What makes the Cleanse for Life liquid unique?
Cleanse for Life™ is not a colon cleanse or laxative product. Cleanse for Life™ is different because it nourishes the liver and promotes cleansing the entire body on a cellular level. And unlike other products on the market that may deplete the body of vital nutrients, Cleanse for Life™ actually nourishes the body as it cleanses.
Do I need both everyday cleansing and deep cleansing?
Nutritional Cleansing is most effective when Cleanse for Life™ is used as both a daily and deep cleanse. Everyday cleansing aids the body as it naturally removes the impurities you are exposed to on a daily basis. Deep cleansing aids in the removal of contaminants that have collected deep within the body tissues over time.
How often should I use Cleanse for Life?
For everyday cleansing, take 30mL up to twice daily. For deep cleansing, take 118mL up to four times daily, as part of the Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing Program. A regular cleansing regime can help improve and maintain your overall health and vitality. Refrigerate liquid after opening container.

Philanthropy education teaches youth about the civil society, or nonprofit, sector and the importance of giving time, talent and treasure for the common good. Philanthropy education equips youth by encouraging charitable behavior and empowers them to take voluntary citizen action for the common good in their classrooms, communities and lives.
A simple definition of philanthropy -- "giving time, talent, or treasure and taking action for the common good" -- allows even the youngest people to call themselves philanthropists when they help a neighbor, collect coats for a homeless shelter, or tutor at a local elementary school. These actions require no money to benefit society. And as the following quotes from 4th and 5th graders show, we feel really good while we're doing it. That is because philanthropy is good for the giver and receiver of the service.
"Philanthropy is something you do for free without paying because that means you have a heart."
"I helped someone by shoveling their driveway so they wouldn't have to come out in the freezing cold. See, philanthropy makes you and the other person very happy."
What is the philanthropy sector?
There has not been a movement for social change in America, nor any effort to protect the rights of a segment of society that has not had its roots in philanthropy. There are some things that government and business (and family) simply cannot take care of. So the philanthropy sector picks up the slack.
Serving as watchdogs and guardians of citizen rights, generations of Americans have stepped forward to safeguard democracy and protect and enrich lives. Historical efforts include the abolitionist movement, the suffragist movement, civil rights, environmentalists working to improve the quality of our air and water and other health groups raising money for research and care.
Why prepare the next generation?
"Good citizenship is tantamount to success both in and out of school and we, as educators, cannot afford to leave its development to chance. It is often said that history repeats itself. Perhaps by teaching the good and unselfish acts of mankind, we may steer youth into repeating the positive aspects of our history." -- Pam, elementary teacher in Detroit, MI
Teaching young people about the historical importance of philanthropy promotes its continued practice. We can't leave it to chance. If we want our future to include the arts, emergency assistance, activism and advocacy for issues such as injustice and environmental awareness, we need to teach philanthropy skills and give practice so students develop their philanthropic muscles.
Learning to Give has defined K-12 philanthropy education through academic philanthropy standards that cover the following essential skills and areas of knowledge:
- Definition of the nonprofit sector and sufficient understanding to compare and contrast it with business, government, and the family.
- Understanding of the relationship of philanthropy to core social studies disciplines: geography, economics, government, and history.
- Ability to discuss the relationship of philanthropy to core democratic values articulated in the founding documents of the United States.
- Ability to identify philanthropic principles in literature and to discuss insights gained through reading.
- Understanding of the human nature of altruism and motivations for giving and serving.
- Recognition of career opportunities in nonprofit organizations.
- Experience in identifying community needs and designing volunteer projects to meet needs.
- Demonstrating skills of citizenship.

