Lund, Sweden, 2014/12/04 - AXIS F Series presents a unique, high-performance main unit that connects to four miniature sensor units simultaneously, enabling cost-effective and highly discreet video surveillance of up to four closely situated areas - Axis.com. NASDAQ OMX: AXIS
With its rugged design, AXIS F44 Main Unit is ideal for retail and banking applications, as well as transportation installations such as in emergency vehicles, buses and trucks. In the autumn, AXIS F44 was launched into the stratosphere, providing videos of the ascent and descent.
AXIS F44 Main Unit with two sensor units on board a stratospheric balloon provided videos of the trip in a popular science project called Stratocaching. AXIS F44 connects up to four miniature sensor units, enabling cost-effective and highly discreet video surveillance of multiple areas.
Axis Communications, the world leader in network video, today adds AXIS F44 Main Unit to its flexible and modular AXIS F Series. The series is based on a divided network camera concept where the camera is split into a sensor unit, made up of a lens and image sensor with a pre-mounted cable up to 12 m (39 ft.) long, and a main unit, which is the body of the camera. Since the main units and sensor units with different lens types are sold separately, customers can choose the components as required and can easily change them to fit the surveillance need. The products allow for a highly discreet installation since the small sensor units can be installed virtually out of view in tight places and the main unit can be placed up to 12 m away where there is space for it.
"AXIS F44 is another innovative product from Axis, says Erik Frännlid, Axis Director of Product Management. AXIS F44 provides a simple and cost-effective solution for monitoring up to four different areas within a site using just one main unit. The small modular sensor units can also be easily relocated or changed after the initial installation, giving users additional flexibility. It is an ideal solution for small video surveillance areas such as in stores, in and around ATMs and in buses.
In the autumn, as part of a game called Stratocaching (which combines high-altitude balloons with geocaching) in the Czech Republic, an AXIS F44 Main Unit and two connected AXIS F1005-E Sensor Units were sent up in a stratospheric balloon. Recording views of the journey from the two sensor units simultaneously, AXIS F44 provided HDTV videos that included the balloons ascent to an altitude of 29.3 km (18 miles) above ground, the subsequent balloon burst, the distribution of the stratocaches with GPS transmitters and the dramatic fall with a parachute. (See video).
The Stratocaching event clearly demonstrated the ruggedness and exceptional video performance of the AXIS F products, says Frännlid. AXIS F44 and AXIS F1005-E Sensor Units performed in turbulent conditions and extremely low temperatures. They are a testament to the high quality of Axis products.
AXIS F44 is a high-performance unit that supports:
Simultaneous streaming of four separate high-resolution 1080p videos at 12.5/15 frames per second (50/60 Hz) or four HDTV 720p videos at full frame rate;
Quad view, a stream made up of four separate views from the connected sensor units;
Two-way audio;
Input/output ports for external devices to enhance alarm management;
RS232 port for integration of external data to the video;
Local storage of recordings using its two built-in full-sized SD card slots;
Power over Ethernet, as well as the option of connecting to an 8-28 V DC power supply;
Intelligent video capabilities such as video motion detection, active tampering alarm and downloadable applications through the AXIS Camera Application Platform.
The four compatible AXIS F Sensor Units (with two different cable lengths to choose from either 3 m/10 ft. or 12 m/39 ft.) are:
IP66-rated AXIS F1005-E Sensor Unit with a standard lens and a 113° horizontal field of view for indoor, outdoor and mobile use
AXIS F1015 Sensor Unit with a varifocal lens for a 53° to 108° horizontal field of view for indoor use
AXIS F1025 Sensor Unit with a pinhole lens and a 92° horizontal field of view for indoor use
IP66-rated AXIS F1035-E Sensor Unit with a fisheye lens for a 194° horizontal field of view for indoor, outdoor and mobile use.
AXIS F44 offers AXIS Camera Companion video management software and is supported by AXIS Camera Station and the industrys largest base of video management software through the Axis Application Development Partner Program. AXIS F44 also includes support for AXIS Video Hosting System and ONVIF for easy camera system integration.
AXIS F44 is now available for sale.

Jewish Military Chaplains Wanted
Who will bring God to the troops and the troops to God? That is the role of a military chaplain, especially during wartime.
The military Jewish chaplaincy offers a unique challenge to the rabbi who aspires to serve "K'lal Yisrael" in a special environment: the Armed Forces of the United States. Jews who volunteer for the military represent the entire spectrum of Jewish identity, from the most assimilated to the most traditionally observant. Since they often find themselves isolated from contact with Jewish communities because of the global mission of the service of which they are a part, the presence of a rabbi in uniform can make all the difference between their developing patterns of personal Jewish commitment or the abandonment of their heritage.
Military chaplaincy provides the opportunity to meet Jewish spiritual needs in an exciting and demanding environment, while representing Judaism and the Jewish community to the military.
Noncombatants, chaplains enter the service as officers, usually first lieutenants. They are trained to respond to a variety of situations and serve all over the world, ministering to a diverse group of people. Being a rabbi in the U.S. Armed Forces is one of the most interesting and stimulating ministries imaginable. "My years as a chaplain in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps at the start of the Vietnam War were foundational to the fulfillment I derived throughout my rabbinate," said Rabbi William Lebeau of the Jewish Theological Seminary.
The JWB Jewish Chaplains Council energetically recruits rabbis through visits to various seminaries, attendance at rabbinical conferences, and notices in professional newsletters. Follow-up support is provided through a continuing pastoral relationship with rabbis in the field.
The overall record of co-operation between all Jewish Chaplains in strengthening the identity of all Jews they serve, regardless of orientation, is one of the Council's proudest achievements.
Full-time opportunities for service in the Army, Navy, and Air Force chaplaincies are available, as are part-time positions in the Army, Navy, and Air Force Reserve and the Army and Air National Guard. Rabbinical students are eligible to serve as Chaplain Candidates, receiving an introduction to military chaplaincy while still in school, along with competitive summer and/or part-time earnings.
The basic requirements to become a chaplain are established by the Department of Defense. These include:
- Ecclesiastical endorsement (certifies experience and degree requirements meet the standards of the respective ecclesiastical group)
- Two years religious leadership consistent with clergy in applicant's tradition (strongly recommended)
- United States citizenship (No dual citizenship)
- Bachelor's degree (120 semester hours or 180 quarter hours)
- A graduate degree to include a minimum of 72 semester hours (or equivalent) from a qualifying (accredited) institution. Not less than 36 hours must be in theological/ministry and related studies, consistent with the respective religious tradition of the applicant. Endorsers are free to exceed the DoD standard per ecclesiastical requirements, but cannot go below the minimal DoD requirements.
- Active Duty Chaplains:
- Army: Commissioned prior to age 40 (Age waiver availability may vary from year to year)
- Air Force and Navy: Commissioned and on active duty by age 42 (Some consideration may be made for prior service)
- Pass a military commissioning physical
- Pass a security background investigation
- Ability to work in the DoD directed religious accommodation environment.
For more information, contact Rabbi Irving Elson, director, JWB Jewish Chaplains Council, 212-786-5138 or send an e-mail. You may also consult these websites for specific information on each service's chaplaincy program:

