit and you can accommodate them to fit. These are my summer sandals! Soooo cute! No regrets here. They are, however, very expensive. 3.21.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ladypruitt Beautiful for spring/summer! I had "stalked" these sandals on the website for months before finally deciding to buy them. I was skeptical because, although I'm not overweight, my calves are big: I usually can't wear knee-high boots. When I first put them on and tried to zip them my heart sank because they were very tight at the top, but once I stood up in them and walked around for a minute, they "slouched" into position--like in the pictures--and fit perfectly! I can't wait to wear these when the weather warms up! JC has delivered once again :) 2.17.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rottimom Awesome I ordered a size 8 and they fit perfect. The color in the picture may be a little bit brighter than in person but not enough to say I am unhappy with these. The quality is very good. They are comfortable and very unique looking. I love them and cant wait to wear them. The straps fit slouchy, just like in the picture. Love em 2.12.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Adithi love them I bought these in khaki floral . The colors are muted than in the picture. Other than that these are perfect sandals for the spring/summer to come. 1.16.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by luvcharm not really as pictured i tried both the khaki and black and had to return both. the colors are not as vibrant as in the pictures. they're more on the dead side especially the khaki (which is really brown). the flowers are not bright like what you see here. the buckles are a little bit bigger too. i'd stick to the regular romanas. too bad they don't look like the pictures. i would've liked them better if they did. 6.25.2012

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN -- I have never been so disgusted in my life!!! We stayed at Comfort Inn in Milwaukee Wisconsin at the end of June 2012 with a Lia Sophia conference. Everything was ok minus the fact I needed a refrigerator for my medicine which they say they have and was told they didn't have any. I had literally been released from the hospital the day before we went and needed my medicine to be refrigerated. Strike 1.
They have a front desk clerk named ** who was rude multiple times when we were there for our three nights. We checked out and all charges came off credit card 2 days later which was only supposed to be for incidentals. We paid cash for our room so our balance was 0 on receipt when I checked out. So when a week later Comfort Inn charges my account again!
I don't understand how they charge my card a week later when I obviously did not approve it because I'm now back in Ohio! I was disgusted so after three days of phone calls on the third day I finally get a hold of the manager but not after being treated unbelievably baddd by the front desk clerk ** again!
The general manager assures me it would be fixed that day. Check my bank an hour later and not only did they not fix it - they charged me again! Now my account is overdrawn. I have all kinds of fees from my bank and once again can not get a hold of anybody when I call back at 2 in the afternoon. There is no one there again who can help me! Can not believe this. I have more in overdraft charges than the entire rate I paid for they stay!!! So still waiting for a call from someone to fix!!
Meanwhile still getting charged with overdraft fees. As I mentioned I had been in the hospital for 11 days before leaving so I had not worked in a month!!! So now I have no way to cover their 400$ mistake and they are doing nothing to fix the charges with my bank!! Disgusted - it's fraud! I did not authorize these charges they are stealing from me and I have called for three days trying to get help and instead they charge me again.
And to top it off I was treated very badly by ** who yelled at me while I was crying on the phone explaining that I needed someone to help me! I will never stay at a Comfort Inn again! Be careful if you give them a credit card because they will steal from you!
NEW JERSEY -- Took my family and our friendly beagle dog to Comfort Inn & Suites Nanuet N.Y. location. Turned out to be a horror story shortly after. Wasn't there for more than 4 hours when my dog was mauled by 2 American Terrier Pit bulls in the back returning from walking dog in the dark in the back. Thank God the area has a wonderful Hospital called Valley Cottage Hospital. Family dog required life-saving surgery and stitches to close some gruesome wounds caused by these 2 attack dogs. My helpless beagle almost killed, was saved by the doctor at this hospital. This Hotel is anything but pet friendly.
Another room had a German Shepherd going nuts against the glass. Wonder which room had the lions, tigers and bears. A nice pleasant getaway idea turned out to be a nightmare. The Manager yelled at me because I dared to ask for help. I was mortified and embarrassed by his treatment towards me being as well as being in shock at the time due to this incident. Manager was most unprofessional, screaming out in lobby it was my fault. Hotel is not a secure place to bring your loving pet or humans since Hotel apparently never trained management properly in dealing with crisis of this magnitude.