Blessed Joseph Vaz
Apostle of Sri Lanka
Apostle of Sri Lanka
In the seventeenth century when the island of Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon and its capital was Kandy (not Colombo, as today), Dutch settlers arrived there. They were staunch Calvinists and did their utmost to extinguish the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka. All European Catholic missionaries were expelled, all Portuguese forts destroyed. Churches were desecrated. Tough laws were decreed against Catholics who were compelled to send their children to Dutch Calvinist schools to save their homes from ruin.
The Holy Spirit stirred the heart of a young priest of Goa, Fr. Joseph Vaz, to leave India and enter Sri Lanka at the risk of his life. The strong presence of the Catholic Church in this island today owes its gratitude to this Apostle of Sri Lanka.
A True Sanyasi
He graduated in the humanities in the Jesuit College of St. Paul and did his priestly training in philosophy and theology in the St. Thomas Aquinas Academy run by the Dominicans. The Archbishop of Goa, D. Antonio Brandao, ordained him a priest in 1676, at the age of 25 years.
He was given faculties to preach and hear confessions within the vast jurisdiction of the entire Archdiocese of Goa. But he had no specific ecclesiastical charge. He went home to his native village of Sancoale, a priest with a burning zeal but with no parish appointed to his care. God had set wider and higher sights for His beloved son.
He traveled barefoot as an Indian sanyasi, distinguishing himself by his austere style of life, steeped in prayer, reflection, self-denial. Little wonder, then, that he was much sought after as a priest, confessor, preacher and friend. He showed a great regard for local customs and used them to bring people nearer to God.
Filled with devotion for the Blessed Virgin Mary, on August 5, 1677 in front of her statue in the church of Sancoale, he wrote his 'Letter of Bondage' offering himself as a slave of Mary, ready to do whatever her Son Jesus wanted.
Persecution of Catholics in Sri Lanka
Joseph approached his Superiors for permission to go to Sri Lanka to the rescue of the Catholics there. His request was turned down, and, instead he was sent as Vicar Forane to Kanara. During the time there was a jurisdictional dispute between the Archbishop of Goa and the Vicar Apostolic of Bijapur in Kanara. Joseph was used as a pawn in this unholy ecclesiastical power game.
The Heart of a Missionary
During the four years of his stay in Kanara he had built new Churches, repaired others, introduced a spirit of joy, happiness and friendliness among Catholics and Hindus, especially by the oriental, Indian, manner in which he organised the celebration of religious festivities. Years after he left Kanara, the sweet odour of his cheerful sanctity pervaded the Kanara social scene.
On Fire For the Faith
Fr. Joseph Vaz could not make his intention of going to Sri Lanka public, as he would be a ready target for the Dutch bullet. He obtained his permission and the approval of the Archbishop of Goa. He then took with him the two latest members of the Community, Fr. Paul de Souza and Bro. Stephen Sequeira and also a faithful family servant, Joao (or John) Vaz from Sancoale.
The four of them set out on foot in March 1686, Joseph Vaz as usual on barefoot, on the long trek southwards through Kanara and Malabar (Kerala), onward to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) as it was then called. En route he revisited and ministered unto the Catholic he had earlier brought back to the faith. In January 1687, full nine months later, he reached Tellicherry. There for the first time he disclosed to his two companions his real intention of travelling further southwards into Dutch territory. It was not surprising that the two remained behind on some pretext, abandoning him and the young Joao (a Goan gawda boy) to go on ahead 'into the jaws of death'.
Fr. Joseph Vaz and Joao decided to disguise themselves as coolies (porters) and enter Sri Lanka, which was the stronghold of the Dutch. But in Tuticorin he was persuaded to take part in Holy Week services. His identity as a Catholic priest was disclosed. When the Dutch Officer at Tuticorin heard that a priest disguised as a coolie was probably trying to enter Sri Lanka, he put out a red alert. Joseph Vaz was in deep distress. To his relief, quite unexpectedly, only three days later, the Dutch Officer took ill and died. His successor not knowing the reason for his predecessor's order had no hesitation in granting passage to two poor labourers who had applied for permission to sail to Sri Lanka to earn an honest living there. They smuggled in sacred vessels for Mass and an altar stone.
Under the Protection of Mary
Not unexpectedly, his plan succeeded. Non-Christians ignored the rosary; non-Catholics ridiculed him or cast him out with insults; but the Catholics showed sympathy and generosity. So marvellous is the bond of faith that binds Catholics together under the banner of Mary. One Catholic household in particular seemed more fervent than the other. Could it be that the beggar that came to their door was in fact whom they suspected he was, because of his cultured talk and noble mien - a priest? A devout Catholic, a man of means and influence, highly respected even by the Dutch, was consulted. He sought out the beggar and point-blank asked him whether he was a priest. When he learnt he was, Fr. Joseph Vaz and Joao were conducted to his house. Before dawn, the first Mass was offered in Jaffna, full 29 years after the day the Fort was captured by the Dutch on June 23, 1658!
When it was realised that Fr. Joseph Vaz could not remain safely in Jaffna they moved him to Sillalai a staunch and fiercely Catholic village in the neighbourhood. Sillalai was also known as "little Rome" for its fidelity to the Faith during the long persecution. One and a half years had past since the day he left Goa.
The Price for The Faith Paid in Blood
The presence of the priest was known too far too many people to remain a secret forever. Fr. Joseph was spirited away from Sillalai before he could be arrested. But the Christians of Sillalai had to prove worthy of the Faith which Fr. Joseph Vaz had re-enkindled at such a great price. It had to be paid in blood. An archival report describes the scene. "They rushed in and seized all (the Christians) assembled for Mass without distinction, sparing neither sex nor age, but pouncing upon them all, despoiled them of what they had, and what is most shameful to say, stripped the women of their very garments, a thing which the people resented more than all other affronts. They were all taken prisoners and cudgelled and dragged to the Fort with every indignity."
On December 25, 1689, the 'Christian' High Commissioner of Jaffna, Hendrick Adriann van Rheede, had the Catholics of Jaffna and other places paraded before him. While he let off the already degraded women and their children with a warning. Eight men were kept back for "refined treatment".
One of them, Don Pedro who was a lapsed Catholic turned heretic, but who had returned to the faith of his fathers inspired by the apostolic zeal of Fr. Joseph Vaz, was singled out for exemplary treatment. He was severely scourged in the very presence of the High Commissioner. Two days later he succumbed to his wounds, the first Catholic of the new fledgling Church of Sri Lanka to lay down his life for his faith. Imprisoned for life, flogged and ill-treaded in every atrocious way four of them died before the end of the year (1689) and the rest shortly afterwards.
A Missionary in Chains
Kandy was the capital of the Sinhalese Kings since the seventeenth century. When de la Nerolle, who was violently anti-Catholic, heard that a Catholic priest was at Veuda, he went slyly to King Vimaladharma's palace and alarmed the King by telling him that a Portuguese spy had entered the kingdom in the guise of a Catholic priest. The King ordered his men to bring the priest, his host Antonio, and Joao to him bound in chains. For five days, Joseph, Joao and Antonio were subject to the harshest form of imprisonment. The King had a watch placed on the behaviour of the trio. Antonio was soon released because of his influential friends. The priest seemed a harmless enough ascetic while his companion was truly just a devoted and reverential servant of the holy man.
The King convinced that Joseph was no spy permitted him and Joao to quit their prison, but on no account to move out of the city of Kandy. He got people to build a simple Church with a thatched root which he dedicated to the Blessed Virgin. Joseph Vaz was concerned about the Catholics outside the town on the other side of the river which he was forbidden to cross. But soon he had already crossed the river eight times to assist the sick and the dying. The impious de la Nerolle could not stomach the return to the Faith of those whom he had converted to his heresy. He incited the Buddhist monks to hostility against the Catholics.
Joseph, Elijah of Old
Did this actually happen or was it a legend which grew in the telling? It doesn't matter. What did happen as a consequence of this extraordinary incident, which could have passed into folklore, was no legend. This incident proved to be the "greatest and the most striking turning point in the career of Fr. Joseph Vaz". The King Vimaladharma Surya (and later his son Narendrasinha, the last Sinhalese King of Kandy) took Joseph to his heart. He gave him the run of his entire kingdom; he gave him her personal guarantee of protection against the Dutch.
The gates of heaven had indeed opened in a flood of rain and there was also a flood of conversions of lapsed Catholics to the faith of their father, and of Kandyans into the welcoming bosom of the Church, drawn only by the cords of love and in fullest freedom.
Finally Help Arrives
The two Oratorians had brought with them a patent from the Bishop of Cochin, under whose jurisdiction Sri Lanka was officially placed, appointing Fr. Joseph Vaz his Vicar General in Sri Lanka.
In the life of Joseph Vaz, as in that of other saintly persons in our Catholic Christian centuries-old tradition, there are many stories told of remarkable healings taking place when he prayed over the sick. Fr. Joseph de Menezes records there was the case of the obstinate woman with a malignant tumor who was refusing to go back to her husband. At death's door, she was visited by Fr. Joseph Vaz, who laid his hand on her in prayer and the tumour dissolved. Wrote Fr. de Menezes: "The thing is certain, and I heard it from the woman herself."
A Fearless Missionary
Once while Joseph Vaz was administering the sacraments to the people at Gurubevila, the Dutch Governor of Sri Lanka ordered the notorious priest arrested. A detachment of soldiers surrounded the house of the family with whom Joseph was staying. They searched the house thoroughly. Joseph was standing with the rest of the household. But, the story goes, their eyes were held. They did not notice him. Sullen and discomfited the soldiers left the house.
There were baptisms reported by all the priest, not just a trickle but a flood of them. Fr. Joseph de Menezes reports that on one single day in September 1704 he himself had baptised 333, whereas those baptised in other places during that single visit was 2573 persons.
A few more Oratorians arrived in Sri Lanka and in 1708 the number of priests was ten! This was to be the average strength of the Sri Lanka mission for many years. By now Joseph Vaz was 57 years of age and beginning to slow down. His health was shattered beyond the point of reasonable recovery.
A Man Down to Earth, Literally
Joseph Vaz built a network of 15 Churches and 400 chapels with schools and dispensaries or hospitals criss-crossing the land.
The Spirit is Willing but the Flesh is Weak
If a sick call came and there was no priest in Kandy Fr. Joseph would go, cost what it may. A sick call did come. He went carried in a dooly (modified stretcher). On another sick call there was an accident. He fell off the dooly when the bearers were descending a hill. He was unconscious when they picked him up, and in that state, they brought him back to Kandy. He recovered but was never able to leave the Church premises again.
Fr. Joseph realized it was time to resign from office immediately, both as Vicar General and Superior and hand over charge to Fr. Joseph de Menezes. Fr. Joseph wrote the order on January 15, 1711 a day before he died, which Fr. Menezes received after his death.
"Live according to the inspiration of God"
The Fathers, his companions, asked him for a message which they could etch on their stricken hearts. He thought for a moment and said in Sinhalese: "Remember that one cannot easily do at the time of death what one has neglected to do all his life. Live according to the inspirations of God."
It was just before midnight Friday January 16, 1711, Fr. Joseph Vaz 'gave up his spirit'. The candle of his life had burned on for sixty years, shed its luminous glow for thirty-five priestly years, twenty-four of them in Sri Lanka. And then the light went out. The Church in Sri Lanka however was lit up by his life and labours.
A three-day mourning was declared by the King. After a solemn funeral, the body was laid to rest in the Church of Kandy.
A Church that thinks in centuries and lives in Eternity
In 1928 the Archbishop of Goa revived the Process of his beatification and in 1953 the documents of the diocesan Process was delivered to the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints, at Rome.
On 4th April 1989 the Congress of Cardinals gave its formal assent and on 13th May 1989, Pope John Paul II ordered the Promulgation of the Decree on the Heroic Virtues of Fr. Joseph Vaz.
Joseph Vaz was beatified by Pope John Paul II on January 21, 1995, who called on the nations and peoples of the vast continent of Asia to join in a chorus of praise to God for this "son of Asia who became a missionary in Asia."