Ticketmaster Launches New, Innovative CAPTCHA Solutions, Making The Fan Experience Better
Ticketmaster, a Live Nation Entertainment company, isbeginning the process of upgrading the hard to read squiggly lineswith new, friendlier, easier to use solutions provided on their mobile Ticketmaster Apps and online. These solutions will improve the fan experience and are designed to be more effective in blocking BOTS, automated computer programs that some scalpers use to grab tickets before real fans have an opportunity.
"Ticketmaster is passionate about the fan experience and we relentlessly pursue ways to make ticket buying more fan-friendly," said Nathan Hubbard, CEO of Ticketmaster. "While an important step in blocking BOTS, we know the current CAPTCHA solution has been a frustrating part of buying tickets for fans. By working with Solve Media and deploying our own innovative mobile solution, we're leading the industry forward through our buying experience and the aggressive fight against BOTS."
On Ticketmaster.com,Ticketmaster partnered with Solve Media. During the purchase process, fans will be presented with phrases, questions or ads from Solve Media instead of the normal, hard to read mix of characters that needed to be deciphered before proceeding with the transaction. This new solution is proven to be a much better user experience and effective at keeping BOTS out of the buying process.
"We are excited to work with Ticketmaster to make the purchase process as painless and efficient for fans as possible," says Ari Jacoby, CEO of Solve Media. "At Solve Media, we take complex problems and create simple solutions. With our proprietary TYPE-IN technology, consumers can solve CAPTCHAs in half the time it takes to decipher the outmoded squiggly number and letter CAPTCHAs. Our security platform makes it difficult for BOTS to affect the system, allowing for better user experience and premium branding opportunities."
Ticketmaster has also developed an innovative mobile solution that leverages the 'push' notification feature on mobile phone applications. Fans using the Ticketmaster Apps will be authorized by a 'push' notification in the background during the purchase process that will allow them to bypass the existing type-in CAPTCHA security.
"Our goal is to improve the fan experience while providing security from BOTS and in the case of our mobile apps, we found a way to remove the type-in step completely," said Hubbard.

Those of you in the US are 'lucky' enough to now be able to trot down to your nearest GameStop, EB or whatever and pick up a copy of the latest Sims expansion pack. However, us Europeans aren't much worse off.. we've only got around nine more days to wait! The Sims: Unleashed is currently scheduled to be coming out on Friday 4th October, so it won't be long before you can play with your pets. Incidentally, for our UK readers, I'd recommend you take a look at Play.com where it's available for just 14.99.
As you'd expect, as it's out in the US, reviews have started appearing. One of the first of these is over at IGN.com, where it earns a fairly repectable score of seven out of ten. Only fairly respectable, though. The review doesn't paint that good a picture of the pack, really.. here's a quote:
'..by now, the only people still playing The Sims (besides those people who just bought a computer and with it their first game) are serious, hardcore Sims players who are going to buy every expansion pack regardless. And we've already downloaded hundreds if not thousands of new skins and objects, so that part of the expansion isn't very impressive. So once the novelty of cleaning up after cats and dogs wears off, we're left with a $30 utility that adds twenty new lots to each neighborhood.'The full review is well worth a read, and can be found here.

A battered bald eagle found in a St. Petersburg back yard last month took flight from Ahhochee Hill on Saturday morning. The adult male eagle was launched from the arm of Dave Moore, executive director of the Southwest Florida Water Management District, after spending three weeks at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitland.
Charles Lee, advocacy director for Audubon, said the organization offered the honors to Moore because Swiftmud has been an important partner in conservation efforts.
The eagle's injuries could have been the result of a car's bumper or talon-to-talon combat, said Lynda White, coordinator for Audubon's Eagle Watch program. Either way, the bird was in rough shape when it was recovered a few days before Thanksgiving by the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary behind a home on 62nd Avenue S.
It didn't take long, though, for the eagle to bounce back from a fractured shoulder and beak, White said. Shoulder injuries often require surgery and a long recuperation period, White said. Not this time.
"This guy, he just amazed us all," White said. "It's been less than a month, and he's flying like a champ."
While rehabilitation experts like to release birds in the same place they were found, that wouldn't have been a good idea in this case, White said. It's the middle of nesting season, when eagles are at their most territorial, and this adult male is not part of a breeding pair.
"So if we release him back there, he's going to get himself beat up," White said.
So they decided Ahhochee Hill, a 270-acre expanse of Audubon-owned pasture and forest land north of Brooksville that has served as the launching site for other rehabilitated eagles, would be a better option. Fewer eagle nests in Hernando County make for a smaller chance of an ugly run-in, White said.
Like cats, eagles have a way of finding their way home again, so the bird might have made it back to St. Petersburg by Saturday afternoon, she said.
"But maybe he'll decide Hernando County's a pretty nice place to hang out."

Been thinking of getting my chin done for a while now is it a good choice will i get a good facial balance?
Im 19 Years Old and Im Wondering if I Would Be a Candidate for a Chin Implant?
Doctor Answers 6
Chin implant candidates...
Cosmetic chin surgery is an excellent option for anyone who feels that their chin is not shaped correctly in relation to the rest of their face. Chin augmentation adds proportion to the chin and provides balance to other facial features. Good candidates for this procedure may include those who have a recessed chin along with a prominent nose, although you can simply have a small chin and be a good candidate for the procedure. Ideally you need a consultation with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon for a full facial evaluation to see how a chin implant might best balance your facial features.

Benefit of Chin Implant
A chin implant will increase chin projection and improve facial balance in some patients. There are other techniques such as a sliding genioplasty which are better in some patients. Without pictures it is impossible to make recommendations for you.
Computer Imaging Would Help Decide If a Chin Implant is The Right Procedure For You
The chin, along with the nose (and to a certain extent, the cheeks) all combine to give the face a balanced appearance. Sometimes, a small change in the chin can make a very big difference to the overall appearance of the face. At 19, you are certainly old enough for a chin implant. The real question is whether or not a chin implant will improve your facial appearance. A consult with a board certified surgeon along with computer imaging would let you know if a chin implant is right for you. A chin implant is one of the easiest and most reliable procedures for computer imaging, and imaging would go a long way towards helping you decide if this is the right procedure for you. Good luck.

A chin implant works well to correct a receding chin. It is reversible if you donot like it. . Whether it is for you should be determined by a consultation.
Im 19 Years Old and Im Wondering if I Would Be a Candidate for a Chin Implant?
Please post photos for a more specific answer. Chin implants, in general, are used to augment, reshape the chin or both. Most patients with a small chin are good candidates for chin augmentation. What type of implant could be used and the result that might provide you would require photos or a consultation.

