Since the day he broke into wrestling, Michael Elgin has been driven to succeed. Logging thousands of miles on his car crossing international borders, competing everwhere he could, Elgin had one primary goal: to compete for Ring of Honor. First accomplishing that goal in 2007, it wasn't until 2010 when Elgin was introduced as the newest member of The House of Truth that his dreams finally began to come true. This is the story of how it became a reality…
On the day of Final Battle 2012, Elgin sat down with our cameras to look back on his journey. From travels around the US & Canada to his first taste of ROH competition, Elgin discusses the highs & lows of his wrestling career including how a serious knee injury affected him, the wrestlers that shaped him as an athlete, and that defining bout against Davey Richards that was voted 2012 ROH Match of the Year.
In addition to the 60-minute interview, this 2-disc DVD set also features Elgin take on the cream of the crop in men like Christopher Daniels, Eddie Edwards, Chris Hero, & Kevin Steen. Between the wars he fought in the ring, and the passion with which he talks about his wrestling career, it is easy to see why there is no more appropriate moniker for Michael Elgin than UNBREAKABLE!

Clocking in at 17.1 inches, a feline in Corona, Calif., is officially the world's tallest pet cat.
Scarlett's Magic isn't an ordinary housecat.
She's an F1 Savannah Cat, a cross between an African Serval and a domesticated breed. It's the closest thing to a wild cat you can own without breaking any California laws.
U.S. & World
Anytime breeders start mixing in wild animal genes, there can be a bit of skepticism about temperament -- but her owners, Kim and Lee Draper, say their breed has all the charm of a domesticated cat with the look of a wild plains hunter.
Earlier this month, the Drapers opened the Savannah Cat Shoppe in Corona to show off the new breed.
The Savannah Cats are not caged. Instead they roam freely and play in a glass-enclosed room.
Scarlett's Magic and her Guinness World Record title are not for sale. But that doesn't mean you can't have a Savannah Cat of your own, according to the store's website:
The Savannah Cat Shoppe is the very first of its kind that offers the public the unprecedented ability to interact with these amazing cats and, when available, purchase a cub directly from our store.
The cubs range from $5,000 to $50,000, according to bellagattini.com.
The Savannah Cat Shoppe is located at 2795 Cabot Drive, Suite 180, at Dos Lagos in Corona.

I just so happened to glance up from my computer and caught a glimpse of what Paula Deen and her son was making. I just had to make these today. But I wasn't that motivated to get off the couch. You see, I declared today a lazy day when I got off of work last night. It was one of those days in the emergency department where I left work feeling a little demolished. So all I wanted to do today was to cuddle with my two little boys, catch up on recorded DVR shows, and rest. And of course, it was just my lucky day because I had all the ingredients the recipe called for, so my lazy behind didn't need to get off the couch to make a special trip to the grocery store. Although I had all the ingredients for the recipe, I wanted to do more to it. Give it a little more pizazz. Make it a little bit more healthy. And it just clicked… vegan strawberry cheesecake with graham crackers.
These are amazing and delicious little morsels of yumminess. Wow. These would be EVEN better with real cream cheese. I think these might make the perfect dish to bring to a potluck or dinner party. In fact, these are what we will be bringing to the next potluck we are invited to. They were really simple to make. It probably took us less than 15 minutes to put together.
You'll love these.
Trust me.
Reconstructed Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake (adapted from The Deen Brothers)
20 whole large strawberries, hulled
8 ounces Tofutti cream cheese, softened
1/4 plus 2 tablespoons cup confectioners' powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2/3 cup graham crackers, roughly chopped
Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each strawberry so the berries stand upright. Place berries, cut side down, on a serving platter. Carefully cut the berries into 4 wedges, cutting almost to, but not through, the bottoms with a criss-cross cut. Fan wedges just slightly, taking care not to break them. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the Tofutti cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla until combined but still stiff. Using a teaspoon or pastry bag with decorative tip, fill the strawberries with the cream cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready to serve, place chopped graham crackers on top of the stuffed strawberries.
Makes 20 stuffed berries.

techBASIC 2.0 Now Available
Dr. Dobb's readers may recall my initial review of techBASIC 1.0 for the iOS platform. techBASIC Developer Mike Westerfield took my earlier criticisms seriously and addressed a majority of them in this new release. techBASIC 2.0 now supports the camera on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, as well as the rudimentary UI widgets such as buttons, list views, sliders, spinners, and pickers. These additions make techBASIC a really powerful platform for students and individuals interested in learning how to program using Post PC hardware.

White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>
WebcastsMore >>
The addition of user interface controls adds a whole new dimension to techBASIC interpreted code. Applications can now be easily outfitted with a UI that can rival relatively simple, native iPhone and iPad applications. Byteworks, the company responsible for techBASIC, even posted adetailed and very helpful description of these new UI elements along with code examples that show how easy it is to incorporate them into techBASIC programs. There is also an accompanying YouTube video showing these controls in action.
Unfortunately, the app cannot compile code to a native iPhone app and, as such, is hindered by performance issues for anything requiring heavy computation or intense graphic manipulation. Of course, these limitations are imposed by iOS, not by the potential of techBASIC. But given that techBASIC is educationally-oriented and not currently commercial application development-focused, these iOS-imposed restrictions are not that much of a hindrance when coding and running apps with photographic, sensor-capable, and network-enabled interactivity.
Now that techBASIC has made its mark on the iOS platform, I'd like to see Mike take this extraordinary interpretive application and port it to the Android platform where access to the file system, the creation of background services, and (as we've seen with the Android Java IDE) the compilation to native application code might be possible. But for now, any educator or BASIC language enthusiast with an iPad should check out techBASIC 2.0. It could be the tool that launches the careers of a future programmer who might one day sell a camera app to a social media company for a billion dollars.