Smoothest Eye Shadow I've Tried......and I'm an eye shadow freak! basically, Guerlain has mastered the single shade eye color - it goes on smooth, the pigment is amazing, and it's long lasting. Unfortunately, it does have a tendency to crease - but I think that might be because I wear moisturizer, eye cream, then tinted moisturizer, then foundation on my eyelids. Don't ask me why - I'm obsessed with moisturizing. But the first 8 hours I wear this shadow, which is a pretty good length, it's amazing. — 9 years, 7 months agobeautybooty | 3 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

Operation Gratitude is a non-profit organization that raises money to send care packages to our Armed Forces who are deployed in hostile and remote regions of the world. These care packages send much-needed items such as sunscreen, baby wipes and other essentials that are not provided for them, along with personal letters of appreciation. Alaina Snyder, sister of enlisted soldier David Snyder, has taken it upon herself to raise awareness of the need to send care packages to people like her brother, and those who fight beside him. With the assistance of her fiancé Sean McKenna, owner of X-Site Media Los Angeles (www.xm.la) and X-Site Radio (www.xsiteradio.com), Alaina Snyder is the nation's largest individual fundraiser for Operation Gratitude in the Merrell Down and Dirty National Mud Run Series, having already raised enough money to send 219 care packages to those who continue to fight for our freedom and way of life. The fundraising doesn't stop here though: with your help, Alaina's goal is to raise $50,000 for Operation Gratitude.
On Sunday, April 17, Alaina Snyder and her group "The Mud Bunnies" — sponsored by X-Site Radio and all its donors — participated in the L.A. Mud Run at Castaic Lake, California, to benefit Operation Gratitude. A statement by Alaina Snyder inspired many businesses, production companies, families and friends to donate:
"We all wake up and go about our days, owing our freedom to the men and women who protect us from afar, away from the safety and comforts of home. Any amount donated toward this wonderful cause is greatly appreciated."

As promised in my first topic, here are some pics of the nest boxes in my garden.
On the picture where you can see 2 new nest boxes: the one on the left is one I bought in Germany and the one on the right is self-made. Both have guests: bombus terrestris
The one with the test tube is the first one I made in 2012. It had a common carder bee in it in 2013. And this year, I'm trying to identify which type is in it. (see other topic in ID, variant of bombus lapidarius?)
They are all equipped with a small plastic door to prevent the bee moth (aphomia sociella) from entering into the nest. The 2 new nest boxes also have a pre-building part in which is foreseen a bee moth trap. You can't see it on these pictures here. If you want, I can post some more pics.
All of them are set with feet in the water, so ants can't find a way to the honey. They are placed in the shadow.
Kind regards,
15 May 2014 09:36 AM #1
For those interested, here are 3 more pictures:

- the "pre-building" part is open with a ramp to the opening. The right side is the bee moth trap. You can hardly see it on this pic but it has 2 openings closed with mosquito net. It allows air to flow through it so that the moth is attracted by the smell at to the rear side and not at the small plastic door side. You can't see the inside of the trap as it is closed on this pic. The sides are covered with carpet tape (double sided tape).
- the bee moth trap opening rear-side
For those who like details, on the "pre-building" open pic, you can see that there is a small piece of wood at the ceiling. It's a guide to put a sliding door along it. The sliding door has been removed on the pic. During the first weeks, it prevents light from entering into the pre-building when the queen is discovering the nest. It also prevents from cold air entering the nest in the first weeks when temperature is still low.
Kind regards,

On these 3 pics:
- you can see the lateral holes for aeration covered with mosquito net.
- the carton box which contains the nest. The carton box has also al lot of 2-3 mm small holes in the upper part to allow evaporation.
- the inside of the carton is filled with kapok. Kapok is a natural fibre which bumblebees can handle and put in small pieces. Kapok is a good insulator is very hydrofuge so it will prevent from moisture and mouldiness. Never use cosmetic cotton wool as bumblebees get knot in it.

This is the bird nest box I used to move my first bumblebee nest.
Bird nest box are not really suited for the bumblebees. They are too small and there's no correct aeration. Later on, I improve it with a pre-building part so that landing was easier. But still it lacks of aeration on hot days. The bees come out of it. However, the goal was achieved as new queens were born.
Surpringsly, several common carder queens born last year in this small box came back this year. So it seems they remember the place or smell it. A month ago I even saw two queens entering the nest at 2 minutes interval. I think once a nest box has been occupied the year before, it will be easier to attract queens the next year.

Spring is here, and boy, have we been ready for it! This week was full of gorgeous sunny skies in the mid-70s — almost SoCal weather status — and everyone was out flaunting their bright pastel colors, floral-patterned skirts, dresses and short shorts.
Name: Sarah Frost
Major: History
Year: Freshman
CollegeFashionista: I love your black skirt — midi length skirts are so chic right now — where did you get it?
Sarah Frost: This skirt is from ASOS. I love the chiffon overlay and the length; it's not as heavy as a full-length skirt while still being long. I paired it with a silver leotard from Anthropologie. There's a good contrast between the form-fitting top and loose, flowing skirt.