Chin Implant
Without seeing photos, I cannot determine if you have a need for a chin implants. Chin Implant surgery is a great surgery for those who need it. I would recommend you schedule a consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) to determine if chin implant surgery is right for you.

i have "coreldraw grafics suite 12" and im very new for this software. I just want to erase some part of a circle.
i know its a basic thing but im unable to do this :(
Any Help or Clue would be appriciated
Thanks in advance
Hi mush!
If your talking about CorelDraw 12 (not PhotoPaint) the "Simplify" tool works well for this. Draw another object over your circle that defines the area you want to erase. Select both that object and your circle withe the "Pick" tool and then select the "Simplify" tool that will appear on the top of your page. Then select the new object your created and move it out of the way. You'll see that it leaves an "erased" area in your original circle. Play with it a little to make it exactly the way you would like.
In reply to willstu:
thanks for your reply and im using CorelDraw 12 (not PhotoPaint) . still i have a problem.
whenever i select both objects(square and circle) and click (shaping->simplify) the option, then i select and move out the square. now i can see the erased area but still there is a line across the circle :( .
what should i do know ? i want to erase some portion of a circle and thats it and i dont need anything else in circle .
In reply to mush:
Do you want to erase part of a circle so that it then becomes an arc? You want to be left with a path that is not closed? - Scotty
In reply to scottyjr:
Change to the "node edit" or "shape" tool once you've drawn your circle and simply move the two ends to leave a gap. Once you've done that, Willstu's idea about simplifying works (although I would use "Trim")
In reply to Gadget:
I find it hard to understand why Corel do not like an Eraser tool.
In reply to Anonymous:
They do: it's under the fly-out for shaping or hit [X]. But for the question asked, it's probably not the best tool to use-
If you draw a circle, it's an enclosed shape, not an arced line. So the eraser will eat chunks out of the circle and leave "tooth marks" in it. If you want to use it to get only an arc of the circle, then it has to be an arc first, then it will work.
{PS it only works on one (selected) object at a time - grouping won't work, although you can combine to create one object and use the eraser on it}
It's under the Crop flyout actually...
I try to draw a circle, then I drag the node side way to make it an arc. But if I undo it, I find something interesting - the little square node becomes a flat line (like a minus sign), and when I drag it, the circle becomes a sector (like a pacman).
Also, using this way to "erase" part of a circle, you always start at the top (I guess).
Also, when I use the eraser tool, it doesn't really "erase" the part but deform it - the circle remains a completed path and not an incomplete arc.
Drag inside - Pac-man.
Drag outside - C.
You have to start at the top if you drag a circle from top to bottom, but you can start at the bottom if you drag from bottom to top. Or just type in the anges on the interactive toolbar.
If you can fill the shape, it's a closed shape. If you can't it's a line/curve/arc. A closed shape will always be "deformed" by the eraser (it is erasing the area you rub over)
When using the shape tool on a circle, there is only one node at the top. In the other word, you cannot clear any part of the circle as you like without rotating it precisely to the orientation you want.
As for the eraser tool, couldn't it be just as simple as its name would suggest like in the Photoshop? Just erase, nothing else.
MichaelTadashiWhen using the shape tool on a circle, there is only one node at the top. In the other word, you cannot clear any part of the circle as you like without rotating it precisely to the orientation you want.
Step 1: Draw a circle - Select the 'circle' tool. Click on a start point. Drag to an end point. Holding <ctrl> will ensure that it's a circle rather than oval. Holding <shift> will make the start point the centre of the circle.
Step 2: Shape the circle - Select the 'shape' tool. Select the node at the top and drag the mouse - the nodes are constrained to the circumference of the circle; place it at the start or the end of the "cut-out" section. Select the node remaining at the top of the circle and drag it to the other end of the "cut-out". If the mouse is inside the circle, it will form a pie. If it's on the outside, it will form an arc. (If you get the 'start' and 'end' mixed up - which I always do - there is a handy button to invert the arc on the interactive toolbar; clockwise <-> anti-clockwise)
Step 1.5a: While still in the 'circle mode' click on the central X and the handles change to rotational handles - drag a corner to make the 'top' somewhere else, then you only need to shape the circle once. Step 1.5b: From the interactive toolbar, click on the rotational angle field and type in an angle to move the "top" somewhere else, then you only need to shape the circle once.Step 1.5c: From the interactive toolbar, click on the "arc mode" button and it automatically eats a 90º chunk from the circle to leave you with an arc. Step 1.5d: From the interactive toolbar, input a start and end angle for the arc (or just one and shape the other one) (This could be step 1: set the start and end angles before you touch mouse to paper space)
You don't even need to be precise with the cut-out section of the arc: just use the trim tool to tidy the edges. (But with the 'Dynamic Guidelines' on, being precise is a snap )
It does exactly what you would expect: erases the part of the object under the eraser. Please refer to this post to get a better idea on how a vector image works and in turn how the eraser works.