Pro-Education Candidates Sweep Connecticut's Midterms
November 7, 2018
Thanks in large part to teachers who were determined to make their voices heard and their votes matter, pro-education candidates chalked up significant victories in yesterday's midterm elections.
Major wins were scored in the state senate and house as well as in a close gubernatorial race, where education advocate Ned Lamont defeated a challenger whose agenda favored privatization of schools, caps on teacher salaries, anti-union initiatives, and an unrealistic economic plan that threatened to decimate school budgets.
"Teachers made a decisive contribution to these positive outcomes—because they were engaged and informed," said CEA President Jeff Leake.
In the run-up to the elections, CEA developed its first-ever legislative report card—a comprehensive system of evaluating candidates based on their voting records, interviews, willingness to engage with CEA members, responses to questionnaires on education issues, and recommendations by teachers in their districts. Top pro-education candidates were named to CEA's honor roll, which was published in the CEA Advisor Special Election Issue and online.
Information is power
"From the time it was launched in September, CEA's report card was viewed nearly 75,000 times, in wave after wave—a testament to how engaged our members are and how deeply this election mattered to them," said CEA Executive Director Donald Williams. "Indeed, CEA members went to the polls in unprecedented numbers, knowing which candidates pledged to protect public education, the teaching profession, and educators' ability to retire with dignity—and whose plans would unravel teachers' and students' rights."
Every CEA honor roll candidate for a top state officer position prevailed in the midterm elections, as did all honor roll candidates running for Congress. In some races where candidates won by a very narrow margin, teacher turnout was a key factor in putting pro-education candidates over the finish line.
"Key races where a victory was decided by the narrowest of margins also turned out to be races where teachers were most engaged in talking to their colleagues about the issues at stake—from teacher pensions to school funding," said Leake.
"Even with these key victories, we will still have legislative challenges in the future." Williams noted, "Now, however, we have more allies working for us, and legislators understand that teachers will continue to hold them accountable on issues that are critical to the teaching profession."

LITTLE ROCK � The chairman of the House Revenue and Taxation Committee sees the state's proposed $4.9 billion budget and all of its moving parts as a six-sided Rubik's Cube.
LITTLE ROCK � The chairman of the House Revenue and Taxation Committee sees the state�s proposed $4.9 billion budget and all of its moving parts as a six-sided Rubik�s Cube.
�When you�re watching a youngster sitting in the corner working on the Rubik�s Cube, you keep looking, and it looks like the same mess over and over,� said Rep. Charlie Collins, R-Fayetteville. �But in reality, that youngster is moving things around, and you can�t see it until all of a sudden, pop, two turns and the whole thing comes out fitting together.�
Collins said lawmakers are addressing the 2013-14 fiscal budget in a similar fashion, trying to match up a balanced budget at current funding levels, while mixing in an anticipated $300 million surplus and a sizable amount of tax cuts, along with expanding health care coverage and finalizing the state�s obligations for a proposed $1.1 billion steel mill project in Mississippi County.
�All of these need to fit together in such a way where at the end of the day we have the right policy for Arkansas, a balanced budget, the right health program moving forward.�
Collins and other legislative leaders said last week they are still turning the Rubik�s Cube and that they are close to solving the complicated puzzle.
Gov. Mike Beebe has proposed reducing the state grocery tax within his proposal balanced budget, which also calls for tapping the surplus to help cover a shortfall in the state Medicaid program. The governor is working with legislative leaders to fashion a program to provide health insurance for up to 250,000 low-income Arkansans.
Closing the steel mill deal would require legislative approval for a $125 million bond issue under Amendment 82, the so-called superproject amendment.
House Speaker Davy Carter, R-Cabot, has suggested parameters on tax cut proposals and asked lawmakers to limit the total amount of tax cuts to $150 million.
Senate President Pro Tem Michael Lamoureux, R-Russellville, says Senate leaders are reviewing tax cut proposals and will come up with their own estimates on how much taxes can be cut, possibly this week.
The goal, the legislative leaders said, is for the House and Senate to come to an agreement on an amount of tax cuts and then move forward to accomplish that goal.
Last week, the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee endorsed and the Senate passed 34-0 Senate Bill 463 by Sen. Jim Hendren, R-Gravette, which would exempt the service pay of about 6,300 active duty military personnel from the state income tax.
The tax cut would cost the state about $7 million annually, a reduction the state fiscal office says the state cannot afford within Beebe�s balanced budget proposal.
Lamoureux asked that the measure be held in the Senate rather than be transferred to the House for consideration.
�I have all the confidence the bill will eventually become law,� Lamoureaux said, but he said it cleared the Senate before the leadership could confer with House leaders on an overall tax reduction goal.
�It kind of came out of here a little faster than the other ones. I wanted to slow up and let the negotiations move forward before we sent that to them,� Lamoureux said, adding that all tax-cut measures will be considered.
�I think we need to do a fair valuation of the true cost of the tax cuts � we�re relooking at the bills and making sure that the long-term amount of the cuts � in years three, four, five and out, doesn�t grossly exceed the amount in the first two years, so that whatever agreement we reach, the bills reflect that agreement,� he said.
Carter also said the House is �trying to evaluate all these proposals collectively.�
�We�re still revising the impact numbers and looking at what�s on the table,� he said. �We�re still looking at the aggregate impacts of all of the tax bills that have been presented.�
With $2 billion in tax reductions proposed, �we�re going to make sure we�re responsible in what we send out and how we analyze the pros and cons of all the bills,� the House speaker said.
Sen. Jake Files, R-Fort Smith, chairman of the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee, said he anticipates the Legislature will support a reduction in the sales tax manufacturers pay for electricity and natural gas.
Rep. Lane Jean, R-Magnolia, has filed House Bill 1218, which would reduce the tax from the current 4.375 percent to 1 percent at a cost of about $13.1 million next fiscal year and $25.4 million the following year, according to the Bureau of Legislative Research.
Collins said he expects proposals to reduce the state�s income tax also will get serious consideration.
Beebe has successfully pushed for reducing the grocery tax from 6 percent to 1.5 percent since taking office in 2007. His latest balanced budget proposal includes further reducing the food tax to 0.125 percent, eliminating all of the state sales tax on groceries except for a one-eighth cent conservation tax approved by voters as Amendment 75 in 1996.
The tax cut, which officials estimate would cost the state $69 million, would be triggered if obligations in several key areas decline by at least $35 million for six consecutive months. They include payments the state must make to the three Pulaski County school districts as part of a desegregation settlement and some state bond payments.
Collins said no decision has been made on whether to include the governor�s tax cut proposal in the Legislature�s tax cut goals or to allow it to occur just as Beebe proposed.
�It�s too early to answer how that is going to come out,� he said. �I think one school of thought is that the governor has laid out his proposal as he would desire it to happen. I tend to respect that, and my goal, off the top of my head, would be to be able to deliver what he has asked for, but that doesn�t mean that has got to be that way. Obviously, this all needs to be part of a complete program.�
In fact, all of the tax cut proposals now before the House and Senate committees could be changed, Collins said.
�I think people have different priorities, and all of us have different views on what we think is the most impactful in terms of things like job growth and things of that nature,� he said.