I would not recommend this place for anything more than directions to another Hotel in the area. They won't even pay the life saving medical treatment medical bills for my dog nor return the points I saved up. Keep in mind people do go there who don't have pets. Their lives are in jeopardy when you don't screen the animals you accept or limit type of breeds you allow.
If you look up American Terrier which I did when I came home you will see these animals are by design breeded to fight. What parent allows small children to pet an American Terrier or German Shepherd without fear of being mauled? If you have children be careful - the back doors aren't secure and can be opened by accident from the outside as well as not closed properly to begin with. The lighting at night is almost non existent. No room numbers to indicate which room it is. All factors when making a decision which hotel has the consumers best interest in mind.
To wrap up this disaster Hotel says it's pet friendly and since they don't care what kind of animals they take in I would agree. However that makes it no human friendly. Be on your guard at all times because you never know when a dog or multiple dogs will escape and try to maul your dog, an adult or unfortunately one of your precious children. To add insult to injury they won't accept financial responsibility for their negligence. Remember dogs are like people and sometimes react differently under fear. There is an expression, caveat emptor means buyer beware. It most certainly applies to this Hotel. Good Luck.
MINOT, NORTH DAKOTA -- Reservation booked online 11-3/13-11/8/13. Checked in and requested a wake up call that never came because the clock did not work. No USA Today in the lobby, no replacement coffee or cups in the room, desk power not plugged in, lamp did not work, no nightly linen change, eggs cold at breakfast, and toilet seat loose.
Incredibly, this hotel is virtually brand new and I experienced many of the same problems the prior week when I stayed there. Although the staff eventually handled most problems within two days, I requested a refund of 2 nights under the Choice satisfaction guarantee and neither the GM or front desk manager would return my calls or emails and corporate would not honor the guarantee, deferring to property management who would not address the situation. I moved over to the La Quinta for the remaining six weeks of my project.
ATHENS, TENNESSEE -- There was only one person working in the entire motel. He refused to give me any military or AAA discounts off their $129 price and said it was not their policy because they don't have to since they can book all the big corporations in the area. So since my elderly handicapped mother and I were too tired to go elsewhere, we took the room. My pull-out bed was filthy with debris and dirt and I had to put the sheets on it myself. The king-sized bed for my short Mother was so high that she had to climb on it.
And we needed another blanket and a toothbrush and toothpaste so I called the front desk to have someone bring it to me because I was too tired from driving all day. The clerk said I had to come down and get it. Mom and I were already upset and wanted to leave and get our money back, but the clerk refused to give us a refund saying it's against their policy. There was no comfort at all! I suggest you go to another hotel because this Comfort Inn in Athens, Tennessee doesn't care about you at all! Oh, and I witnessed the clerk hang up on a telephone customer just because the customer was angry with the clerk's answer.
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- My husband had to go to school for Mercedes Benz for a week. They booked us at the Comfort Suites Choice Hotels for a week. When Friday came I asked if I could stay past the checking out time since my husband would not be finished at his school until 2/4 pm. The lady at the front desk reluctantly agreed until 1:30 pm. When I had to go get something out of my car and came back the key no longer worked! I asked the cleaning woman to open my door and asked what can I do about the situation, she just kind of shrugged it off and told me to just ask the other cleaning woman to open it for me!
What a pain in the butt that was! I had to load up all of our stuff by myself and had to ask that woman every single time to open the door for me! I really felt like if I stayed there for free! I will NEVER stay at another Choice Hotel or Comfort Suites again! Very bad experience and apparently I'm not the Only ONE with a complaint!!!
KLAMATH FALLS, WASHINGTON -- I stayed one night while traveling for work. After I checked in and was all situated I noticed some ashes in the window seal. I meant to call front desk and let them know about the ashes but I got busy and forgot. I didn't want to move or complain, I just wanted them to know that the house keeper overlooked them and they weren't from me. The room didn't smell like smoke at all when I went in so who knows how long the ashes had even been in there. Obviously the windows are overlooked and not cleaned regularly.