Real Food: Where I Am Now
I've had a lot of requests for more information on food, but I realize a lot of newer readers may not even know my story at all.
My Story
For a little recap, I used to eat like crap. I'm talking, 3 or 4 Cokes a day, lots of pizza, chips, sweets, and I had a bit of a love affair with Mickey D's quarter pounders with cheese.
It wasn't because of my upbringing. My mom raised me right. In fact, she was "granola crunchy" before it was cool. When we were in middle school and high school, she relaxed a bit. There was some junk food in the house, but not a ton and she still cooked most of our meals from scratch.
It was when I went to college that my diet went to pot and I started living on pizza and drinking Coke like it was water. I gained 20 pounds, and my IBS, which I'd always struggled with, went a little bit crazy. But I was a stupid kid and thought that is just the way I was made and I had to live with it.
I got my weight under control my senior year when I joined Jenny Craig, and I managed it for years with what I not-so-fondly call my "binge-and-starve" approach to dieting. I was thin, but not healthy.
After my third child, my health fell apart.
After my third child, my health fell apart. I had some really weird episodes that landed me in the ER. I would feel hot and dizzy and then get extremely sick to my stomach with terrible IBS-like cramping. Then I'd get cold and eventually pass out. It would end with the chills and a nasty outbreak of hives. It was so strange. I made the rounds to all the specialists and no one could ever tell me what caused it. I was, however, diagnosed with hypothyroidism, gastritis, GERD and IBS (officially; I had always just assumed that's what I had.)
I ended up on Nexium for gastritis, synthroid for my thyroid, and Ativan for anxiety attacks that were rare but crippling at times. Once I had to get off a plane just before takeoff because I didn't have my Ativan with me and I was having a minor freak-out episode. I was all-around one pretty messed up lady.
Of course I knew my diet was crappy, and we all hear studies about organic foods being healthier and all sorts of information on food, but it always seemed too complex and overwhelming so I would just shove it all to the back of my mind and drink another Coke.
My Real Food Conversion
Then I happened to pick up a copy of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food. Suddenly everything made sense and seemed so simple.
Eat real food. The end.
Of course it is much, much more complicated than that, but that is the gist. Factory created food is not really food, and it's not nourishing the way real food is that comes from nature and hasn't been altered.
You can read what I like to call My Whole Foods Conversion Story if you want the down and dirty. (I borrowed that phrase from my friend and mentor, Kelly the Kitchen Kop. She was and still is an invaluable resource for those just delving into the world of real food.)
Suffice it to say, this opened up a whole new world for me. I immediately started cleaning out my kitchen and replacing the boxes and bags with real foods, making snacks and bread from scratch, and cooking better meals for my family.
I eventually got myself off Nexium and Ativan, started exercising, went gluten-free, and now my gastritis and IBS are pretty much GONE. It was such a slow improvement that sometimes I forget how sick I was and how debilitating those stomach aches were. There were days that I'd have to lay down and spend a few hours on the couch waiting for it to pass. I lost so much time from work and my kids. They were used to it and knew not to bother mommy while I was having one of my stomach aches. Since I didn't know exactly what was causing them, I couldn't avoid them.
Of course, I didn't know I was sick. I just thought that's the way it was.
It is crazy to me how sick I was for much of my life, and now, for the most part, I'm healthy and medicine-free.
Of course, I didn't know I was sick. I just thought that's the way it was. That, to me, is what is so upsetting about the modern industrial food system we have created — everyone thinks we're just fine; meanwhile we're on all sorts of meds for all sorts of problems. That is not the way it's supposed to be!!!
I've also learned to maintain my weight without binging and starving. Again, it's been such a gradual process that I almost forget how obsessed with food and dieting I used to be.
My "whole foods conversion" spawned a flurry of blog posts as I learned all about eating real food the best way possible. Some people thought I went off the deep end and told me so, but many appreciated those posts and keep asking for more.
Like me, a lot of you are probably too overwhelmed to delve into the research yourself, but when someone else does it for you and breaks it down in manageable chunks and basically tells you how to eat well in the real world, you're likely to give it a shot. That is my hope, anyway.
Here's the sad thing about the whole real food/whole foods/organic movement. It has sort of become the next chapter in the Mommy Wars. When my kids were little, there was tension between working moms and stay-at-home moms. And the breast feeding vs. bottle feeding crowds. And co-sleeping vs scheduling. And on and on. There's always something, right?
Today it's food.
Let's not let food choices divide us, okay?? No one wants to be told they are feeding their kids crap. Of course that puts people on the defensive. I don't believe the mom next door loves her kids less because she keeps pop tarts in the pantry. I really don't.
I share the information I've learned for those who, like me, WANT to know more, and want to make some changes, but might not have the time or inclination to do the research themselves. I don't think I'm doing everything right. We all make choices and do what we can and then we have to let go of the rest. Very few people go whole-hog and ditch all industrial foods to grow and make their own. Most of us have to pick and choose what we feel we can do while maintaining the lifestyle we've created for ourselves in this modern society. And sometimes those choices ebb and flow, based on the season of life we're in.
So with that, here's where I am right now.
Where I Am Now
I never set out to become a homesteader. I envy those who can because I think that they're probably healthier than I am, but it's not in the cards for me. I'm planning to stay right here in my cookie-cutter suburban neighborhood with my kids in public school and my little internet writing jobs keeping me busy, so I do what I can to feed my family as much real food as possible without completely changing our way of life.
I do what I can to feed my family as much real food as possible without completely changing our way of life.
At first, I went gung-ho, making granola bars and homemade bread and big breakfasts every day. Predictably, that eventually got old.
Now I buy organic granola bars and organic bread and organic cereal (oh, yes, how the mighty have fallen . . . I once wrote a post on why I don't buy breakfast cereal and how they are devoid of any nourishment — and I still think that is true, but I'm too tired to fight it right now. Maybe next year…)
I still make homemade dinners the majority of the time, but we definitely do more Chinese and pizza takeout than we did there for a while.
I used to make my rounds to all the local farms for home grown meats and dairy products, but now I buy most of that at the grocery store. I am fortunate we do have a nice whole foods market that sells a lot of local products, but it is a lot more $$$$ to buy it that way. We did the CSA for the 2nd year in a row, but I miss that in the winter months.
My goal for 2014 is to get back on track, closer to where I was when I started out. If I could do it then, I can do it now, right??
But I'm also giving myself a break if I just can't seem to be that committed to the homemade everything at this stage in my life with the kids' busy schedules and my own writing career growing.
I think good health is important, for sure. But it's not the ONLY thing, ya know? We do what we can.
For those who are new to all this, or maybe you want a refresher, here is a list of some of my favorite posts that I wrote when I was doing so much reading and research about real food.
More About Real Food
Start here, because this is the overview, and this post has a lot of helpful links in it too: My Whole Foods Conversion Story.
Then this is a list, in chronological order, of some of the best posts I wrote on this topic.
- The Low-Fat Fad is Killing Us
- Eating Well Can Taste Good Too — Funny how this was a revelation. Now I much prefer real foods to processed ones!!
- It's So Much More Than Eating Organic
- On Milk
- The Incredible, Edible Egg!
- Chicken: What To Buy
- The Cost of Eating Well
- Sugar: Public Enemy #1 (the more I learn, the more I'm convinced that sugar is evil… although I still eat plenty of it!!)
- Embrace the Fat
- Real Food On A Budget (it doesn't have to break the bank)
- Whole Foods From The Conventional Grocery Store
- Pasteurized vs. Ultra-Pasteurized (to this day I still try not to buy ultra-pasteurized anything!!)
- Real Food For Beginners (a great place to start)
- When You Can't Do It All (this is helpful in trying to prioritize the most important aspects of this lifestyle)
- The Real Food I Buy and Where I Buy It
- Food Safety vs. Nourishment
- A Real Food Update (where I was last year about this time)
I will be writing some updates over the next few months with specifics about what we're doing now, but I still stand by everything I wrote in these posts even if I'm not doing it perfectly.
So What??
What I really want people to come away with is this. What we eat matters. We aren't all going to do it the same way, but if you are not healthy, on unnecessary medications, and have debilitating health problems, I encourage you to take some time to consider your diet. Don't assume that's just the way it has to be.
Not that diet is the end all, be all. There is certainly a place for medications, but they don't have to be our first line of defense.
What we eat matters.
And I believe in doing what we can to teach our children good eating habits. Again, I realize this will look different to different people. We all have to start where are and do the best we can with what we've been given. But don't we owe it to them to at least try to be better?? To give them a chance at a healthy life? I think so.
So I will keep writing about the topic, maybe not as consistently as I once did, but I don't want to let all those posts get buried and forgotten because there is a lot of helpful information in there. I hope it inspires some of you to make some changes today. Even small changes are better than no changes at all.