It is not his finest hour. At 57, he still wreaks havoc and looks great in a tight T-shirt but he doesn't seem to be enjoying himself very much. Still, it's a good opportunity to look back at five of the best performances in Willis' eclectic, enduring career:
- "Die Hard" (1988): I had a huge crush on him as the quick-witted David Addison on "Moonlighting," which seems kinda creepy in retrospect, given that I was in junior high when the series launched and he's 17 years old than I am. But that role set the stage for the character that would go on to define his career: wisecracking New York cop John McClane. Willis is at his charismatic best in this `80s action classic: swaggering, smart-alecky and resourceful, but, at his core, just a regular guy trying to outwit the Euro baddies. The fact that he's not a superhero actually gives the character more power.
- "Pulp Fiction" (1994): One of the most important and influential movies of the 1990s, of course, with Willis in a role that lets him put all his talents on display at once. As a boxer named Butch who's supposed to throw a fight but ends up winning it instead, Willis is tough but tender, powerful yet vulnerable. Quentin Tarantino is in love with words and Willis is an excellent fit for his peculiar brand of verbosity; he's also very much up for the, um, many freaky and physical demands of appearing in a Tarantino film.
- "The Sixth Sense" (1999): If Willis' characters in the `80s were all about cunning and bravado, the late `90s and 2000s frequently found him in a more introspective mode, especially in this hell-of-a-twist blockbuster from M. Night Shyamalan. (The two would reteam the next year for another supernatural thriller, "Unbreakable," in which Willis is also very good in a low-key way.) Willis is the ghost at the center of this ghost story, a child psychologist working with a little boy (Haley Joel Osment) who, famously, sees dead people. The muting of Willis' action-star persona is what's so effective here; his quiet melancholy adds to the chilly mood.
- "Sin City" (2005): Willis once again plays a cop - John Hartigan, the last honest cop in this corrupt town - searching for an 11-year-old girl who would go on to become an exotic dancer played by Jessica Alba. In Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's gloriously stylized graphic novel-film noir mashup, Willis is the traditionally hardened, world-weary anti-hero looking to clear his name. It's a performance filled with both regret and determination, much of which he spells out in dramatic but understated voiceover.
- "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012): Wes Anderson's best live-action movie since "Rushmore" is all about the kids: two precocious pre-teens who fall in love and run off together but have nowhere to go on an insular New England island. Still, the adults provide an excellent supporting cast, including Willis as the island's lonely sheriff on the hunt for the runaways. There's great subtlety and sadness to his performance; you look at his character and the middle-aged rut he's gotten himself into and pray that these love-struck kids don't similarly lose their spark.

"Israel Lacks a Leader"
What is your assessment of the current political situation in Israel after Prime Minister Ehud Olmert resigns?
Uri Avnery: The political situation is extremely confusing. Nobody knows what will happen to Olmert. Either he will remain a few more months officially as prime minister, or he will be removed from office in one to two weeks. In other words, the situation is fraught with uncertainty.
Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni is tipped as likely candidate to succeed Olmert. What kinds of developments do you expect to see in Israel if she takes over the government?
Avnery: Accurately gauging Tzipi Livni is difficult because she is still very inexperienced. It is very hard to say who she really is and what she really thinks. In addition, she hasn't held a leading position. The post of foreign minister is de facto not very important in Israel. As a result, no one can know what Livni's government would look like.
What kind of influence could European politicians, particularly the Germans, have on this process?
Avnery: Europe, and especially Germany, currently has no influence because the US determines policies in the Middle East. The Europeans and the Germans have always lagged behind America in the Middle East. Europe's role is thus fairly unimportant.
In your opinion, what influence could a peace agreement between Syria and Israel have on the peace talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis?
Avnery: It's hard to say because there are two sides to the story. I would tend to think that a peace agreement would have a positive influence. At the same time, I can't imagine that such an agreement will be made.
Making peace with Syria would have to entail removing the Jewish settlers from the Golan Heights. This decision requires a very strong government, strong leadership and a strong prime minister. These are all things that we don't have in Israel. Olmert is in no position whatsoever to see through this kind of operation.
If Tzipi Livni comes to power, she will need a certain amount of time to build up a power base that will allow her to make such decisions. In any case, I'm very pessimistic.
Which Israeli public figure could push through such peace talks?
Avnery: That's hard to say because right now we have no leaders with the required charisma and power to push through this kind of peace agreement. There is some extremely intense in-fighting in Israel these days. The settlers on the Golan Heights are far more popular than the settlers on the West Bank. Removing them from this area is a political, moral and psychological move. I can't think of anyone who could push through a decision like this in the foreseeable future.
As a peace activist, what hopes do you have with regard to the political situation in Israel?
Avnery: There is no doubt that we have to do more. This also means that we have to rethink our tactics and strategies. We have a difficult task ahead of us that will certainly not get any easier. If Barack Obama is elected president in the upcoming US elections, America may perhaps change its approach. A fresh US foreign policy could encourage the Israeli government to do more to achieve peace.
Interview: Lina Hoffmann
© Deutsche Welle / Qantara.de 2008
Uri Avnery was a member of the founding generation of Israel and fought for independence in 1948. As co-publisher and editor of the weekly newspaper "Haolam Hazeh" (This World), as a former member of the Knesset, and as the founder of the peace organization "Gush Shalom" (Peace Block), he has strived to help create a Palestinian state for the past 50 years. Together with his wife Rahel, he received the Alternative Peace Prize in 2001.