Every once in a while I feel as if I'm trapped. I feel as if I'm in a cave and I get ever so frustrated. I feel as if that behemothic wrinkle between my furrowed brow is about to crack (Botox would fix that! Spouse?) Today however, I woke up with the giant rain cloud and realized that I'm going to blow that giant cloud with the enthusiasm of all the choices I get to make. Are you ready?
Should I forget I have plantar fasciitis or do my stretches? Better do my stretches. It might be contagious and we don't need four of us around here with screaming heels.
It's 7:00am, the kids went to bed at 11:30, should I shower now or should I go mess with some photos and surf for lenses? Mess with some photos and surf for lenses.
Spouse came down to my make-believe photo lab and should I send him away or ask him to get his nifty tripod? Go get the tripod.
Should I forget I have plantar fasciitis or do my stretches? Better do my stretches. Not running has turned my attitude into a bathtub drain (although music and Flash Gordon and shoes and xanax are all plugs...)
Kids are awake, should I prepare breakfast now or wait until they completely melt from low blood sugar? Wait for them to melt.
Should I water the flowers first or clean the kitchen? Water the flowers and let the ADD kick in so as you forget the kitchen needs to be cleaned.
Should I forget I have plantar fasciitis or do my stretches? Better do my stretches. It'll give me the chance to philosophize the importance of rounded corners in home construction.
Should I yell at the kids to finish their jobs or should I patiently wait for them to fail and issue an appropriate consequence? Yell at the kids.
Should we go to the pool and loose child #1's goggles or should we stay home and watch the paint peel? Go to the pool and loose the goggles.
Should I forget I have plantar fasciitis or do my stretches? Better do my stretches. There's a marathon in October!
Should I go back to the photo lab/office and work or should I blog? Blog.
So many choices… let's hear about yours!

Photoshop 101
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
A colloquialism is a phrase with a meaning that makes no sense logically (hmmm, I wonder why that sounds so familiar?). Anyway, I've been thinking of a few and thought I'd discover their origin. Most of the information below was derived from my favorite web site http://www.worldwidewords.org/ (I'm not about to plagiarize, the plagiarpolice will come for me).
More Than One Way to Skin a Cat – This is a good one. The phrase was originally said "there are more ways of killing a cat than choking it with cream" or "there are more ways of killing a cat than by choking it with butter." Somehow it evolved into the skinning the cat version because skinning a cat is more fun than choking it. It's a good thing too, 'cause Spouse would not waste his precious butter choking a cat. It appears to me that Mark Twain made it famous by using it in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. This phrase means that when you go hunting, you better take two types of weapons or if you go shopping, take two credit cards (one of them might be over-extended).
Cat Scratch Fever – Ted Nugent. Created after Free For All.
Dead as a Doornail – This one has a bunch of history. Are you ready? First, the term was used somewhere around 1350 and was made famous by our little buddy William when he used it in Henry IV. They say this one has lasted so long because saying "Dead as a Doornail" has a nice poetic rhythm to it (as opposed to saying "dead as a nail" or "dead as that one lady down the street" or "dead as dead if there ever were a dead.") There are several theories about this one. My favorite theory comes from carpentry when a nail was hammered through something. The something would then be turned over and the back of the nail would be hammered down against the item so that it couldn't be pulled out easily. This is presumed to be a dead doornail. You mean carpenters you… killin' all those nails!
Hell in a Handbasket – Not a lot of history on this one. It is known to be a newer American phrase that means something will happen quickly. Using a basket to carry items will allow you to do so with efficient accuracy. Unless of course you have a red hood and you're in the forest… then the basket is a dead giveaway.
Raining Cats and Dogs – There are a few theories on this one. One of them is that people use to have thatched roofs in which dogs and cats would hide. When it rained, the water would drain through the roof and the cats and dogs would jump out. Another theory is derived from mythology whereby cats and dogs had influence over storms and so when it rained, the dogs and cats were urinating with extreme contempt (maybe Vera was a cat or dog in a previous life).
The Proof Is In the Pudding – Now this one doesn't make any sense at all. To me it sounds like they're trying to mix photography and instant desserts. Anyway, the history comes from the word Proof meaning Test. So in order to see if something is correct you need to test it or proof (prove) it. But no one really knows why pudding was chosen instead of say a side of beef (the proof is in the side of beef!) or casserole (the proof is in the casserole! – although this one cannot be used because we all know that you can hide anything in a casserole, so there's no proving anything there).
My guess for the pudding choice? Before they figured out that horse hooves made good gelatin, it was extremely difficult to get pudding to graduate from the runny stage to the more favorable gelatinous stage. So getting nice thick pudding was proof that you did something right. If my kids turn into thick chocolaty gelatinous beings, does that mean I'm a good parent? I'm sure the PS2 and Hershey can assist me with this.
If you have more suggestions for other colloquialisms, please by all means comment. I'd be happy to do the research.

Martha Meth
I have more dumb hobbies than I have time for. My latest hobby is a fascination with photoshop and this has by far proved to be the most time-consuming. I could easily burn a lifetime selecting, adding filters, adjusting, layering, dodging, patching and quick correcting. But due to that crazy little thing called "responsibility" (you thought I was going to say that crazy little thing called love, didn't you? Don't you love Queen?)... due to that crazy little thing called responsibility, I don't exactly have a lifetime to burn in photoshop.
So the other night, I had this brilliant idea. I'll get up early in the morning and burn part of my day "burning". I set the alarm for 4:30 and went to bed pumped. As usual, I became coma-toast the minute the hairs hit the pillow and the next thing I knew the alarm went off (you all know what I'm talking about, right? Sometimes I wish that I'd be blessed with insomnia). Anyway, the alarm goes off and you know what I do? I walk across the room, turn the rattling thing off and go back to bed. (See I have to place it strategically so as I have to get up and walk a bit to turn it off. If I do not, unbeknownst to me, the snooze is slapped until Spouse gets mad and threatens to slap me).
If only I didn't need 7 hours of sleep each night to make it through the day. I heard once that Martha Stewart sleeps around 3-4 hours a night. Wow! That would be beyond awesome. It occurred to me that she can't do this by herself and must be partaking some substance. It's Martha Meth (you can see it in her complexion) and I want some. Here's my first attempt at a recipe.
Martha Meth
- 1 cup crème fresh
- 14 leaves of your favorite herbs (pronounced "herbs" not "erbs")
- 3 zests of your finest lemons
- 1 brown egg retrieved from your chicken named Gladys
- 80 cloves of garlic (if this doesn't keep you awake, at least it'll keep anyone from sleeping WITH you)
- 1 whole chicken* (not Gladys, you'll need her to provide for tomorrow's breakfast)
- 2 Tbs course salt
- Caper berries
In a 14.8 quart sauce pan, whip crème fresh and add herbs. Add tres lemon zest while repeating your favorite witchy craft chant (if you need help finding your favorite, talk to Vera). Beat egg in a separate bowl until it screams and add to sauce. Pound garlic cloves into chicken with your favorite cleaver (you know the one Spouse stupidly gave you for Christmas? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the cleaver, but it can be a mighty fine weapon). Add pounded chicken and garlic to sauce pan and sprinkle with salt. Torch it all with one of those blow torch crème brulee thingees and garnish with caper berries.
*Feel free to substitue soggy grape leaves if you cannot find a kosher chicken.