ABOVE: On April 16, Sean O'Boyle's Art of Film Music class Skyped with Tim Davies, lead orchestrator and conductor of Frozen.
How did Tim Davies, lead orchestrator and conductor of Frozen, the highest-grossing animated film of all time, end up Skyping with Moravian College students April 16? It started with a simple request. A week earlier, student Meghan E. Mawhinney '16 asked Sean O'Boyle, Moravian's artist-lecturer in composition, if they could watch the movie in his class.
O'Boyle, who teaches Mawhinney's MUS 193 Art of Film Music course, was only too happy to oblige, with a bonus. "Well, I figured if we were going to watch the movie, we should talk with someone who worked on the film," O'Boyle explained.
As it turned out, Davies, one of the most sought after orchestrators in Hollywood, is good acquaintances with O'Boyle. In addition to their shared loved of music, the duo both halt from Australia. "You are close friends with him?" a student asked O'Boyle before their interview with Davies. "We're friends. All Australians are close friends – because there are only like 400 of us. We all know each other," O'Boyle cracked.
In all seriousness, O'Boyle pointed out the music composition industry is a familial place. "Because of the field we are in, we work with fantastic people and that leads you to work with other fantastic people," he said. "All of sudden, you know a lot of good people willing to help one another."
Inside room 207 of the Brethren House, the Art of Film Music students peppered Davies – via the internet video chat – with inquiries about his background, as well as his successes. The questions were as varied as the majors in the classroom, which included nursing, music and computer science students, to name a few. The questions included, "How long did it take you to orchestrate the film?" to "Did you write Olaf's song?" (Olaf, of course, being everyone's favorite talkative snowman in Frozen.)
ABOVE: After a student requested that his class should watch Frozen, O'Boyle reached out to Davies, a fellow Australian, about talking with Moravian students.
ABOVE: The class' students, which hail from several different majors, asked Davies questions about his job responsibilities, as well as which Frozen character was his favorite.
The Grammy Award-nominated composer, who has worked with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Cee Lo Green, Nas, and many ensembles, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Metropol Orkest, couldn't have been more forthright with the students.
When asked about working on Frozen, Davies explained he didn't conduct the film's biggest song, "Let It Go," and admitted he knew very little about the movie during production. "In fact, when I was conducting the songs, I had no idea what the movie was, what it was about, and I had no idea who (the characters) were," he laughed. "We had no idea when we were working on (the movie) that it would be that big a deal."
However, Davies did watch the movie, which is a rarity for him. While he creates music for films, he's not a huge film fan. "I don't watch movies," he said. "I don't even like film music, that's the funny part." This is especially ironic since he has orchestrated and conducted recent feature films such as Endless Love, Muppets Most Wanted and Edge of Tomorrow. Additionally, he is currently working on arranging the score for Fox's animated film Book of Life for two-time Oscar winner Gustavo Santaolalla.
As an orchestrator, Davies described his responsibilities as providing "the nuts and bolts of the score." His main goal is to recreate the composer's vision and put that product in front of the orchestra.
Despite all of his professional achievements during his 15-year career, Davies noted that before Frozen took off, he was still considered a somewhat unseasoned orchestrator in animated films.
"A year ago, I was up to replace someone to orchestrate on a big animated movie, and the studio was worried because I hadn't done a proper big animation before," Davies recalled. "And now, a year later, I have conducted and orchestrated one of the biggest ones of all time."
While he's not a "film score geek or nerd," Davies has a passion for arraigning and working with orchestras. During his hour-long conversation with students, he detailed his career path to becoming one of Hollywood's busiest orchestrator, working his way from disheartened University of Southern California student to his Frozen success.
While he didn't enjoy studying film score at USC, and subsequently dropped out, Davies ended up getting work, writing orchestrations for friends and small projects, and later serving as a copyist. One of his biggest breaks came through a USC contact, which helped him land a job as an orchestrator on a video game for Sony Gaming. When the project's conductor got sick, Davies filled in and continued to receive work from Sony. Eventually one project let into another and his calendar filled up. Today, Davies said he's "maxed out" right now on work, which O'Boyle pointed out was a great problem to have.
Despite his film success, Davies' first love remains being a Big Band composer, and he oversees two bands, one in Los Angeles and other in Australia. "When I die, that's what I want to be remembered for," Davies explained.
When asked for an inside scoop about a possible Frozen sequel, Davies admitted he didn't know anything for sure, but given the first one's success, he'd expect another. However, he did acknowledge he'd soon begin work on a Peanuts movie, as well as the surely anticipated sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine.

Intestinal parasites...or hemaroids. (spelling?)
Itching and pain be gone! I found a solution to Anal Itch in the Bathroom Bidet Sprayers they use in Thailand. Every doctor will tell you that you need to clean but the key is you need to do it without irritating the skin. Difficult to accomplish when you have an itch that is just begging to be scratched. But cleaning with a water spray does just that and it is easy, convenient and no one need know what you are using it for. Toilet paper irritates the skin and the more you rub, the more you itch. I bought mine at http://www.bathroomsprayers.com and installed it myself. Check out; http://www.bathroomsprayers.com/info/mypage.php?page=20
Check your diet. Too much spicey food can cause it.
Forgot to wipe again, did you???
We told you not to wipe with that leaf but no you just wouldn't listen...lol
Could be allergy.. Other causes are fungal or bacterial infection. Try anti-inch cream there.. If doesnt work, try the mixture of antibiotic cream and athlete's foot cream. All ointments are available over the counter and are cheap.
Do you have a spinal condition? You may need an alignment.
Do not reach for the tube of Preperation H before checking because it might be Ben-Gay.

(LOS ANGELES) — Kobe Bryant stood in front of a sold-out crowd at the Staples Center and delivered a heart warming speech about the late Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Then Bryant and his teammates followed that up by beating their arch rival the Boston Celtics 113-99 Wednesday night.
The Lakers (26-29) have struggled all season to play as a team, but that wasn't the case in this game. Seven Lakers scored in double figures with Dwight Howard leading the way with 24 points.
"We executed extremely well," Bryant said of his team. "Are big fellow (Howard) came with a lot of energy and really altered the game for us."
Buss died Monday at the age of 80. This was the first game the Lakers played since his passing. What made the game more special is the fact it was against the Boston Celtics, a team the Lakers have met in the NBA Finals a record 12 times.
"It's personally very important," Kobe said of beating the Celtics, "I know how much it meant to him everytime we played the Celtics…you know the history and tradition of both ball clubs, so this was an important game."
Lakers guard Steve Nash had seven assists in the game passing former Laker Magic Johnson for fourth on the all-time assists list.
The Celtics (28-26) received 26 points from Paul Pierce in the loss.

Well, I finally got my arm out of a sling for a while and decided I better write a column before my boss decides to replace me.
As many of you know, I underwent rotator cuff surgery, and I have to say nothing I ever experienced hurt me as much. I had open-heart surgery and wasn't in the pain I had for a shoulder injury. I have a fairly good tolerance for pain, but it took some powerful drugs to keep me from crying.
I spent a week with my daughter and family with two grown grandsons sleeping beside me to make sure I didn't do something stupid while under the influence.
For the past five weeks I have been sleeping in a recliner and still can't lie in bed. I watch the Herald newspaper being delivered daily, and early.
As a person who is right-handed, learning to use my left was a bit of a challenge. Where was my buddy Larry O'Keeffe providing lessons on how to put on socks, tie shoes, and a few other things?
My only disappointment is not being able to bowl. Several friends of mine suggested bowling lefty. I can't scratch my head with my left hand, as I learned during this stint. However I am scheduled to bowl Nationals in June and may not be able to make it due to physical therapy.
Not being able to drive the past month has put a damper on most things, but I am free to drive now and I plan to make my rounds to all the centers right after New Year's.