Well, scale-out cannot be achieved with a shared storage and the word "shared" is the key. Scale-out is done with absolutely nothing shared or a "shared-nothing" architecture. This what makes it linear and unlimited. Any shared resource, creates a tremendous burden on each and every database server in the cluster.
In a previous post, I identified database engine activities such as buffer management, locking, thread locks/semaphores, and recovery tasks - as the main bottleneck in the OLTP database, handling reads and writes mixture. No matter which database engine, they all have all of the above, Oracle, MySQL, all of them. "The database engine itself becomes the bottleneck!" I wrote.
With a shared disk - there is a single shared copy of my big data on the shared disk, the database engine still have to maintain "buffer management, locking, thread locks/semaphores, and recovery tasks". But now - with a twist! Now all of the above need to be done "globally" between all participating servers, thru network adapters and cables, introducing latency. Every database server in the cluster needs to update all other nodes for every "buffer management, locking, thread locks/semaphores, and recovery tasks" it is doing on a block of data. See here number of "conversation paths" between the 4 nodes:
reminder from Computer Science courses...). Imagine the noise, the latency, for every "buffer management, locking, thread locks/semaphores, and recovery tasks". Shared-storage becomes shared-everything. Node A makes an update to block X - 10 machines need to acknowledge. I wanted to scale, but instead I multiplied the initial problem.
And I didn't even mention the fact that the shared disk might become a SPOF and a bottleneck.
And I didn't even mention the limitations when you wanna go with this to cloud or virtualization.
And I didn't mention the tons of money this toy costs. I prefer buying 2 of these, one for me and one for a good friend, and hit the road together...
Shared-disk solutions gives a very limited solution to OLTP scale. If the data is not distributed, computing resources required to handle this data will not be distributed and thus reduced, on the contrary, they will be multiplied and consume all available resources from all machines.

One Week Clean-Eating Challenge
First of all, you might be thinking "what? I thought this was supposed to be a sugar-free challenge!" It was. But as I was writing this post Tuesday night, and after thinking over some of the comments I received, I realized that it would actually be irresponsible of me to ask all of you to do a detox of any sort. I realize there's a tricky line with blogging and giving out unqualified advice. I never want to harm anyone, and in this case I think my excitement just got the best of me, and as I was typing it out I realized I need to be a bit smarter. Although I fully believe that making healthy changes wouldn't do any harm whatsoever, there are tens of thousands of people reading this post, and how am I to know what your medical or nutritional background is? I do believe that cutting out all sugar is a great idea, but if you are going to do so it might be best if you speak with a medical professional. For me the switch was great- and I do think that because I already ate well it was an easy change. But I don't know that everyone who reads this blog is in the same boat, and I would hate to make any assumptions, especially when dealing with someone's health. Thanks to Vanessa and Lindsay for your thoughtful comments on the matter that really got me thinking. You all know that I'm not a doctor or a registered dietician, but I feel comfortable encouraging all of you to just be healthier and eat REAL, whole foods.
So with that said, I thought it would be much safer and a better idea to encourage all of you to eat clean for a week, beginning Monday, January 30th. This means you would still avoid sugar, but fruit is a-okay. If you want to try this out, you'll be focusing on WHOLE foods, no refined sugars, no processed items, and also cutting things out like white pastas and breads if you'd like.
If you feel this is too much to commit to- maybe you eat fast food everyday or have a sweet tooth- maybe choose one area to focus on throughout this week. Perhaps you want to promise to forgo all processed items, or just not eat any refined sugar. Any way you want to do this is great- it's all about what is best for you.
And what is clean-eating? From my fave clean-eating lady (Tosca Reno's) website: "It is eating the way nature intended. You eat the foods our bodies evolved to function best on, and that makes you feel – and look – fantastic. When you Eat Clean you eat more often. You will eat lean protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats. These practices keep your blood-sugar levels stable and keep you satisfied."
I thought I'd post this well before the weekend so you have enough time to prepare your kitchen for the upcoming week. I'm going to tell that you that it's going to be hard, especially if you're used to eating processed food every day, but I promise you if you stick with it for these seven days you will feel great at the end, and maybe even want to keep it up in some way or another.
On Sunday night I'd recommend preparing some of your base foods so you don't feel stressed during the week. Be sure to make a big pot of quinoa if you can, chop up veggies and put them in easy to access containers in your fridge, and make any of the big items you'll eat each day. I often will cook some chicken breasts on Sunday evening so I can just grab them and go throughout the week. And If you work you're also going to want to take time each night to pack a healthy lunch and snacks for yourself.
Also- I know it can be hard to do something like this when you have an entire family to feed, or even a partner who may be supportive, but isn't into changing their diet. First of all, remember this is just for a week. A lot of the recipes I've included below are really, really awesome and I believe that all people would be into them, even without an open mind. Also remember that as far as meals go, you aren't that limited. You can eat everything that is whole and natural. Let's say your partner is a meat and white potatoes kind of guy or gal- well, you can do meat and sweet potatoes! Family likes pasta? Try quinoa (see my linked post on it above). Make little changes and I bet your whole family may get on board.
I thought it would be great to round up some recipes around the web for inspiration, followed by quick meal ideas.
Ricotta and Spinach Frittata (you can make this on Sunday and eat it throughout the week- it will be enough for four breakfasts.)
Veggie Omelette
Zucchini Fritters
Quinoa pancakes- just don't take her sweet topping suggestions! ;)
plain Greek yogurt with sliced almonds
a slice or two of Ezekial bread with almond butter
Wasa crackers with almond butter and a few berries
steel cut oatmeal
Lunch: (this is tough to separate because I eat the same things for lunch and dinner)
Salad with my homemade, favorite salad dressing
Pizza made in the oven/toaster oven on an Ezekial tortilla
beans and avocado with salsa
baked or microwaved sweet potato with broccoli and cheese
bowl of quinoa and steamed veggies
healthy, homemade soups
Portabello mushroom pizzas- be sure if you use tomato sauce try to avoid unnecessary, added sugar- Trader Joe's makes a great one, but you can also just mash up some Roma tomatoes to stand in for the sauce.
big salad topped with protein of choice (chicken, salmon, etc.)
Sweet potato/black bean/quinoa burgers
Chicken Taco Stew (omit the taco seasoning in favor of your own spices- those flavor packets include a lot of nasty additives and preservatives)
Walnut-crusted chicken breasts (be sure to use an Ezekial bread slice rather than the whole wheat specified in the recipe)
Quick Kale and Quinoa Minestrone
veggie stirfry
bean burritos with fresh salsa
Kale chips
Edamame with sea salt (you can buy ready-to-microwave packs at Costco)
Wasa crackers with almond butter and a few mashed up raspberries
hummus and veggies
plain Greek yogurt with sliced almonds
pieces of cheese and meat rolled up
raw nuts (raw means unroasted, no salt, etc.)
To recap, remember you are eating whole foods- fruits, veggies, lean proteins, healthy grains, nuts and seeds. No processed food or refined sugars. No soda! The more colorful your plate the better, so be sure to focus on variety in your meals. The recipes and meals I listed up above are just ideas, so feel free to look around online and get creative.
When it gets tough, remind yourself that this is not a punishment, it's actually a reward. Nothing feels better than being healthy, and I know that at the end of this week you will feel great when you look back and know that you only ate whole, healthy foods for an entire seven days. And if you mess up, do not give up! It's all part of the journey. Just make sure the next thing you choose to eat is on point.
Here are a few clean-eating blogs to check out: one, two and three! The last one is my most favorite. And here is a large collection of recipes on the Eat-Clean website.
And if you're on Twitter, be sure to keep me updated via @danihampton and use the hashtag #SScleaneating so we can all follow along. I was going to just use #cleaneating, but it's a well-used tag and wouldn't allow all of our tweets to be in an organized feed.
Oh! And also, if you end up cooking and blogging about an awesome meal, send me the link! I will share it next week so everyone else can get inspired too.
Get ready...Monday will be here before you know it! I'm so excited.