Two days later I notice my account was over drawn because they charged me $300 saying I smoked in the room. I called and talked to **. I told her it wasn't me, she said house keeping found the ashes and they are not refunding my money. They wouldn't listen to me or even hear me out. When I asked to talk to management or the person in charge ** the front desk clerk told me they aren't in town.
PORT WENTWORTH, GEORGIA -- Checked in hotel on Monday April 22nd with reservations for 6 nights. I checked out the next morning because I was up all night unable to sleep due to the loud noise from interstate 95. The noise was so loud it was if though my bed was in the middle of interstate 95. I called the front desk to complain and was told by the desk clerk that they were aware of the traffic noise because other people complained. She offered to place me in another room @ 3:30 am. I moved and you could still hear the traffic noise.
So the next morning when I went to check out spoke with the manager, he was rude and did not apologize but again stated that people complain but not all of them, and since I had a discounted rate then those are the rooms that you get. I was in the Savannah area on business all week. That was the worst hotel experience I've ever had.
BILLINGS, MONTANTA -- I was booking a room for a family member who was having major surgery. I booked the room and found out within a 2 hr window that the room was going to be needed for the next day. I called ** the manager who said no and their policy wouldn't credit my account back. I was upset not only that my family had cancer but also she didn't care. I spoke to her supervisor who said I wasn't nice and hung up on me.
I called ** back begging for her to understand. Her words were, "I don't like my family. I really don't care about yours." She put me on hold then another lady came on who said that something came up and ** had to leave. This lady was laughing and then hung up on me. This wasn't a game. I had no room for them, out money that they refused to credit my account, being laughed at, hung up on. Comfort?? NO.
BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA -- I stayed in a Comfort Suites hotel in Bismarck, ND and noticed when I got home that I was missing my cell phone charger and my camera. When I called the hotel they told me they found my cell charger but not my camera. I tried not to jump to conclusions and dug and dug through my vehicle and all of our bags but the camera was nowhere to be found. I knew I had left it sitting on the nightstand right next to the alarm clock.
I called three times begging them to just check the room and look behind the night stand to see if it had possibly fallen on the floor. I even told the head housekeeper that it was not even about the camera but the memory card inside contained every picture from my daughter's birth until she was 16 months old. Needless to say I have not recovered my camera and all of those pictures have been lost, thankfully most of them had been uploaded to my computer.
They were not sympathetic at all about my situation. I am very much aware that the hotels are not responsible for lost/stolen items but as a person you should have some morals! My camera was stolen from this hotel and it really saddens me that all those pictures on the card inside are lost forever.
15000 U.S. HIGHWAY 441, EUSTIS, FLORIDA 32726 -- We stayed at this hotel located in Eustice, Florida, (FLB51). When we arrived they were changing names from Days Inn to Comfort Inn & Suites. The front desk clerk was nice but did not know completely how to operate the computer and made some customers feel uncomfortable. But anyway my wife on the 2nd day had a rash started on her body and her neck became real stiff, so we went to see a doctor and it not get better. So we took her to the emergency room of a hospital and we had to stay most into the late evening.
When we came back, that next morning I had to go to a meeting. I came back so I thought early enough to avoid an additional room charge, and we had to check out. So come to find out they charged us for a full day and I called and the front desk clerk, he was very rude yelling and screaming at me and I felt very threatened. He said that the charge was going to stay on my bill and that was pretty much the way it would be. And by the way we had some type of marks on the pillow cases and there were some type of mildew or mold on the rim of the tub in the bathroom.
The front desk clerk finally said the owner would be in the next morning at 8:00 a. m., so I called the next morning and the front desk clerk said he was out of town for a week. So then I had called the corporate office and complained. They said he would respond in 72 hours. He did respond and said that the charges were right, he never asked how my wife was feeling or about what was said to me from his employee. So in closing I will see what type remedy will be allowed per the law and seek that! I will never stay at that hotel again and I may never stay at Comfort Inn & Suites because of this.

Martin's initial one-month stay at Pride Park expired after last Saturday's 2-1 home victory over Leicester, in which the 24-year-old scored his first goal for the Championship club.