She has helped guide Wendy and other Special Olympians into improving her skills and not to get upset when missing the pins. She is always there for the Special Olympians. She reminds them that it is not all about winning but to have good sportsmanship and, most of all, FUN.
COACH OF THE YEAR, Bernie Gill: Bernie gives his time freely, coaching youth bowlers both at Phantom Warrior Lanes and the Copperas Cove High School bowling team. He is a Bronze Level Coach and has used all level of skills to help with the youngest to the oldest youth bowlers. He has used his knowledge to assist other coaches, providing advice to them to assist a bowler. He arrives early and stays late, assisting youth with the basic knowledge of bowling skills. Youth bowlers look for Gill on aweekly basis to continue to improve their skills.
BOWLER OF THE YEAR, Karin Ciesiolka: Ciesiolka's performance speaks for itself. This season she has rolled three 800 series, three 300 games, one 299 game, 12 700 series, 14 650 series, and three 11-in-a-rows. Her sportsmanship is outstanding. Watching her in action she is one tough competitor. She is definitely a team player. She would be a role model for anyone to follow. She coaches at Hallmark Lanes and is the Ellison High School bowling coach.
SENIOR BOWLER OF THE YEAR, John Haynes: Haynes has regularly brought two to four bowlers to league play that do not have other forms of transportation. Without transportation these bowlers would not be able to participate. When he is not available to bring the bowlers, he ensures that each bowler has transportation. Haynes currently bowls in three leagues — one at each of the local bowling centers. He sets a wonderful example for others to follow. His sportsmanship is above reproach. He is constantly striving for the ultimate 300 game but regardless of the score he does his best each week and is constantly encouraging the other senior bowlers.
MERIT AWARD, Charles McIntosh: McIntosh served as tournament director and worked closely with the board, the bowlers, and the local proprietors. He ensured the best interest of the bowlers was addressed by the board. He worked each tournament as well as participating in the tournaments. He donated items to raise money for the BVL Fund. He is currently working with the Temple VA Hospital to organize a wheelchair bowling league in the area with hopes of having this league in the next few years.
Unfortunately, our association lost many close friends during the year. Those folks are Marty Wolfe (January), Cherry McIntosh (February), Freddie Dewald and Glenn Bock (March), Jim Hopper (June), Edna Dawson, Hall of Famer Chuck Davis and Marty Thornberry (July), Stacy Cannon (September), Millie Brown and Joe Boehm (October) and John Bunch and Michelle Orr (November).
From the Wright House to yours: May you have a happy and healthy New Year and I'll see you on the lanes.

The 22 year old earned the right to play the Web.Com Tour by finishing 15th at the Tour School last year and already this season had finished 3rd in Colombia so he is clearly an immense talent and appears destined for much higher honours.
Ortiz came from one behind the overnight leader, Australian Aron Price, his final round of 66 earning him a four shot victory over former PGA Tour winner, Jason Gore, with Price and Americans Daniel Berger and Derek Fathauer tied for 3rd.
Oritz will move 400 places from his current 710th on the world ranking to just outside the top 300 and move into second position on the Web.Com Tour money list behind Alex Cejka.
Amongst the other Australasians Steve Allan was tied for 8th, James Nitties 15th and Steve Alker 20th.
The Web.Com Tour now heads to the USA for the first time in 2014 when it plays this coming week's Chitimacha Louisiana Open.

As a narrative goes, lyricist Chris Mosdell's story is anything but a straightforward one.
"There was an article that said I was the Lafcadio Hearn of lyrics, which I kind of liked," says the British wordsmith, explaining, "Lafcadio Hearn was the first foreigner here who wrote all about Japan. I've worked with so many eclectic people — calligraphy artists, poets, all sorts of people — that I couldn't have done anywhere else, I don't think."
Though born in Gainsborough, England, Mosdell grew up in North Wales and is now based for half the year in Tokyo and half in Boulder, Colo., in the United States. He has become woven into the fabric of Japanese society, not only working with huge domestic bands but also anime companies, respected poets and more.
In 1990, he wrote the election theme song for the Social Democratic Party of Japan; a decade later, a selection of Mosdell's notebooks and pens were included in the Millennium Time Capsule gallery event at Laforet Museum in Harajuku, an artistic snapshot of Tokyo at the turn of the 20th century; and this year, he is the subject of a feature-length documentary about his work.
Mosdell first came to Japan in 1976. A graduate of the University of Nottingham with a degree in microbiology, he quit his pathology masters to follow a more creative path as a poet in a foreign land. And when a year later Yukihiro Takahashi of Sadistic Mika Band saw some poems by Mosdell that were published in The Japan Times, the gamble paid off: Takahashi called Mosdell and asked to use the poems as lyrics for Rajie, a singer he was producing.
"I said, 'They're poems, not lyrics, but OK,' " says Mosdell.
This led to further collaboration, with Mosdell writing lyrics for Sadistics, a group made up of members of Sadistic Mika Band, and then for Yellow Magic Orchestra, the pioneering technopop band formed by Takahashi, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Haruomi Hosono in 1978.
"I was writing for everybody after that," he recalls. "And then I thought, 'Oh, I'm a lyricist!' The music business is very small, so when you work with somebody, they either recommend you, or someone sees you, or a group splits up and they make other groups."
YMO went on to become one of the most influential and successful electronic Japanese bands of all time, and their Mosdell-penned song "Behind the Mask" was rewritten in collaboration with Michael Jackson for his "Thriller" album. Although Jackson's version was never released ("It's in the vaults," teases Mosdell. "I'm waiting till Michael gets really bankrupt!"), it was later covered by Eric Clapton.