Door to Door Sales Persons
I have a sign on my door that says "NO SOLICITING," but somehow the cleaning solution people, the refinance your mortgage people, the security system people and the poor newspaper boy cannot read it. Maybe they can't read it or maybe they don't quite understand that the "NO SOLICITING" sign means – Listen Sister Christian, don't ring the door bell, don't waste oxygen on your schpill because we are stingy and we won't buy your whatever.
For the benefit of the community, I've decided to come up with 10 things that you can tell unwanted (are any of them wanted?) Some have been used.
1) I've got hats in the dryer.
2) My dad sells this stuff and I'm loyal to my family (this one actually works well).
3) I do customer support and OH! can't you hear the phone ring?
4) Will it cure (insert your favorite ailment – Gout, Gone to Korea, toenail fungus)?
5) Does that come with ammunition for my 708 Wism?
6) Spouse won't let me and he controls everything he's so mean.
7) We're unemployed and we have cancer.
8) I'm cooking meth.
9) Pretend you're schizophrenic and have a conversation with your other twin about whether or not you should buy it (this one is particularly easy for me).
And Finally…
Go to Stu and Vera's house. They'll buy anything.

Lost Discussion Thursday
What a great episode. When Pickett started whaling on Sawyer I got the impression that something seriously bad was gonna happen. The little directorial flourishes, like Pickett and Tom arguing behind muted glass, the real(ist) dialogue like Benry's "God, I hate needles" aside, closure on Sawyer's previous flashbacks, I loved pretty much the whole thing. Only why exactly did they con Sawyer? Are we supposed to know? Is it just what Benry said to Sawyer...that they conned him to get his respect. Con men only really respect other con men - everyone else is a 'mark'. The real question should be : why do they want his 'respect'( and presumably thereby his cooperation )?
I actually really enjoyed this episode except for one thing, which turned out to be the con. As most of you know, I've had a pacemaker/defibrillator installed and there is NO frigging way they could possibly do a surgery like that without several things. A pacemaker is installed way up over the boobs, right under the shoulder. In order for it to work, lead wires from the pacemaker to the heart are installed, and in order to do that, you have to have an idea of what the heart looks like, IOW, an echocardiogram. Then you have to look at the syncopy of the heart to see how the pacemaker is programmed. And you have to program it a couple of times to ensure that it's working. PLUS, nobody, not even my precious Sawyer would be up and walking around like 15 minutes later after heart surgery. So I was sitting there fuming and then they tell him that it's a con. Harumph! Anyhow, enough of my rant.
The flashbacks were short anda little informative. I do have to ask, though, who the heck was theguy on the beach with the golf clubs? I do not remember ever seeing him before. Was he the new regular that appeared last week asking if they should wait for Jack to return when they brought and injured Eko back to camp?
And Sawyer has a daughter named Clementine. That he left he share of the $10 million for. I love him more than evah!
That ending confused me. When Sawyer got to the top of the hill he said "what the!" with a surprised look but when we got to see what he saw it was another island. I was sure they were going to show him their little neighborhood but nooooo....
Now I thought they were all on one island and now apparently there are 2 islands but is that really some big deal? Sawyer, Kate and Jack are being held on a smaller island. They can't get back to their friends without some means of water travel. The new island. The show is calling it Alcatraz: allusion, but I'm gonna call it Exile Island, like in Survivor. Why not be consistant with the Island shows?
Hmm did I hear the word "sub" in tonight's episode? "The sub is back." I guess that's how Colleen and her team sneaked aboard the sailboat without being seen. Must be one of those stealth subs to reach the boat and surface w/o making any noise. And wasn't the boat docked? The water would have been too shallow for a submarine. Oh, well, I'm sure the mystery will be explained just like all of the others have been
How come the previews to the next eposide aways look better than the actual episode? Though I think tonights eposide was a good one, way better than last weeks.
So now Locke has a competitor in the clairvoyance department: Desmond. And unlike Locke, Desmond didn't have to get stoned in a sweat lodge! In that sense, Desmond's powers are even stronger than Locke's. Desmond knew that lightning was going to strike Claire's shelter. He tried to get her to move, but she wouldn't, so he built the lightning rod out of a golf club to save her and the baby. And of course, Charlie was a prick about it. KILL HIM OFF! And Hurley's fruit salad was saved too, I guess. ;) Loved that he was making a fruit salad. Dude!
Speaking of precognition, I noticed Sawyer saying the exact same things to Kate in this episode as he did in Locke's dream/vision. "Watch and learn, little lady" and something about "crazy."
Locke has visions that give him clues, but he hasn't seen the future outright. Desmond is outright predicting the future -- with exact timing and everything.
The two scientists at the end of last season saw some kind of reading
(from the explosion I assume) that enabled them to pinpoint the island in some kind of vague way no? Was it not also Desmonds female companion that was on one end of the phone? Maybe he's just figuring out what they were working on at that time, now. Something to do with magnetic fields, etc... I'm not sure exactly what, I'm not a scientist, but there definitely appeared to be a connection to me.
In the first eposide this season they showed the plane crash and Ben ordering Ethan and Goodwin to the different sections of the plane and they both took off running.
Last season Ana Lucia even pointed out to Goodwin that his clothes wasn't wet after the crash right before they fought so he didn't swim there. So how did Ethan and Goodwin both get to the other island so fast? Mini subs perhaps? Maybe a giant catapult from one island to the other? Maybe those pneumatic tubes are big enough for a person?
I'm pretty certain the place where "the others" are holding Jack, Sawyer and Kate hostage (the hydra station) is *not* in the same location as the village they showed in the first episode. Could be. Or it could be that Ben is lying about which island is which...
Assuming the polar bears we've seen attack the Lostaways are the same ones (or the ancestors of the same ones) that were kept in the cages on Hydra, they'd have to get from one island to the other in some way... Of course, we know Polar Bears swim. But do they swim in tropical water from one island to the next? Can they swim that far?
So there is a second island right nearby. Yet:
- Danielle didn't know about it (it's not on her map)
- Sayid never saw it (when he went walking alone and got captured by Danielle)
- The raftees never saw it (when they sailed away in the Season 1 finale)
- The Tailees never saw it (when they hiked from their camp to the
- Lostaways' camp)
- The sailboaters (Jin/Sun/Sayid) never saw it
We've had all these explorers crossing and crisscrossing all over the
damn place yet nobody saw the second island, and nobody saw the Others' real town. So now we've got a town and a second island. What are they going to show us in season 4, DHARMA International Airport?
See the following information at
"On the "top layer map" (third map), near each angle of the triangle is
a drawing -- three drawings total. These drawings look like they could be of three dark clouds or three islands. On the "bottom layer map" (first map), written beside the three drawings are the words, "Les trois ilots" ("the three small islands/islets").
The Three Small Islands/Islets: There just so happens to be three tiny
islets located at the top-right portion of the following overview map.
Are the "three small islands/islets" ("les trois ilots") in any way
related to the three tiny islets located on the following overview map
of the island?
The word "ilots" stands for "islets" and aren't islets little tiny
islands? If "les trois ilots" turn out to be the three little islets on
this overview map, then at least we know where these little islets are! In addition, it would mean that the castaways are located on the island (the bigger land mass) and NOT on one of "les trois ilots," because they would be able to see the island (the bigger land mass) from the horizon if they were on one of the little islets.
"LES TROIS ILOTS (?)", "les trois îlots" - it's hard to make that last
word out, looks like "ilots". Picture depicts what appears to be three
small islands ("islets"), but the word "îlots" refers to groups of
houses, villages, neighborhoods, city blocks... strange."
Nothing has been said or done to indicate that 'The Village' from
episode 3.1 was on 'Alcatraz' ( where the installation with the bear
cages resides ). In fact quite the opposite...all indications are that
it IS on the big island where the plane crashed.
We're Not The Killers
- Ethan hanging Charlie.
- Ethan snaps Scott's (or was it Steve's?) neck.
- Didn't Goodwin kill that guy in the hole to throw the tailies off his trail?
- I think we can assume that Ben killed the real Henry Gale.
- And what about the kidnapped children
- Aren't they the group who shot Sawyer, then he fell off the raft, the raft
- caught fire and Jin and Michael were thrown in the water to drown?
What's this, "We don't kill people"?
Hanso's Alternative Form of Funding
Secret projects are hard to fund. Unless you can figure out people
that are connected to hidden money. Money which you can steal and use for your projects. Only this scam is more complex. To con the conmen you have to make a con much bigger than the individual players. Remote viewing spots people connected to hidden money. It spots the players that you then watch to find out what they are hiding. Then you figure out how to use their greed and secrets and weaknesses to draw them further into your scam. You take what you learned from another project involving animal tests, pavlovian conditioning, etc. to apply to the con. The con takes on a mind of its own like hoaxes are often known to do (a hoax isnt 100% lie its simply tampered evidence). Question is are all of the people connected to some secret money? I think there is more to Walt than meets the eye. He was just a little bit too worried about him. And why the question about he being Micheals biological son?
Some folks had theorized that maybe The Others stay on the island because its "magical powers" keep them healthy and alive--perhaps for a very long time. Well, that theory got scotched with tonight's episode and next week's promo: It looks like Ben is sick with a spinal tumor and without Jack's surgical help, Ben is a goner. (There's no way that could be another one of Ben's mind games because once Jack operates on Ben, he'll see whether Ben really has a tumor or not.)
So whatever "magical healing powers" exist on the island, they haven't helped Ben like they helped Locke and Rose. That's a lot of assuming. It could be that the condition is in remission (like Rose's), but Jack wouldn't KNOW that just by looking at an x-ray. He's a staunch non-believer, remember? So he'd look at the x-rays and conclude it should be fatal. Could still be that Ben can't leave the island without dying (kind of like Rose figures she can't), but if Jack operates on him and "cures" him, he WILL be able to leave.
We're still left wondering what all crazy Danielle's talk about the "Others being carriers" is all about :-)
Coming Attractions
As a wise, bald man once put it, "I'm going to need to see that again"
What the heck was that thing? I nearly orgasmed. Just kidding. A man with an eyepatch? I guess that's the guy whose glass eye was found in the Arrow station
last season?
Here is article from the newest TV Guide
Lost (11/8, 9/8c, ABC) One of the series' big mysteries---who
will Kate choose?---is finally solved when the freckled fugitive
hooks up with either the good doc or the con man. As it's also
Kate's flashback episode, we'll gain more insight into her past.
Could guest star Nathan Fillion (Firefly) be the hubby she once
mentioned? We'll see. This is Lost's last new episode until
February---the show's going on hiatus to make way for the new
Taye Diggs series Day Break---which producers are aware may
frustrate viewers. "Is there gonna be grumbling?" asks exec
producer Damon Lindelof. "We hope so. The alternative would be,
'I don't care that Lost is not on.'" We still care. Just hurry
back. ---Shawna Malcom
Discussion Items
- So what did you think about this episode and the whole two island thing?
- How about Kate saying that she loved Sawyer and then taking it back.
- What about Kate going back into the cage instead of trying to escape?
- Is Jack going to end up saving Ben from cancer or using himself as a bargaining chip to get Kate and Sawyer back to the other island?
- Where the heck are Michael and Walt? Did they really get to sail away?
- Is Locke going to save anyone, or figure out that the Others, Jack, Kate and Sawyer aren't even on the island?