A deal is now in place with Norwich to keep Martin in Derbyshire until May, with the paperwork due to be completed next week.
"We're happy Chris is sticking around and we were delighted to see him score against Leicester last weekend," Rams boss Nigel Clough told the club's official website.
"We have been talking to Norwich for around a week now, so it's good to get something sorted.
"We've been very encouraged by what we've seen from Chris and feel there's more to come from him too.
"He's not played too many games this season so he's been a little short in terms of match fitness and that side of his game will improve with the more games he plays, but in terms of his quality and use of the ball we have been very pleased with him."

Glee's Finn Tells Rachel "We're Endgame"! Does She Still Love Him?
Oh, Glee. We love it when you get all meta on us.
Fans of the show are known for their passionate fanbase of 'shippers, and during tonight's Season 4, Episode 14: "I Do," Glee called out the fan community in a very specific way.
It happened right after Rachel (Lea Michele) caught the wedding bouquet. Her ex-boyfriend — and ex-fiance, let's not forget! — Finn (Cory Monteith) was tearing petals off a daisy like a 13-year-old girl, convinced that Rachel still loved him. (She loves him. She loves him not. Flowers don't lie!)
Finn launched into a whole extended metaphor about how relationships are like flowers, and he ended with letting Rachel know that he's convinced that the two of them are going to be together forever.
"You're my girlfriend. We're endgame. I know that and you know that."
Yes, Finn just said "endgame." The 'shipper term for a relationship that is meant to be... forever. Finchel just went meta on itself. If that isn't a tiny little love letter to Glee fans, we don't know what is. He loves us.


text: John Peeler: The 2010 Pennsylvania Primary had a lot of good news for progressive Democrats. The 18 May balloting saw Representative Joe Sestak take out five-term Senator Arlen Specter, just a year after the latter switched to the Democratic Party in the face of an assured loss in the Republican primary. And, the Democrats held the seat long occupied by the late Jack Murtha. On the other hand, the most progressive candidate in the gubernatorial primary, Joe Hoeffel, finished a poor fourth, and the winner, Dan Onorato, is not only less progressive, but starts well down in the polls against the Republican nominee, state Attorney General Tom Corbett.

Each veteran and active member of the military can receive a complimentary ticket by presenting their ID card at the Allstate Arena box office.
"We are looking forward to honoring those who are serving and those who have served," said Mike Gordon, the Wolves President of Business Operations. "It's a small gesture by our organization to give back to those who have given so much."
During each of the three Military Appreciation home games (7 p.m., Jan. 16, vs. Texas; 7:30 p.m., Jan. 18, vs. Texas; and 7 p.m., Jan. 19, vs. Houston), the Wolves are conducting an Armed Forces Drive. Fans are encouraged to donate gift cards of any amount to benefit the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society and Fisher House. Gift cards for groceries, gas, and clothing are preferred, but all will be accepted.
The Wolves also are honoring the military during each of the ceremonial puck drops. Rear Admiral Philip Anselmo, the father-in-law of Wolves assistant coach Nolan Baumgartner, will drop the puck prior to the Jan. 19 game. Among other honors, Rear Admiral Anselmo has received four awards of the Navy Distinguished Service Medals that go to those who have "performed exceptionally meritorious service to the Government of the United States in a duty of great responsibility."
Wolves hockey operations advisor Mike Nardella will drop the puck prior to the Jan. 18 game. The 88-year-old Nardella served in Gen. George Patton's Third Army and received a Purple Heart for a wound suffered in Thionville, France. Nardella landed on Omaha Beach two weeks after D-Day and was a part of the 43rd Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron that secured and defused bridges as the Third Army marched through France, Germany and Austria.

WASHINGTON - Over dinner at a fancy hotel a few blocks from the White House, Republican senators wanted to know if President Barack Obama would support a gradual increase in the age of eligibility for Medicare, set at 65 since the program's inception more than four decades ago.
The president hedged, according to several people at the event, recalling the discussion on a cost-saving change to Medicare that most if not all leading Democrats in Congress adamantly oppose.