When asked whether he had to change his writing style to suit Japanese singers, Mosdell jokes, "I usually put one word into the lyrics that is completely unpronounceable; things with an 'l,' an 'r,' a 'th,' a 'v' and a 'b,' just to be a nuisance. There's always one word that gets them. But yes, I was always very conscious that I was writing for someone whose English wasn't native."
Mosdell explains that when the lyrics are written before the music, "you have to think of the composer, and so you have to write in a very clear, metered structure. But if you do it the other way around, English is this very malleable language that you can stretch and pull, and you can fit words into a musical piece that you didn't think could be there. Even the back of a Cornflakes packet will sing well if you get a really good melody."
Mosdell himself has had his turn behind the microphone, releasing the solo album "Equasian" in 1982. In order to give his English words more impact in Japan, he introduced the concept of "visic," or visual music. The album's 10 songs were each accompanied by a large artwork made by Mosdell and architect Koji Suzuki, made up of the song lyrics written on a multiplane and multimedia canvas. "Equasian" was displayed at Gallery Harajuku in Tokyo and released by Alfa as an LP with extensive artwork, then reissued on CD in 2003 by Sony.
"Most people say that I don't write a story line; I write a conceptual kind of picture," he says of his writing style. "I'm not really a storyteller. I'm much more of a visual lyricist. So I'm painting some sort of picture."
Another key collaborator has been legendary poet Shuntaro Tanikawa. The pair worked together in 1988 to create "The Oracles of Distraction," a deck of cards created in the omikuji (sacred lottery) fortune-telling tradition of Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each card bore a poem in English by Mosdell and another in Japanese by Tanikawa, and these were presented along with 77 pieces of music to read them to and 77 large batik artworks on washi paper representing the poems conceptually.
The whole set was shown as an exhibition at Laforet Museum and later released on CD with a full set of cards with surreal poems designed to confuse and distract the reader.
Tanikawa and Mosdell reconvened to write "The Erotic Odes: A Pillow Book," a collection of short erotic poems, which was published in 1997 and reprinted last year.
Perhaps the most universally appreciated aspect of modern Japanese culture is anime, and here too Mosdell has played his part, working with renowned composer Yoko Kanno on the soundtracks to such major releases as "Ghost in the Shell," "Gundam" and "Cowboy Bebop." His latest theme-tune contribution was to the anime "Okami to Koshinryo" ("Spice and Wolf"), which aired in Japan last year and was released on Blu-ray last month.
"To me, Tokyo has always been this strange, immortal city," says Mosdell. "There's a frenetic energy that no other city has, so for me it's a great medium. It's like a scene that I can sit in. I always feel that I'm being irradiated by some energy, and this helps me to compose.
"I've always been very irreverent, and I've never worked for a company," he continues. "Luckily, I found this niche where I can survive. I'm a very, very disciplined person. Every day, literally, I write for two hours. If you want to be a lyricist, you have to do this. Language is changing every day, and when you write, your language evolves."
While all of this is impressive, it is only a sliver of Mosdell's varied body of work — a career that has made him a renowned figure in this bustling Asian hub. To give an exhaustive rundown would take several pages; and anyway, someone else has already undertaken that task in the form of the documentary movie "Ink Music: In the Land of the Hundred-Tongued Lyricist."
The full-length film features interviews with Mosdell, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tanikawa, Takahashi, Kanno, anime singer Maya Sakamoto, calligraphy artist Junichi Yoshikawa and others, and is set to debut at the South by Southwest movie festival in Austin, Texas, in March.
Mosdell will be working this year with Uwe Schmidt, better known as German electronica artist Senor Coconut, who in 2006 released a cover album of YMO songs that included lyrics by Mosdell. He is also working on his own version of "Hyakunin Isshu" ("100 People, One Poem Each"), a Heian Period (794-1185) anthology of 100 poems that are cut in half and matched up as part of a traditional game called karuta.
"I have written a Shibuya version," he explains. "I chose 100 real people in Shibuya, 50 female and 50 male, and I wrote a very small poem as if they are writing them. So now I have 100 poems and they're starting to be translated.
"And I'm working with Yuriko Takagi, this famous photographer — she used to work a lot with Issey Miyake — and she's going to go and take 100 photographs of people in Shibuya. We're going to make a box set, and in 1,000 years time people are going to be playing this game rather than the old one."
And that's not all. Last year he released a book of Spike Milligan-esque children's poems, "In Search of the Holey Whale," which he also illustrated; the book was written under the pen-name Mozz to keep it from getting confused with his grownup work.
"It's kind of a relief from my serious endeavors, and it's fun," he says. "So I'm doing another one, and I've just about finished it. It's called 'Fork in the Road', which is actually a real, huge fork.
"I'm also doing something called 'The Radicals,' " he continues. "In kanji, there are 92 basic radicals, like moon, sun and water. So this is my life project. I'm choosing a radical, like woman or moon, and then I'm writing a big, long poem about it but I'm taking it all from history.
"I'm taking descriptions of women in Heian times, and somebody in Shibuya, and I'm mixing it all together. I've written about 20 or 30 of them now. The idea is that I'm going to do all 92, which will take me 10 years or more, and then it's the history of Japan in a poetic, abstract form."
Wild creativity in linear form: It's an approach that enables Mosdell's work to endure great scrutiny . . . which, no doubt, it will receive for many years to come.