I'd love to try this but with a 2 month old I think it might be a bit too difficult at the moment :( Still I will aim to eat better this week even if I just stocked our fridge full of ready made meals!ReplyDelete
I don't know if anyone has shared this site with you: http://www.sarahwilson.com.au/
She's an Australian who's been a magazine editor, a presenter on Masterchef etc... but she has quit sugar and some of her posts etc... were quite interesting and inspiring.
Excellent. Two glitter-tipped thumbs up! This is a challenge that I can get excited about! I'm moving to a new house this weekend, so it's the perfect time to review my eating habits. I'm looking forward to cooking some of these scrummy recipes in my new kitchen.ReplyDelete
Your blog is wonderful and has the potential to make all of your readers better people. :) This challenge could NOT be more timely for me. Thanks a million! :)ReplyDelete
I'm definitely excited to try this!!! I've had a nasty chocolate craving hit me, which rarely ever does, this last week. Plus, I have an unhealthy addiction to sugar, something that does worry my wife Jen often as her family has a history of diabetes. On top of all that, I'm looking to just become healthier overall, so this is seriously just great. <3ReplyDelete
So inspired by this. I think my diet is pretty good but its so easy for processed foods to sneak in and much of what is marketed as "healthy" is full of rubbish! This is also a really great chance for me to try some new meal ideas as I do feel like I get into food ruts and eat essentially the same foods everyday.ReplyDelete
Woo hoo! I'm jumping on this. I usually eat pretty clean, but never for a week at a time. I always have one or two naughty days were I tend to go crazy on stuff.ReplyDelete
Soooo excited :) Yippee. Here's to healthy living :)ReplyDelete
One of my favorite books on clean eating is Tosca Reno's book "the eat clean diet" there is an awesome work out routine with it and I always feel amazing when I eat clean and do her work outs. (I am 2 weeks in to a clean diet and p90x routine and feel amazing.) eating clean is the best, I'll never go back.ReplyDelete
This is great!ReplyDelete
If I were you I would stay off the lunch meat.. it really is bad for you and super processed :)
I was just writing a blog post about healthy living malaise! This challenge was exactly what I needed. Thanks Danielle!ReplyDelete
I am looking forward to this challenge. My diet is already pretty clean, so for me this next week will be cutting out refined sugars and focusing on getting rid of those few processed food stragglers that are still around.ReplyDelete
I am super excited!
- AnonymousJanuary 26, 2012 at 6:18 AM
I plan on joining in on this! My soon to be hub and I have already started cutting processed foods out of our diet & have made the switch from white to wheat, so this shouldn't be too difficult! I love your meal ideas and I am all go for preparing meals on Sunday! I think I shall start doing this on the regular! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Another great recipe is roasted cauliflower!ReplyDelete
1 head organic cauliflower (cut in to pieces)
1 T of olive oil
1 garlic clove minced
dash of sea salt
Set your oven to 425 degrees. Put all above ingredients in a bowl. Shake it around. Spread out on a cookie sheet. Flip after 15 min. Roast another 15-20 min. Serve as a snack or a side dish! So delicious!
I am so in! Lucky for me I'll barely be changing the way I already eat, so it shouldn't be too bad of a challenge for me :) Good luck everyone!ReplyDelete
I've already been doing this for January, following a http://whole9life.com/2012/01/whole-30-v2012/ Whole30 protocol with some other changes to rule out food allergies. I feel great! I get some acne when I snack on nuts, but otherwise have no negative symptoms (aside from still apparently being allergic to something arrggh!).ReplyDelete
This sounds really great but I have to ask - does your son eat all these recipes? My 3-year-old can be very picky. I want to feed our family healthier meals but yikes, I don't think he would go near the kale chips. I however, will try them.ReplyDelete
Also? We're on a strict budget and can't shop at the expensive whole foods stores. I'm hoping I can find some good options at the cheap store. None of their produce is organic so I try to wash it really well before we eat.
I'm not ready for the whole challenge, but you have definitely inspired me to make some healthy changes/additions for me and my family, so thank you! Off to buy some quinoa... baby steps ;)ReplyDelete
I think this is so great! I already try to subscribe to the clean eating lifestyle (although I do deviate every now and then), but would love to join the challenge as a way to show support and share some ideas and recipes with friends on my blog. Yay!ReplyDelete
I made kale chips for the first time last week and they are SO good. I'm so glad you included them in your snack list. =] I can't wait to do this and be in a supportive community AND feel great at the end of the week!ReplyDelete
Hi! Can you eat tofu? I'm starting a blog eatmoregreenfood.com to chronicle my new years resolution to "eat more green food.". Been a vegetarian for over 15 years but still wasn't making the best food choices. I started posting my food pics on Instagram @michelle_my_belle and had a lot of people interested in what I was eating! If you search #eatmoregreenfood on IG you will see a lot of my green food! I love this clean eating idea!ReplyDelete
I'm very excited about taking part in a clean eating week next week! I've been wanting to try it for ages and your post has inspired me to do so! I have been "diet blogging" (dietingbeth.blogspot.com) for the last month or so, so shall definitely do a few posts about this. Thanks for the meal ideas and blog links - will check those all out. Looking forward to spending Sunday making some soups for the week :)ReplyDelete
This is going to be tough, but I'm excited for it!!ReplyDelete
I'm just wrapping up a detox I did throughout January. I feel fantastic, good luck to you! If you want some more recipe inspirations, check out my detox posts here: http://saturdayswithmaggy.blogspot.com/p/detox-life.htmlReplyDelete
I'm excited for this, thanks for all the meal ideas. As I've stated before I'm doing the no-sugar as well so this won't be hard for me. Ironically, my "sugar strike" was supposed to end Jan 30th, but I was going back and forth about adding another week or two. I guess I'll be adding that extra week.ReplyDelete
Great post, Danielle.