One later recalled that Obama "drew no bright line" in opposition, but the lawmaker came away believing that the president "would be very resistant" even if it might unlock a long-sought deal to reduce deficits and an ever-growing federal debt.
That lawmaker and some of the others describing what occurred in the meetings spoke on condition of anonymity, noting that the sessions were supposed to be private discussions.
The politically fraught moment came at the outset of Obama's widely publicized recent string of meetings with rank-and-file lawmakers. The unusual commitment of presidential time netted public praise from his most implacable critics and was supplemented by numerous conversations among lawmakers and senior White House aides.
No breakthroughs were anticipated and none emerged, and for all the warm talk, House Speaker John Boehner delivered a tart summation.
"Republicans want to balance the budget. The president doesn't. Republicans want to solve our long-term debt problem. The president doesn't," he said, while adding it was incumbent on all sides to seek common ground.
Across the hours, there were moments of levity, and an expression of gratitude to Arizona Sen. John McCain for his service to the nation on the 40th anniversary of his release from a prisoner of war camp in Vietnam.
Evidently the food was pretty good, too.
One presidential aide left a meeting with the Senate Republican rank and file toting a carry-out bag from lunch that featured lobster salad and blueberry pie with ice cream.
"Ultimately it's a matter of the House and the Senate ... getting together and being willing to compromise," the president said as he departed the Capitol on Thursday.
Even on that point, Republicans disagree.
Over and over, they told Obama, he must lead, tone down the attacks on them and lean on Democrats to accept concessions in benefit programs.
Over and over, he told Republicans that if he is to make concessions on Medicare and elsewhere, they would have to agree to higher taxes.
On that, there was little if any give, particularly with Republicans noting that Obama's approval ratings have recently begun receding for the first time since his re-election.
At the dinner at the Jefferson Hotel more than 10 days ago, Republican senators noted that some of the changes under discussion for Medicare would raise costs for wealthier seniors and also that higher revenues might result from what one called "pro-growth tax reform."
But there was no support for raising taxes, recalled one participant at the dinner. Several said the resolve stemmed from last winter's agreement to raise tax rates in legislation that contained only skimpy spending cuts.
By the time of his final meeting Thursday, Obama told House Democrats that, for now at least, they needn't worry about having to make concessions like slowing the growth of cost-of-living benefits under Social Security and other programs. Republicans, he said, weren't willing to contemplate enough additional tax revenue to warrant the trade-off.
Policy differences aside, there was an undercurrent of mistrust if not long-nursed grievances among Republicans, many of whom were getting their first look up-close look at the Democrat in the White House.
Rep. James Lankford of Oklahoma told the president he had heard that his first call on election night last November had been to the leader of the Democrats' 2014 campaign committee, rather than to Boehner, the Republican speaker.
Not so, Obama replied, saying he had indeed called Boehner first, but he was asleep. "Yeah, it was an early night for us," called out one lawmaker, drawing laughs from a group that lost eight seats in November.
Later in the same meeting, Rep. Tom Price of Georgia referred to a lack of trust between the two sides. According to participants in the meeting, he chalked up Obama's delay in presenting a budget this spring to politics.
The president replied that if he were solely interested in politics he would be running a "Mediscare" campaign rather than holding meetings with Republicans.
Across the Capitol, Sen. John Thune of South Dakota singled out an interview in which he said the president accused Republicans of wanting to eviscerate Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.

Yom Yerushalayim, Jerusalem Day
The newest holiday on the Jewish calendar celebrate the reunification of Israel's capital.
By MJL Staff

Yom Yerushalayim–Jerusalem Day–is the most recent addition to the Hebrew calendar. It is celebrated on the 28th day of Iyar (six weeks after the Passover seder, one week before the eve of Shavuot). Although Jerusalem has been considered the capital city of the Jewish people since the time of King David–who conquered it and built it as the seat of his monarchy in approximately 1000 B.C.E.–there has never been a special day in honor of the city until the Israeli army took over the ancient, eastern part of the city on the third day of the Six-Day War in June 1967.
Shortly after the Six-Day War, "a municipal unification" of the two sections of the city took place, ending 19 years of separation between predominantly Arab and Jewish suburbs of Jerusalem, following the War of Independence in 1948.