Donna Marie – Young student strikes chord with 54-year-old MILF/GILF
Donna Marie, a 54-year-old MAMA from Prague, Czechia, is giving 27-year-old Dennis a guitar. Not indeed successfully, by the way. He sucks at playing the guitar. Or maybe he's distracted by Donna Marie's D-cup jugs, that are pouring out of her corset.
"Can I touch?" that fellow asks.
"Sure," that babe says. Hey, if that babe cannot teach this stud how to play the guitar, she could in addition receive something without the afternoon. What Donna Marie acquires is a mouthful of fuckstick, a screwed vagina and semen everywhere her face.
Born on November 4, 1959, Donna is a divorcee with children and grandchildren. She says the folks who know her would be "very surprised" to watch her fucking and sucking on-camera, although maybe not all the people who apprehend her since she's a swinger and a nudist.
"I when had sex in an elevator of an workplace building in Prague," Donna told. "We did not acquire caught, but maybe that was as a result of we went actually fast. This man put his strapon in me doggystyle."
Which lad would probably not be shocked to see her here.
There is lots of of Donna Marie to come, including her Initial XXX episode at 50PlusMILFs.com. But one time that, no greater quantity guitar lessons. Promise.

Reputations are a hard thing to shake. For instance, take the reputation of London's fashion week. It's "creative," "bursting with energy," "has a great buzz." What they don't have, according to popular theory, is sellable products. Of course, this is a simplified take on things. There's always been British brands capable of making interesting products as well as selling. It's just that this isn't necessarily seen as newsworthy (understandable; "clothing brand sells clothing" isn't exactly Man Bites Dog).
But this reputation led to several brands who missed the LC:M boat to either disappear, downscale or have their designer leave to work for a stable high street company. Before LC:M, London lacked a sufficient showcase of the sheer breadth of menswear available. While people like to separate tailoring and sportswear, new guard and old guard, there's usually less space between these categories than people obsessed with binary ways of taking in information care to admit. After all, there's no one way of dress that'll get us through everything we do in our lives.
Often you'd see a brand who make wearable items ramp up the showpieces and alienate people, with one crowd thinking they'd gone too far and another thinking it didn't go far enough. And when stockists don't come knocking on their door, they're left with a stockist they may have turned down if they weren't desperate. This has a knock-on effect, with the desired retailers saying, "You're stocked where? No thanks." And while the British Fashion Council is great at supporting young brands, there comes a point where the labels have to actually make some money. Add all this up, along with a place at the end of the calendar, and you've got issues.
At one point, the menswear day was essentially a showcase instead of a trade event. The move to the start means buyers haven't run down their budget and are actually willing to consider a couple of new additions to their store roster. People who do the full fashion month are well-known for skipping menswear day so they could get to Milan, leading to a semi-ghost town. But, while LC:M has been impressive, the main factor in British menswear's growth has been the designers themselves. They've learnt from the mistakes of others, working on becoming functioning businesses as opposed to creative types stitching pieces of fabric together in their bedroom.
J.W. Anderson has gained a reputation as a provocateur, but, like another provocateur, Thom Browne, his shows are essentially a theatrical way of pushing out new ideas. The main backbone of his menswear business that actually sells in stores are his sweatshirts, biker jackets and other items that you'd call staples. The likes of Matthew Miller, Sibling, Christopher Raeburn, Lou Dalton, Christopher Shannon (and many, many, many more) have maintained a healthy stockist list, which leads to people being able to see their items on a regular basis instead of catwalk images -0 which still alienates people who aren't sure how to digest clothing shown in a catwalk format. There's also the issue about how a lot of people who write about menswear tend to confuse styling with the products themselves. But that's a topic for another day.
Despite all this, there's still plenty of issues. Although there are currently three days in LC:M, you could easily argue for four. This is important because, when the schedule's squeezed, people tend to choose what they already know. This means the potential for the press or buyers to be surprised by something they didn't know they'd like is diminished, simply because the person didn't have the time to view the show. There's also the question of whether certain established brands should be showing at all. When you've already got a healthy list of wholesale accounts and everyone who should know about your brand already knows, there's little point of a catwalk show. There's also an issue with the current ambassadors, a ragtag bunch of celebrities who generally don't have that much knowledge of fashion, let alone how to distill it to the general public. Then there's the double edged sword of being primarily seen as a breeding ground for creativity — London designers are especially prone to being copied.
Being copied is crippling. When you're a young brand with no recourse to usually extremely expensive legal counsel, it's even worse. Those at the lower end of the fashion scale are typically the worst culprits of copying. For one, they usually have entire teams dedicated to the task, masking what they do by calling them "buying trips." These are when they go to shops, buy product they like, take it back to the office and decide whether to copy it or not. But they're not the only ones doing it. To pull a a couple of random examples out of an imaginary hat, Marc by Marc Jacobs's range of trainers have looked remarkably similar to Common Projects, even down to the gold print. Gucci produced a coat that was incredibly similar to an Acronym coat. And to bring a British example into the mix, Alan Taylor pointed out similarities between his Fall/Winter 2014 collection and Sarah Burton's Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2015 collection on Twitter. But, the never-ending carousel of "homage" and inspiration aside, where does London fit into the big four in terms of fashion weeks?
The cold commerciality of Milan is never something to inspire, what with the rows and rows of identical brands selling clothes to men who think slicking back their greying hair is the height of fashion. New York Fashion Week could take some tips from how LC:M is being run. Another issue in the US is the added factor of US attitudes to clothing being a little more, shall we say, retrograde than others. After all, the main undertone of that long heritage stretch in the US was "Yes I like clothes, but please don't say I'm gay!" While London has plenty of crazy shows ripe for a slideshow click bait parody article, the average man here (in London at least) will be seen wearing something that'd be challenged as daring across the pond. Heck, even the goons here wear teeny tiny purses and call them flight bags.
So that leaves Paris as the main competitor. Paris has the likes of Raf Simons and Dries Van Noten showing, who are the epitome of a designer's designer. If London Collections: Men can mix the myriad influences of tailoring, shoe heritage, trainer factories like Flimby, forward-thinking designers, the solid established brands and the big labels? They'll be competing with Paris before you know it.

Categories:Baking Baking Hints & Tips
How Baking Powder Works – Types of Baking Powder – How To Test Baking Powder
Baking Powder is a leavening agent that contains a combination of baking soda, cream of tartar, and a moisture absorber (like cornstarch). It is used like yeast, but it acts much more quickly.
Baking Powder is used in batters where there is no acid present, such as in: cookies, cakes, pastries, pies, quick bread, etc. It makes the baked goods voluminous by allowing gas formation when an acid comes into contact with it and/or when it is heated.
Because it acts immediately upon the addition of water, a filler (usually cornstarch) is added to absorb the moisture and prevent premature activity.
Learn about the interesting History of Baking Powder.
Types of Baking Powder:
Double-acting: Most baking powders are double-acting, which means it reacts twice; one acid that dissolves when it comes in contact with water and a second acid that does not dissolve until it reaches a higher temperature. This type of double action ensures that the finished product is light and fluffy.
Single-acting: Mainly used by manufacturers and are usually not available for retail sale.
Food Chemistry Rule in Using Baking Powder:
When creating a recipes, the food chemistry rule is 1 to 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder per 1 cup flour.
If too much is used in your recipe, this produces big bubbles that will run into each other and then rise to the surface and pop. The result is that the muffins, cakes or quick breads become heavy or sunken.
Following are the most common brands found in your local grocery stores:
Calumet Baking Powder is sodium aluminum sulfate – a phosphate powder in which the acid ingredients are sodium aluminum sulfate and calcium phosphate.
Available in the United States. Owned by Kraft Foods.
It is gluten-free and certified Kosher by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.
Clabber Girl is gluten-free and certified Kosher by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.
Ingredients: Corn Starch, Bicarbonate of Soda, Sodium Aluminum Sulfate, Acid Phosphate of Calcium.
Available in the United States. Owned by Clabber Girl Corporation.
Rumford is an all-phosphate baking powder (containing calcium acid phosphate – no aluminum). It is gluten-free and certified Kosher by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.
Ingredients: Monocalcium Phosphate, Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda), Food-Grade Cornstarch.
Available in New England and the northeastern United States. Owned by Clabber Girl Corporation.
Davis is gluten-free and certified Kosher by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America.
Available in New England and the northeastern United States. Owned by Clabber Girl Corporation.
How To Purchase Baking Powder:
When buying and stocking up, try to find the most current date available by looking for a manufacturing or expiration date on the product. Keep in mind when it was manufactured and how long it has been sitting on the store's shelf, because time weakens its potency.
Just because you bought it last week, it does not mean it was made last week and is as fresh as possible.
Once a can is opened, it should be good for 3 to 6 months.
How To Store Baking Powder:
Store at room temperature in a dry place.
A cabinet or pantry away from the sink or heat source (such as the stove, direct sunlight), is a perfect place.
Do not store in the refrigerator as it may shorten the shelf life due to condensation that occurs on the can.
How To Test Baking Powder:
Baking powder does lose it's potency over time, about 6 months. If you are unsure of its freshness, you should test it before using.
First stir the contents of the can to see if there are any lumps. Lumps are an indication that it has picked up moisture, and has started a reaction in the can.
Check the code dates on the bottom of the can to make sure it is still in code. Baking powder has a usual useful life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Stir 1 teaspoon baking powder into 1/3 cup of hot water. If it bubbles gently, it is fine to use.
If you have a can that has been sitting in your cupboard for a year or more – toss it out!
How To Make Baking Powder:
If you have run out you may be able to make a substitution by using the following:
For one teaspoon baking powder = mix 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
If you are not using immediately, add 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch to absorb any moisture in the air and to prevent a premature chemical reaction between the acid and alkali.
Remember that a recipe for baked goods is like a formula. The ingredients work together to create an acceptable finished product. Substitutions don't always work as well as the original ingredients called for in the recipe. Any substitutions that you make come with the risk that the recipe will not turn out as intended.


text: OK. Last year after walking out of Reliant in week 1 I had this thought in the back of my mind. I was concerned about the yards that PM put up. Today, from the comfort of my couch, I wonder if we have another nemesis. I'm not concerned that we didn't score in the second half, I'm concerned that we didn't execute well at all. I understand you run the ball but the two turnovers were just plain unacceptable. If it happens against a team not missing its best player that is a serious problem. Two years ago we started strong and finished slow. Last year we started slow and finished strong and we can't do that again. This team needs to show it can play 4 quarters of football. Execute for a full game or we're in some serious trouble over the course of a season. Mike