By Yale Bock
NEW YORK (AdviceIQ) -- Many of the biggest-winning stock sectors of 2013 are the largest losers this year. This reversal stems from a move from last year's predominantly risk-on thinking (confident investors opted for riskier stocks) to the current, more pessimistic risk-off outlook.
Your response to this turnabout should be to ignore the temporary gyrations and analyze these stocks deeply before you buy, sell or hold them.
The retreat of the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program and turmoil in emerging markets get the blame for the 2014 stock market's rocky start.
It's stunning how the Standard & Poor's sectors that tore up the track are suffering lately. To be sure, the 2013 double-digit gains are only single-digit losses in 2014, and may well flip back again as the year goes on.
Consider consumer discretionary stocks, which are goods and services that people do not require to live, ranging from big-ticket items such as autos and refrigerators to less costly things such as clothing and services such as hotel stays. Last year, this category was No. 1, with a 41% return. This year, the sector is the worst-performing, down 8.5%.
On the other side of the spectrum, utilities, the 2013 laggard (gain: 8.8%), has done the best in 2014, up 2.2%. Utilities seldom lead the list, as they are slow-growing and heavily regulated. Their dividends are nice, a sure sign of a mature industry. Their relative safety is appealing lately, though.
The exception to this role-reversal story is health care, the No. 2 performer of 2013 (up 38.7%). Well, it still is No. 2, at minus 1.1% this year. That it has held together so well is a bit surprising, considering the messy Obamacare implementation.

This year, Putnam County has three towns that will have fireworks displays. Cold Spring, Lake Carmel, and Southeast all offer unique attributes to make their showcase special and they all promise to be a night you won't want to miss.
Lake Carmel
On July 3rd be sure to grab a blanket and find a spot around the lake to watch the fireworks or if you're one of the lucky few to own a rowboat, take it onto the lake for a VIP spot to watch the show. The fireworks will start around 8:45pm and the event will last for about an hour. No matter what area of the lake you are viewing from, every angle promises a fantastic fireworks show. Make sure to get there early to find parking, as the roads surrounding the lake will be shut down.
The Town of Southeast fireworks spectacular is the most easily accessible option for those traveling from out of town. Take Metro North to the Southeast station then let the Putnam Trolley transport you from the station to the parking lot and back. Last year, this spectacular attracted over 10,000 people and this year they are expected to thrill the crowds even more. One can enjoy a night of music, fireworks, and fun on July 3rd at Independence Way in Brewster NY, The fireworks spectacular will light up the sky at 9:30pm.
Cold Spring
The Village of Cold Spring will host its annual fireworks display on Saturday, July 4. at Dockside Park. Festivities will start with a parade at 4pm and continue with live music, a Veteran Honor Ceremony, bike decorating contest, and more, all leading up to the fireworks. The display is set to start at 9pm with the beautiful Hudson River as their background.