A Young Holiday
Due to the young age of this holiday, there is still not much which makes it unique in terms of customs and traditions. It is gradually becoming a "pilgrimage" day, when thousands of Israelis travel (some hike!) to Jerusalem to demonstrate solidarity with the city. This show of solidarity is of special importance to the state of Israel, since the international community has never approved the "reunification" of the city under Israeli sovereignty, and many countries have not recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish State (The United Nations "partition plan" of November 1947 assigned a status of "International City" to Jerusalem).
The Israeli education system devotes the week preceding this day to enhancing the knowledge of the history and geography of the city, with a special emphasis on the unique role that it played in Jewish messianic aspirations since Biblical times.
Reciting Hallel
The status of Yom Yerushalayim in Jewish religious life seems more ambiguous than the religious status of Yom Ha'atzmaut (Israel Independence Day). Following the model of Yom Ha'atzmaut, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel has decided that this day should also be marked with the recital of Hallel (psalms of praise), and with the lengthier version of Psukei d'Zimra (the psalms in the earlier part of the morning service). It is quite clear that ultra-Orthodox Jews, in Israel and abroad, have not accepted Yom Yerushalayim, but it is not clear how many Orthodox Jews chant the Hallel psalms on this day.

Woman answers to charge in crashApril 02,2013Woman answers to
charge in crash
A Brandon woman who police say was in a near head-on crash on Route 7 denied a pair of criminal charges on Monday.
Cheryl L. Barrows, 48, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of driving under the influence of drugs, second offense, and a charge of careless or negligent operation.
Barrows was arrested following a crash in November in which Pittsford police say her station wagon veered into the southbound lane of the two-lane highway and collided with the side of a pickup travelling south.
The driver of that truck, Brian Hitchako, 60, of Ballston Spa, N.Y., told police that the station wagon would have struck his vehicle head-on if he had not steered onto the roads shoulder at the last moment.
Police say a blood-alcohol test of Barrows came back clean. But Barrows told police she had taken a variety of prescription drugs before she drove and was described as being on the verge of falling asleep while she was interviewed at the hospital.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Families come in all shapes and sizes, including single parents, gay parents and children living with grandparents. Children have been brought up by gay parents in the UK for decades and it's now easier for gay people to raise children. Whether by adoption, donor sperm, a surrogate, or children from a previous relationship, lots of same-sex couples now have families, and there are now almost 19,000 children in the UK growing up in same-sex parent families.
Research into the experiences of children with same-sex parents for Stonewall found:
My sister said to me, 'I've got two parents who love me. It doesn't matter if they're a boy or a girl.' And to be honest I think that's the best answer anyone could ever give. Hannah 16 (West Midlands)
Many children of gay parents see their families as special and different because all families are special and different.
I don't think there is a sort of general, you know, stereotypical family anywhere really. I think you get to know anyone's family and there are all kinds of weird quirks and interesting things and things that are really great and things that are not so great. Megan 23 (North East)
Children with gay parents like having gay parents and wouldn't want things to change but wish other people were more accepting.
Children with gay parents don't like the way the word 'gay' is used as an insult in primary and secondary school. They say their teachers aren't very good at stopping it.
When people say 'gay'… I feel worse than other people. Mark 8 (London)
Children with gay parents said that lesbian, gay or bisexual people or families are never mentioned in schools and they find this difficult and it makes them feel invisible.
I can still remember when I was younger we had to draw a medal that said No. 1 dad. I said I didn't want to do it. And they just said … well my teacher, it was like a supply teacher, and if I'd have had my normal teacher I think she would have said well you could draw one for your mum, but she just sort of said … well just don't do one, don't moan. And I found that really hard. Katie 12 (East Anglia)
Sometimes this means they don't tell people they have gay parents. Children with gay parents want their schools to talk about different families and stop homophobic bullying. This would make them feel more able to be themselves in school.
From our work with schools and teachers we know that many teachers want to create an inclusive learning environment, but often lack the confidence and know how to do so.