I try to eat clean, but I definately don't all the time. This will be a fun challenge. I did it last year & you're right, you do feel so much better. My face was glowing. I do have a MAJOR sweet tooth though. Thanks for the great recipies & I'm looking forward to checking out the blogs you listed. I'm making a grocery list right now!ReplyDelete
This is great!! I have been really wanting to 'clean up' my diet lately. I've been doing okay (I find it really challenging being married to someone who is SUCH a picky eater) but I think this is a great motivator. And awesome meal ideas!ReplyDelete
My eating habits have absolutely sucked lately because I work at a job where grabbing fast food is the easiest thing to do on break. I really love your meal ideas, so maybe I'll try clean-eating for at least a couple days and see how I feel.ReplyDelete
(OK, I admit I haven't read through all the comments but) .... I would really recommend listening to this nutrition podcast: http://lemonandraspberry.com/2011/09/a-seed-of-inspiration-dishing-up-nutrition-podcast/ReplyDelete
Not only do the nutritionists discuss all kinds of recipes and food options, but they discuss specific health issues and HOW they can be affected by diet/nutrition, cite actual scientific research to support it AND have adorable Minnesota accents....
I've learned SO Much from from them!
Your recent posts and made me want to change some of my eating habits. I tend to crave sugar at night, and often indulge in that. So instead I am going to just eat a piece of fruit or cheese instead of the ice cream, cinnamon-sugar toast and chocolate I was eating.ReplyDelete
I don't ever see myself giving up fruit but I am going to try to eliminate added sugars.
well I just actually started making better choices a week ago. I realized just how much extra junk is put in our food, even simple things such as bread. I used to think people that were all into this whole food stuff was crazy but now that I'm nearing 30 and have 3 kids to feed and keep up with, i am becoming one of those "crazy" people. it actually makes me mad when look at the ingredients and see all the extra stuff in what should be simple foods! My problem is that with my family of five, I was spending $200 easy on groceries per week! and i also desperately need to lower that so shopping at whole foods is not going to help this problem. I have decided to serve 3 vegetarian meals a week, and I personally am not going to eat meat now since I never really cared for it. also my husband and i need to cut back on our snacking. so this allows me to spend money on better quality food now, and without as much meat i am saving on my bill!. I made my first trip to trader joes and it was neat, although i still had to label read, there was a better chance for better foods. I still eat m&ms, and some no-no foods but i am so happy with our switch. I just feel good.ReplyDelete
i have gone without sugar before and i agree once you get over the withdraw, it becomes so easy! but I also never fully went no sugar- i loved my bread and fruits.
I'll admit your blog inspired me to eat more wholly, so thank you!
P.S. I've also read that eating protein for breakfast helps curb sugar cravings later in the day.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 26, 2012 at 1:16 PM
I really want to do this (for longer than one week,too!) However,I'm afraid I won't be getting enough nutrients or I might get too many (is that possible?). Should I talk to my doc first about eating healthier? Or is it better to just go with it and not worry? I don't know what I'm doing really,so if you have any advice or blogs or whatever for me to check out,I'd appreciate it. Thanks.ReplyDelete
I'm so excited to start! I eat a fairly healthy diet now, but it has a ton of room for improvement. Far too often I often cave into the convenience of pre-packaged foods and snacks. I'm hoping by prepping ahead of time I can stay motivated to make better choices. I can't wait to see how I feel at the end of the week. Who knows, maybe I can even get my husband to try it!ReplyDelete
Awesome! I was into the whole sugar free thing, but this is so much more accessible and I am so much more excited!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 26, 2012 at 11:17 PM
I will admit, I was going to keep fruit anyway! Yay, now I am SUPER excited for this. I have been cleaning up my eats this month anyway so being a bit more strict for a week should be a fun challenge :)ReplyDelete
I'm SO glad you shifted the general focus to something that promotes cleaning up your eats because I think ANYONE and EVERYONE can do that and achieve long term success rather than focusing on specific "bad foods" There are so many great whole foods out there and I think many people want to eat cleaner just need a little direction in how to do so. I also like to promote eating local whenever possible and really become aware of where your food is coming from and how it affects not just your body but your community, and the world. Thanks Danielle for being so great about feedback and starting all of this!ReplyDelete
I love the sound of this! Like some of the other commenters, I was intrigued by the sugar-free diet but a little overwhelmed at the idea of cutting out all sugar (though it has helped me, even in just the past two or three days, to become more aware of sugars in the foods I buy). I normally eat fairly well but am far too susceptible to "treating" myself with something processed, sugary, or fast-food-y, I think committing myself to a clean diet for a week will help me at least think about making better choices and be more aware of how I eat.ReplyDelete
This is wonderful! And it comes at the best time, considering the fact that my little family has just gone vegetarian (and hopefully soon, vegan!)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 28, 2012 at 11:01 AM
I'm definitely going to do this! I made a post about clean living today and I linked on over to here! I hope I can do this.ReplyDelete