Questions in wake of Henderson killing
MP for Te Atatu
11 June 2014 MEDIA STATEMENT
Questions in wake of Henderson killing
Te Atatu Labour MP Phil Twyford says yesterday's killing of dairy owner Arun Kumar raises questions about whether the community has been let down by the authorities.
"The family of Arun Kumar are grieving, and the community is in shock.
"What kind of country have we become when a dairy owner is killed in his shop at 7 o'clock in the morning allegedly by a child with a knife?
"The young accused were well known to local shopkeepers in a retail centre where begging, intimidation and anti-social behaviour have unfortunately been all too common.
"The community is asking why there has not been a more visible police presence, with regular foot patrols to discourage law-breaking. There is a community constable delegated to cover Henderson but the officer is based in Massey. We'd like to see a community constable based in the town centre, with a shop front on the main street.
"Auckland Council has passed a bylaw to deal with begging and intimidation on the street but compliance is under-staffed. I am calling on Auckland Council to look at putting more resources and staff into compliance so in communities like Henderson this bylaw has teeth.
"I would also like to see Auckland Council invest in the town centre to attract more people, making it vibrant and safer.
"There are hard issues we have to face as a country about how kids can be so badly parented, and so badly off the rails, that they can cause this much grief for others at such an early age.
"We must also ask whether or not we are investing enough in protecting our citizens from risks like this.
"As local MP I will play my part in working with the Council, the Local Board, local retailers, Police, and the community to find enduring solutions.
"The good law-abiding hard-working people of Henderson deserve better support from the authorities in turning this situation around."
Phil Twyford said he had paid respects to the bereaved family today, and has been meeting with local retailers in Henderson. Labour leader David Cunliffe will be visiting the Kumar family this evening.

Do you have pet theories about the Brontë sisters?
You can check them out by visiting this year's major new exhibition at the Brontë Parsonage Museum.
The temporary exhibition focuses on animals in the Brontë family's lives, including their pet dogs.
The Brontës And Animals also explores how animals featured in Brontë novels, such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.
Collections manager, Ann Dinsdale, said: "All the Brontës loved animals and had a wide variety of pets at the Parsonage. Animals also play an important part in the stories – such as Mr Rochester's dog, Pilot, and Cathy in Wuthering Heights being bitten by a dog."
The exhibition features many of the Brontës' paintings and drawings of animals, letters referring to animals, illustrated editions of the novels and dog collars from their pets.
The Brontës And Animals is the centrepiece of the 2014 season at the museum in Haworth, which reopens today. The museum's winter closed season has lasted longer than usual this year because staff were making major alterations to the way in which they welcome visitors.
In the past, visitors entered through the Parsonage's front door, and queues regularly formed in the garden as they bought tickets in the cramped porch.
Now visitors will still enter through the front door, but only after buying tickets in the nearby museum shop, which has been refurbished.
This year's other temporary exhibition focuses on the Brontës' relationship with the railways.
The railway arrived in Keighley at the same time as the Brontës lived in Haworth, and Branwell Brontë worked as a railway clerk.
The exhibition ties in with one of the Brontë Society's newest acquisitions, which will be displayed prominently during 2014. This is a miniature portrait of Mrs Hudson by Charlotte Brontë, who travelled by train to Bridlington to stay with the woman in the mid-1800s.
Another new item on show from today will be the 'Belgian essay', an autographed manuscript by Charlotte bought by the Brontë Society for £50,000 at the end of last year.
The Brontë Parsonage Museum will be open daily from 10am to 5pm until April, when the closing time extends to 5.30pm.

After not seeing each other for several years, we finally found the time, a reason and a place to get together and chat for an hour face to face.
It's funny the impressions you form of who or what your friends are as a child.
Growing up in Clifton, if a friend of yours wasn't in your neighborhood chances are you didn't know their family or their real lives unless you were related or your parents were friends and you were always at each others houses.
This friend was from the other side of town. I didn't know her life.
As far as I was concerned - her life was AWESOME!
She always had a smile on her face. She was the quiet, pretty one who was always friendly and said hello in the hallway passing between classes. She clearly had it all together.
It wasn't until we connected again on Facebook, and she started reading my blog that we learned that we had so much more in common than we ever knew. Life in our houses growing up wasn't fun and happy and sunshine and birdies singing - it was chaos! Chaos was our normal.
Who knew we shared a similar "normal" growing up. Who knew we both struggled in our lives to find a new "normal?" An acceptable normal? A normal we didn't know growing up.
Have you ever though about your normal? Or even the normal of a child who's been abused their entire life? They grow up thinking that's just the way it is. It's how everyone's life is. Isn't it?
Everyone's got a different idea of what normal is and if your normal is chaos - how the hell do you get out of THAT? You KNOW things are different in other people's houses. Who's right? What's real?
TRUTH: I don't ever want to be what society deems "normal." Society's normal becomes a new normal every day. I have enough trouble trying to break free of my own learned "normal" - and NOT be the "normal" I grew up with.
I went to a family wedding recently and joked (on the square) that our family is a freak show. Spin the wheel of freak and you don't know where you're going to land. Round and round she goes, where she stops, no one knows....
For certain, I am a TOTAL.FREAK.SHOW.
I know this. It is who I am.
Learning to tame it is a new and different feat daily.
I am totally comfortable in my awkwardness.
Oh, so you don't think I'm a freak or awkward??
Well.... Let me tell you, if I don't know you, when we first meet you may think I'm quiet. Trust me I am not quiet. I assure you - I am clamoring for conversation. As I am clamoring I am mentally talking myself down from the ledge of idiocy.
What to say, what to say?? Remember the movie "Dirty Dancing" the line "I carried a watermelon." Yeah, that'd be me. No clue what to say, so I say the first random thing that pops into my head from the last time I saw a person. "Sooooooo... how's your storage unit?" WHAT?? Yes, that has really happened in my life. Shortly after that, I tripped up a flight of stairs.
Yes - I'm a totally social awkward, freak. I always have to think extra long and hard before speaking. Not just think...think and rethink - should I say that? Should I really? Is it bad? Is it offensive? Will it cause controversy? Will I piss someone off? Should I just shut up, smile and nod - say nothing?
It is a constant struggle to break free of the patterns of "normal"
I grew up with.
I've beaten myself up over my awkwardness for years, but it is what it is. I know where it comes from. I've seen it in action so many times. I've been embarrassed by it, I've rolled my eyes so hard I swear they would stick in the back of my head. It was a part of "normal" growing up. My brother also suffers the same effects of our "normal." The words will come out and then it's... HOLY SHIT - I REALLY just said that. Too late now...
I have grown and come farther than the learned behavior growing up, but not as far as I'd like to be. It's a daily struggle. I work hard to break the pattern. I never want to embarrass my children.
Thankfully, I am aware of the "normal."
This is just a small portion of my "normal." One of the things I can discuss publicly.
We all have a "normal" that we're either overcoming, working to overcome, or accepting as a part of who we are.
Have you thought about YOUR normal?
"Normal" IS just a setting on the dryer.
Everyone's "normal" is different.
It's all about what we're able to deal with, and if it works (or not) in your life.
For now, go out be your own "normal".
If you have a freak flag like I do - waive it high and proud!
Do no harm <3
Thank you for reading my blog!!