Fathers' Day provides an ideal opportunity to celebrate the diversity of family life in modern Britain. Here you'll be able to find access to Stonewall materials and resources to help you do that. From story books, to posters, to DVDs, celebrating different families doesn't have to be hard.

My job is physical and repetitive, and like most people I also have bad habits in regards to posture. Treatments 2 through 4 effected so many changes that my muscles rebelled at being in a new position and I was very sore. Once the muscles began to get used to their new (correct) placement, this went away. As she works on me she also talks to me about habits that might cause the problem and what exactly has gone out of alignment. This has helped me to pay more attention to how I use my body and develop better work/posture habits. It has also helped me to identify when a pain means "out of alignment" rather than

The only reason I gave her a B for availability is it would suit my schedule better to be able to go after work or on a Saturday so I don't immediately mess up everything she fixed. But her hours are better than some other chiropractors that I have been to and she is generally able to see me on short notice, which is always appreciated.
Within a few days my pain level decreased tremendously and I started to gain my range of motion back slowly. Within a few weeks I was feeling like a new person, even sleeping better than I had in quite some time. After a few months of taking a break from running, I am back

I baked my first from-scratch yeast bread twenty-five years or so ago in that old Brooklyn apartment upstairs from my brother. Fragrant, golden loaves, heavenly manna, elegantly twisted Challah pulled out of my oven with all the pride and joy of a mother gazing upon her newborn infant. But the loaves were dense and hard, dry like the desert under the heat of day, heavy like my heart. So downhearted I felt that day that it was another ten years before I attempted a second time. Only to find yet another baking tray full of cannonballs in the guise of dinner rolls. But the siren's call of bread baking tempted me all too often. Photographs of fluffy, light-as-air rolls and gorgeous, crusty loaves with soft yet satisfyingly chewy crumb teased and seduced, and I refused to give up. Try and try again (and I honestly will not say undaunted) I plunged on, kneading and shaping, experimenting, tasting until finally, finally one day….
Determination finally won out and one day I simply had a revelation and understood the secret! My stick-to-itiveness paid off and I began creating the loaves of bread that months and years before I had only dreamed about. Watching the yeast bubble and foam, plunging my fingers into soft, powdery, ethereal flour and smiling to myself as it puffed up and floated around me, pressing my hands into the soft, smooth, sensuous dough, caressing, stroking, coaxing until it responded to my touch, bounced back to me when pressed, convinced me that it was all that I had been longing for. Patience along with some good old-fashioned trial and error stirred up with a lot of love and the perfect (or near-perfect, but that is okay as well) bread arrives on our table warm and fragrant, delightfully light and tender on the inside and crusty on the outside.
Bread Baking Day has been inspiring me for just about one year. This monthly blogging event was created by Zorra of 1x umrühren bitte and has carried me through many a month, kept me going and gave me one more reason to bake bread. Cookbooks strewn across my desktop and sofa, my coffee table and kitchen table, my fingers slide down the index page as I make my choice and the baking begins. If one has a desire to learn a new skill, master a new technique, then baking alongside friends is the best way. Encouragement and support, that gentle nudge forward, a kind word, advice when needed and a smile at the end of the day no matter the results all make for the best baking experience. I have come to absolutely love baking bread; the measuring, stirring, kneading, it is all so therapeutic, a fabulous way to work out the stress, and watching such simple, basic, earthy ingredients, flour and water, yeast and salt, blend together and transform into something so perfect, so necessary as one beautiful loaf of bread is more than satisfying; it is magic.
And today is World Bread Day. Zorra opens up her virtual kitchen and hosts this 5th Annual World Bread Day event today, inviting one and all to talk about bread, bake bread, eat bread. So roll up your sleeves, pull the flour off the shelf and let's bake!