I'm glad Clean Eating is such a topic this month! I'm trying my best: http://kittycatchbutterfly.blogspot.com/2012/01/ramblings.html Loving it so far!ReplyDelete
Nutritionally, what's the difference between eating raw or roasted nuts? I LOVE making my own almond butter!ReplyDelete
Woohoo! Just stumbled on your blog, but I'm so glad I did :) My husband and I are both in...should be great!ReplyDelete
Hey. I'm Kate , I'm from Ukraine I want to become a organic healthy skinny eater. Thank you. Good luck everyone!ReplyDelete
Alright, you've got me! I'm joining in. I'm not totally abandoning sugar - I'll eat fruit still - but no added sugar. And I'm doing it for a week! Oh yes! Giving up on my DH's birthday and then maybe, possibly, re-starting? We'll see how hard it is!ReplyDelete
i would love love to do this but everything required i wouldn't be able to eat. I'm going through a weird diet of avoiding goitrogens and eggs and dairy make me go fetal from pain.ReplyDelete
I'll be happy to admire and cheer on the sidelines!! GO YOU!!

Irishcopywriters necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
CB Motorcycles Limited
Although I have a varied background..soldier, mechanic, electrician, network marketer, real estate mogul, contractor, internet marketer, copy writer, etc., my love is building custom motorcycles and riding. I have found through my own experience that the motorcycle shops tend to overcharge and rip off bikers, because they have no recourse if they wish to keep their bikes running. I decided to set up a site and become a parts dealer with as many suppliers as I can to give everyone a great deal on parts (and of course be able to build custom bikes, at a cheaper price) I can writer copy and sell stuff, but my graphic design skills aren't that great. Please see my website at http://www.cb-motorcycles.com to see my existing logo that I designed. I need something that better says what I intend to do - offer custom parts at 10% over dealer price. Since I plan on marketing 95% of my parts on the internet, I can get by without a fancy showroom and alot of stock.
My target market will be mostly for Harley Davidson motorcycle riders, but I'm not proud...I'll sell to anyone.
With the info above, you should have enough of a brief to try to give me something that will stand out and create a brand that will be memorable. Go ahead, be creative. The logo I did on my website was done in about 15 minutes in photoshop, but I dont really like it. See if you can improve on it. I also have some 30 different websites and businesses, so if we get along, I will keep giving you work from my own stuff and clients of mine.

OK, folks, *it's* getting real in the Tuesdays with Dorie baking group. We are down to our last 3 recipes in Dorie Greenspan's book, Baking; From My Home to Yours. This week's host blogs are the two head honchos of the group: Laurie of Slush, who started this whole project 4 years ago, and Jules of Someone's in the Kitchen, who has been doing yeoman's duty administering the group.
Next Tuesday we all get to choose something from the past recipes to make and post. And the last Tuesday in December?
On December 27 Dorie Greenspan herself is choosing the final recipe of the book. Well when there's only one recipe left, I'm not sure you can really call it a choice, but Dorie is hosting us for the final week of TWD. I'm sure I'll be smiling through the tears at Dorie's "party" on the last week.
This week was another double header. First, a lovely tart:
Puffed Double Plum Tart
n.o.e.'s notes:
- You can find the recipe for this tart on Jules' tart post today.
- Back in October I found some Italian (prune) plums at the grocery store so I went ahead and baked this tart then.
- I made 1/3 recipe, using 6 dried prunes and 3 Italian prune plums. I didn't realize when I bought them, but the dried prunes were cherry flavored (and quite delicious!). Following Dorie's directions, the prunes are steeped for 15 minutes in spiced red wine. Then the wine mixture is boiled down to make a syrup which is dabbed on the tart before baking.
- For sprinkling on the edges of the crust I used turbinado sugar, figuring that the sugar crunch would add a nice texture.
- Once it's in the oven, I always halfway hold my breath until the puff pastry actually puffs
- I used duFour all-butter puff pastry that I had in the back corner of my freezer. Its directions say that moderate oven temperatures are best for this pastry, recommending the temperature of 375, so I baked the tart at 375 for 15 min + 360 for 10 minutes. At that point it was nicely golden and puffed around the edges.
- The pastry under the fruit didn't puff, so perhaps my tart might have needed more time in the oven. Also, syrup ran off the edges of the tart so it's possible that I was too generous with my "dabbing" of the (delicious) syrup!
- Although Dorie said to put some of the fresh plums cut side up and some cut side down, next time I would keep all of the fresh ones cut side up because their more golden color provided a greater contrast with the dried ones (which were dark).
the verdict:
This tart was a perfect autumnal treat. The buttery crust paired beautifully with the deeply intense wine-steeped plums. My husband said it was "a gustatory delight" and I totally agree with him. We ate the entire tart in one sitting and were very regretful that I'd only made a mini tart. I'd have to say that this was one of the top fruit desserts in Dorie's book; it was just that good.
...and the second recipe for this week:
Chocolate Blueberry Ice Cream
I'm not sure why this recipe's flavor combination sounds so odd; chocolate and fruit are an age-old pairing. And I've been known to toss of handfuls of chocolate-covered blueberries at a time. But odd or not, after all these years of TWD I finally know well enough to trust Dorie's instincts, so I decided to make this ice cream as she developed it.
n.o.e.'s notes:
- Laurie's ice cream post has the recipe and her reflections 4 years after starting the TWD group. Head over there and check it all out from the original TWD member!
- This was the kind of ice cream base that after an overnight in my fridge turned pudding-like and too thick to churn. I think this probably comes from using so much chopped chocolate. I guess the solution might be to not chill the base quite as long, and/or stir in preserves (and alcohol if you use it) before putting the base into ice cream maker rather than afterwards, as the recipe directs.
- My blueberry preserves had whole blueberries in it. I was hoping that they wouldn't turn into icy pieces as they froze but luckily they didn't.
- Per a tip from ice cream guru David Lebovitz, I added 1.5 T kirsch liqueur to improve texture of the ice cream and add a subtle fruity boost.
- This is a small-yield recipe; it made a heaping pint of ice cream
the verdict:
The blueberry is subtle in this ice cream, providing a hint of fruit to the intense chocolate flavor. The bits of blueberry in my preserves provide little fruity punctuation and a fun textural note.