Three weeks after the start of school, we are finally into a groove. The kids hop out of bed as soon as their alarm goes off. Well, okay, one hops and the other has to be extricated from his covers. Get dressed, brush teeth and downstairs for breakfast. The fall mornings are crisp and cool, so we are trying to take advantage of the weather by walking to school each morning. Considering that our walk takes about 25 minutes (stops for bug inspections and hopping contests between rocks included), it is more important than ever to have some quick and healthy breakfast options lined up.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about an easy make-ahead recipe using hard-boiled eggs (Make-Ahead Egg Wrap with Ham, Avocado & Salsa). Using whole-wheat tortillas and sliced hard-boiled eggs, the wrap provides a good dose of fiber and protein to help my boys prepare for a day of learning and playing. Now it's time for another easy recipe for those busy mornings.
Typically I am very suspicious of anything made in the microwave that doesn't fall under the category of popcorn or leftovers. So, I was more than a little skeptical about trying one of the American Egg Board's microwave recipes. I diligently chopped up some ham and mushrooms, mixed them in a coffee mug with some whisked eggs and turned on the microwave. After a couple of minutes, I pulled the mugs out and topped each with cheddar cheese (the original recipe called for Swiss cheese, but my kids prefer cheddar). And guess what? It was good! If I was making a Sunday brunch for guests, I would opt for a more traditional route of cooking eggs since weekends allow for more cooking time, and the microwave recipes are much better for single servings. However, for a busy school morning, a microwaved egg cup is a really good option.
Of course, if mushrooms and ham are not your thing, then you could replace them with other vegetables, meats and cheeses. Below are a few ideas, but pick your family's favorites to insure those thumbs-ups from the kids.
Tomato, topped with thinly sliced fresh basil
Tomato, dried oregano and feta cheese
Crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese
Diced red bell pepper, mushrooms and Monterey Jack cheese
The recipe:
Spray 2 12-oz. microwave-safe coffee mugs with cooking spray.
Crack 2 eggs into each mug, add 2 tbsp water to each and whisk to combine. Stir in mushrooms, ham and pepper, dividing evenly between the 2 mugs.
Place the mugs in the microwave and cook on HIGH for 60 seconds. Stir the mixture in each mug and cook microwave until egg is almost set, about 60 to 90 seconds.
Sprinkle the cheese over top and serve.
Tomato, topped with thinly sliced fresh basil
Add tomato, dried oregano and feta cheese
Crumbled bacon, topped with Cheddar cheese
Diced red bell pepper and mushrooms, topped with Monterey Jack cheese

ST. PETERSBURG — City officials and organizers behind the city's annual St. Pete Pride festival have hammered out a potential compromise that would allow the nonprofit to temporarily fly a slightly modified rainbow flag in the city's gay-friendly business district.
City employees "aren't anti-gay and weren't doing something specifically against the community," said Jeff Klein, co-chairman of this year's St. Pete Pride celebration, after meeting with city officials Wednesday afternoon. "It was just needing to find that compromise."
The calm rhetoric was an abrupt shift from the impassioned accusations voiced Tuesday by some organizers.
The overnight standoff began when city officials shot down St. Pete Pride's request to hang rainbow flags on light posts in the Grand Central District during June.
Organizers wanted to fly the flags in recognition of Pride Month.
City officials, however, said the flags do not meet St. Petersburg policy, which states all banners must meet one of four requirements: They must identify an area or district, give a welcome message, promote a special event or publicize a cultural venue.
But after years of Mayor Rick Baker snubbing the festival (the city's largest single-day event), St. Pete Pride assumed the worst. Organizers reached out to the American Civil Liberties Union to prepare for a potential lawsuit.
After the St. Petersburg Times and tampabay.com reported on the flag flap, city officials invited organizers to discuss the issue.
In a one-hour meeting, a modified flag with the words "St. Pete Pride" professionally affixed was tentatively approved.
The meeting ended on a congenial note, said Beth Herendeen, the city's marketing director.
"We all shook hands," she said. "We are very happy that it was a positive meeting."

Fuego CityScape Replacing Aaron May's Shuttered Vitamin T
Despite chef and restaurateur Aaron May's contention that there had been a miscommunication when he was locked out of his taco shop in downtown's Cityscape at the end of April after a landlord-tenant dispute regarding back rents, his restaurant, Vitamin T, opened for nearly a year and a half, has officially shuttered.
In its place will be Fuego CityScape, from owner Jeff Ward, who also operates Fuego Bistro in north Central Phoenix, its more casual spinoff in the Camelback Esplanade, Fuego Tacos, and the newly opened Fuego Cantina in a former Chuy's in Phoenix.
Here's what Fuego CityScape has in store for downtown diners.
Set to open in the first week of June, Fuego CityScape will offer modern Mexican cuisine and cocktails such as housemade sangria and craft mojitos.
The menu, highlighting local ingredients and small plates of Mexican fare, will include dishes such as pernil tacos with mango salsa, signature empanadas, carne asada mini tostadas, sliders, and a Sangria Salad with organic greens, strawberries, apples, goat cheese, candied walnuts and a sangria vinaigrette.
Will Ward's Fuego CityScape fare better than May's Vitamin T? Given the amount of variables, time might be the best answer for that question.

Initial Review: 5,000 miles on tires
April 03, 2013
Good tires for good price. They are not performance tires, not the best in cornering. Great on snow & wet road. Most surprising is that they are quieter that all season firestones I have for summer driving. I do not want to say that they are quiet but they are not noisy either. They are very good for mountain & every day driving in light & deep snow. Very good handling & steering. Over all I give them 9 from 10.

Movement of Ocean Water
The waters of the Earth's oceans are for the most part in liquid form. What happens when you take a half full bottle of water and shake it up? Do you see the bubbles swirling rapidly around inside the water bottle? While liquid water molecules do generally attract one another forming a body of water, molecules within that body of water are free to move about, becoming thoroughly mixed up.
The waters of the Earth's oceans can be mixed up by a number of forces, including wind, splashing against a rocky shore, swimmers, boats, etc. However, the items mentioned above create only a very minimal amount of mixing. Three important forces create a much more prevalent mixing of the ocean's waters, causing the water to move about from one place to another, as though a giant were shaking them in the same manner that you shake a water bottle.
These forces are waves, currents, and ocean tides.

text: World 15 March 2012 Oh, the memories! Cameron and Obama exchange presents The President and the PM exchange gifts that commemorate... er, the last state visit. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML If you've watched the news, looked at a paper, or listened to the radio this week, you'll be well aware that David Cameron went on a state visit to America. And what are state visits about, if not presents? (And endless photo opportunities, of course). Obama presented Cameron with a customised and charcoal cooking grill, complete with bean bag chairs for the children and his and her's chef jackets. It's not a random gift either - it is a reference to Obama's visit to London in May last year, when the two cooked burgers for military servicemen. Not to be outdone, Cameron presented Obama with a table tennis table - which also commemorates the last visit, when the pair played ping-pong with students. How romantic -- the memories we've shared! Perhaps Obama has learned from his mistakes. In 2009, Gordon Brown gave him an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet. Its sister ship was carved to make the desk in the Oval Office. In return, Obama gave Brown a set of 25 American DVDs, which, in a tragic twist, weren't even compatible with UK DVD players. Nothing very memorable about that. › Laurie Penny on human wifi: not just part of the furniture Samira Shackle is a freelance journalist, who tweets @samirashackle.