Yes, baking bread with a friend is the best experience, the most fun and the most inspiring. This month I baked with Rosa. If you do not yet know Rosa of Rosa's Yummy Yums then…well, where have you been hiding? Rosa is a generous, warm and most humble person with an amazingly clever wit hiding behind her lovely exterior. Just peruse her blog and you will be amazed at her baking talent! One stunning creation after the next that still has the power to amaze me. Read any of her blog posts and her humor shines through carrying you along chuckling to each delectable recipe and gorgeous photograph. Now I am using mighty big words here, a string of superlatives, but I exaggerate not! But all of that aside – for just one visit to her blog and you can judge for yourself – Rosa has become a friend and for that I am satisfied. She truly is a kind person. And one thing that we two have in common other than our passion for baking is, well, we both participate regularly in blogging events and we both invariably wait to bake for any event until the very last minute. Which in turn makes us stress completely out. We worry and moan and look around every corner for that disaster that is surely waiting to sink our cake, curdle our cream or turn our bread into rocks. This month, knowing that I was pushing my luck and waiting until literally the last days to bake for World Bread Day, I happened to bump into Rosa and started chatting about it. And then I noticed her perfect healthy Bread Rolls and knew what I wanted to bake.
Well, it wasn't all bright and rosy. I fairly followed her recipe and found that this first batch of rolls were too dense for my pleasure. Although not hard as rocks they were far from the light and fluffy dinner rolls that I had expected. And the flavor was too strong for me – most likely the quality of the whole wheat flour I used and the ground linseed and goji berries I added. I rolled half up in loganberry jam-filled spirals that I found tasty enough and husband enjoyed the plain rolls with his end-of-dinner cheese and wine. But back to the old drawing board. Second time the charm! I altered the ingredients and some of the quantities, I used only a combination of white and chestnut flours, added some gorgeous raw honey sent to me by my great friend Barbara, threw in a few tablespoons mixed seeds for some crunch and the rolls were wonderful! Dense yet light, chewy with the delightful crunch of the seeds, just perfect. And thanks to Rosa, with whom I was on twitter ceaselessly back and forth during this whole baking rigamarole, for her support, tips, suggestions and jokes.
Perfect, tasty, light yet chewy dinner rolls
I baked, I ate, I lived and did I ever talk about bread!
Also sending these wonderful Dinner Rolls to Susan, baker extraordinaire, of Wild Yeast for her weekly Yeastspotting round up!
Adapted from Rosa's recipe on Rosa's Yummy Yums
1 1/3 cups (300 ml) warm water
2 ½ tsps (8 g) active dry yeast
2 tsps granulated brown sugar
3 ¼ cups (400 g) flour – I used French all-purpose white
4/5 cup (100 g) chestnut flour
½ tsp ground cardamom
2 tsps salt
3 Tbs mixed seeds (pine nuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds) and more if you want to sprinkle the top of the rolls
Olive oil for brushing the tops of the rolls
In a small bowl, blend the active dry yeast and the brown sugar then add the warm (body temperature) water, stirring to dissolve the yeast and break up any clumps. Stir 1 to 2 cups of the white flour into the yeast mixture, stirring gently, adding just enough flour to make a smooth, thick paste. Cover the bowl with a towel and all the yeast to activate, from 15 to 20 minutes. The mixture should have risen some and the surface should be bubbly.
In a large mixing bowl, blend the rest of the white flour, the chestnut flour, the cardamom, salt and the mixed seeds. Add the yeast liquid and stir until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and you have a scraggy dough. Scrape the dough together and push out onto a floured work surface. Knead for about 10 minutes, flouring the work surface as needed, until it is smooth, soft and springy. Place in a clean, lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat the dough with oil, cover the bowl with plastic wrap then a clean kitchen towel and leave in a warm, dry place until doubled in bulk, 1 ½ hours or so.
After the first rise, gently deflate the dough and turn it out onto the floured work surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape as you like: I rolled each out into a long snake, tied in a knot and the tucked the loose ends underneath. Place the shaped rolls onto a large parchment-lined baking sheet, cover once again with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel and allow to rise and double in size a second time, about 40 minutes.
About 20 minutes before baking the rolls, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
When the rolls have doubled, remove the kitchen towel and the plastic wrap and brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil. If you like, you can sprinkle the tops with more seeds. When the oven is preheated, bake the rolls for 20 – 25 minutes or until risen and a deep golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Remove the rolls from the oven and brush the tops once again with olive oil. If you like, you can sprinkle the freshly brushed rolls with coarse sea salt. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