With Will Yeguete out until the SEC Tournament, the last thing coach Billy Donovan wanted to see was a motionless player on the floor.
With Will Yeguete out until the SEC Tournament and the Gators down to a seven-man rotation, the last thing coach Billy Donovan wanted to see was a motionless player on the floor.
So when freshman guard Michael Frazier II was knocked out of the game with a concussion in the second half of Florida's 71-54 win over Arkansas on Saturday night, it instantly complicated things in a major way for the thinning Gators.
"We've got to play eight guys," Donovan said. "We've got to get another guy to go in there. We have to use Braxton (Ogbueze) or Dillon (Graham) because right now Yeguete isn't playing Tuesday and neither is Frazier, so in terms of rotation, six guys is not enough to go to Knoxville with."
Despite being down to six players, the Gators maintained their energy and hustle. Florida outrebounded Arkansas 38-30, grabbing 12 offensive rebounds. The Gators drew charges, dove on the floor for loose balls and managed a defensive effort that held the Razorbacks to 36.2 percent from the floor and 22.2 percent from 3-point range. The setback to Frazier — who finished with six points, three rebounds and an assist in 15 minutes — forced the Gators to change up their style of play against the Razorbacks, but Florida responded. "I'm proud of our guys because we've battled this all year long," Donovan said. "Fatigue becomes a factor as it did today, and we switched doing zone instead of our guys chasing around, but our guys fought through and they battled." Donovan isn't sure how long Frazier will be out. He said it could be a week, 10 days or two weeks before Frazier successfully passes the baseline tests and returns to the court. Florida at full strength has been a rarity this season with Erik Murphy (broken rib), Mike Rosario (ankle), Casey Prather (concussion, ankle), Scottie Wilbekin (suspension), and Yeguete (knee) all missing time at different points in the season. After the game, Donovan said there has only been three games in which the Gators have had their full complement of players. Although it's actually been seven full games, it's not a surprise that Donovan would feel that way with the rash of injuries. Now, UF will have to find a way to get some of their younger players some reps in the next two days to get them prepared for a Tuesday night showdown with Tennessee. The Vols have won five straight and are coming off their 93-85 quadruple-overtime win at Texas A&M on Saturday. "I just feel like we got to have somebody else step up," Rosario said. "That's the goal right now. I feel like we've been in this situation a lot. I feel like our young guys are ready, and our teammates are sure that we're going to have to have somebody step up and give us the good majority of minutes that Frazier was getting. We need somebody to really take those and be productive."

Dodgy lighting today, Not sure what was going on as I took it at the same time I usually do! Routine! Probably a bit warm for this outfit today if Im being honest. So I just wore the skirt and the boob tube for most of the day! I can't get my head around the changing weather at the moment so Im not making any rash decisions and bringing my summer clothes out again! I was recently send a whopping massive package of Claire's Accessories jewellery and included were some of these cross and skull bracelets which I absolutely love! I actually saw them in store a few weeks (yah I went into Claire's Accessories at the age of 22!) ago and they were only around £4-£5 which is a bargain as Im sure the one I got from Topshop which exactly the same was about £8! The nails and polish Im wearing are also from Claires, but I couldn't get any good snaps of them but I'll try again tomorrow!
Last night I joined Pinterest, I don't really understand it fully yet but Im sort of trying to get my head around it! I hear Pinterest is a pretty big deal and thought it was about time I got around to checking it out! If you have one please link me in the comments so I can check it out and follow etc! It looks visually exciting but hard to get! You can follow me here! Im going to be posting all the photos from my blog posts as well as things like wish lists etc!

One man wasn't taking any chances when it came to missing his flight.
A 28-year-old Israeli man is in hot water after he allegedly scaled a fence at the Nashville airport in the middle of the night, then broke into and boarded an American Airlines plane that was parked at a gate, The Tennessean reported.
"I own the world," Ram Porat told police, according to the arrest report. "It was something I wanted to do and an obstacle I wanted to overcome."
He never gained access to secured areas of the Nashville International Airport, but he did make it into the plane, parked at gate C-19, before airline employees found him there and called the police.
Cops charged Porat with unlawful entry to a secured airport area and aircraft as well as with vandalism and criminal trespass. According to Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronoth, he was released on $14,000 bail.
The Tennessean reported that Porat damaged the airport fence, which was marked with "no trespassing" signs as a secure area, in the process of scaling it.
Both papers reported that Porat had been arrested just last week for driving under the influence and drug offenses after he was found with almost 16 grams of marijuana during a traffic stop.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
According to Yediot Ahronoth, Porat's friends on Facebook were unimpressed by his antics.
"You need help man, pronto," one reportedly wrote on his wall. "I just hope you'll come to your senses before becoming a crack-head or being locked up until you're 50."

In the dependably entertaining if less than top-notch fifth Oregon Files thriller from bestseller Cussler and Du Brul (after Skeleton Crew), Capt. Juan Cabrillo, who heads the Corporation, a covert military company for hire, and the multifaceted crew of the Oregon, a high-tech ship disguised to look like a tramp steamer, take on a group known as the Responsivists. The Responsivists publicly espouse a program of global population control, but are secretly planning a devastating attack on the human race utilizing a virulent virus found aboard an ancient ship that may be Noah's Ark. The authors are up to their usual high standards when in fighting mode, though the chief villain, the doctor who heads the Responsivists, falls short of Juan's billing as the single-most-evil human being I have ever met. Readers may wish that next time out the bad guys put up more of a struggle.

Austin Kirk had another outstanding outing, this time he got some help from his offense. Daytona put up eight runs in the first three innings to decide this one early. Ronald Torreyes had a huge day at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two doubles and a triple. Richard Jones also had three hits, but Greg Rohan did the most damage going 1-for-2 with a home run and five RBI's.
