Now Is Not The Time For A Vacation
Weekly commentary by CBS Evening News chief Washington correspondent and Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer.
I was in my office reading the newspaper one day last week when I heard someone on one of the cable networks say, "Vice President Cheney urged the Iraqi parliament to abandon plans for a two month summer vacation."
I guess I should have heard about it before, but somehow I hadn't and it hit me with a jolt. I mean who could be serious about taking two months off while people – Americans and Iraqis – were dying just beyond the parliament door.
But then I heard the television reporter say the Vice President had told the Iraqis that with so much at stake, "any undue delay would be hard to explain."
I've got a couple of issues with the vice president but I am with him on that one.
Big time.
We have a sharp debate going on in our Congress about whether to bring our troops home from Iraq. I buy some of those arguments, some I don't.
But I haven't heard a better argument for withdrawal than the Iraqi parliament's decision to take a vacation in the coming weeks. That makes the case far better than "our poor power to add or detract," to quote another American wartime president.
The idea that the Vice President of the United States would have to go to Baghdad to urge the Iraqis not to take a vacation is ludicrous in itself. If the Iraqis think the American people will put up with that, I'm sorry, they better think again.
I'm not sure even the President's strongest supporters would put up with that.

Top Three Thursdays on Etsy kicks off this week with a wooden wonder. I am amazed in general by what people can do with wood but I am especially impressed by those who can turn wood. This impressive cherry bowl by James McClure is an obvious example. Just look at the beauty in the shape here! How do people do this? (And by the way, this is just one of several impressive turned pieces from this man. Check out his Etsy shop for further amazement.) The bowl, which is 9 inches tall and 8 inches wide, is meant for decorative purposes only and is finished with a clear acrylic. Price is $225.
A variation on the nature theme here is this funky clay antler mobile from Artisanie Europe's shop. I'm not going to lie: This is not something I really get or would buy but I also think it's unusual and something that might appeal to someone else so here it is. The creator, based in Europe, has a little story for the inspiration of this mobile. She writes, "Fairy tales and fables tell of the beauty found deep in the Black Forest. The creatures here in this German mountain range are hidden from the sunlight under the densely growing pine and fir trees, but one young deer has shed its antlers, brought to light in this sculptural mobile in pure white clay." Kind of sweet isn't it? The antlers are made from pure white clay. Price is about $369 in USD.
And finally this rustic Bentwood chair made from birch. I have a friend who made some outdoor furniture from trees, teaching herself how to do it. I was both amazed and irritated that she could figure it out. We did have many lovely hours, though, on her lawn sipping gin and tonics and eating grilled food as our children played in the yard. The chair reminds me of those lovely summer nights. This chair from SNL Creations (the second Canadian in today's post, oddly) is made from grey birch and costs $165.

What do you do when those thoughts come creeping in, little by little at first, until they swamp your brain?
I am mad at myself lately. I have been procrastinating and it's getting close to the end of the semester. I've made a lot of great progress this year and I am proud of that, but still when I screw something up I get so pissed at myself. Why can't I be better at getting stuff done? Why am I such a failure of adulting?
I feel completely overwhelmed with the work that remains before the semester is over. I am generally a lot better than I was a few months ago, but the deadlines are all coming up fast and I am freaking out.
And it's when I am angry at myself that the thoughts of self-harm, which usually don't bother me that much, get really bad. I haven't acted on them and I don't think I will, be the thoughts are just THERE, persistent, endless.
(Comic is from Hyperbole and a Half, the best web comic for depression probably ever. All credit to her, none to me!)

The Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) held a public comment period, which ended June 6, 2017, for a rulemaking to add Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Systems with Unreacted Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanates (MDI) as a Priority Product to the Priority Product List in regulation 69511, Article 11, Chapter 55, Division 4.5 of Title 22, CCR, due to potential worker and consumer exposure. SPF systems are typically used for insulation and roofing in order to increase a building's energy efficiency, but the use of SPF containing unreacted MDI are associated with adverse health effects. Priority Product listing for MDI will require manufacturers to identify if the chemical is necessary and if there are any safer alternatives.
For more information regarding the Priority Product rulemaking program updates, please visit the DTSC-CalSAFER website or Trinity's Bakersfield office at (661) 282-2200.

Nike drops Patriots' Antonio Brown amid assault allegations
Nike has parted ways with New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown, who has been accused of sexual assault by a trainer.
"Antonio Brown is not a Nike athlete," a company spokesman said Thursday via email, declining to elaborate on the reasons for the split. "We don't get into specifics of sports marketing relationships."
Brown, 31, was released by the Oakland Raiders on Sept. 7 and immediately signed to a one-year contract by the Patriots, the defending NFL champions. Days later, former trainer Britney Taylor filed a civil lawsuit accusing Brown of sexually assaulting and raping her. Brown has denied the allegations.
Nike ended its relationship with the Baltimore Ravens' Ray Rice when a video of him hitting his wife surfaced in September 2014, and did the same with the Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson after he was accused of child abuse that same month.
However, the company stuck with soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo this summer after he disclosed paying $375,000 to settle an allegation that he raped a woman in Las Vegas in 2009.
The Beaverton, Oregon-based sporting-goods giant released its Nike Tech Trainer Antonio Brown shoe in February.
The Boston Globe earlier reported Nike's Brown decision.

TMZ reports they are aware of how the suicide attempt might significantly increase their insurance policy on the film, but they are willing to suck it up to have the 15-year-old in their movie.
A source connected to the project told TMZ, "There's a policy that we will have to buy now that we would not have had to buy prior to the incident. We're prepared to pay a large amount of money for the policy. Fortunately, we have a big budget."
The film doesn't begin shooting for another six months, so the producers feel Paris will be back on track by then.
As for Paris' recovery, TMZ also reports that L.A. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff, who is overseeing the guardianship of Michael Jackson's three children, has ordered an investigator to "prepare a written report and include therein any recommendations relating to the minor child's health, education and welfare."
Finally, RadarOnline.com reports she will not be returning to the private school where Paris was being bullied.
A family source told RadarOnline, "It has already been decided she won't be going back to the school she had been attending. Paris had been absolutely miserable at the school for a long time, and there is a clique of mean girls that had been bullying her."

Wake up and good morning. Some startling statistics follow with tough implications for Florida as Baby Boomers age...
A third of Florida's senior Social Security recipients survive on only their monthly government checks, according to an analysis by AARP, says a South Florida Sun-Sentinel story. Contrast that with the nation as a whole where only 25 percent of retirees 65 and older depend solely on Social Security, the senior advocacy group said. Advanced age has a lot to do with it, meaning Florida has plenty of aging people who simply outlive their other means of support.
As the Sun-Sentinel notes, Florida has nearly 800,000 residents 80 and older, second only to California's 1 million. But Florida's total population is half of California's. Florida alone has 3,492 centenarians receiving Social Security, nearly 7 percent of the nation's total. "Folks have spent down their assets," Jeff Johnson, AARP interim director in Florida, says in the article. Floridians 80 and older are about three times as likely to depend on Social Security exclusively than retirees 67 and younger, according to U.S. Census Bureau data analyzed by Hector Flores of the nonprofit National Council of Aging.
So what happens when Boomers -- already infamous for their poor or non-existent saving for retirement -- flood Florida in retirement and a hefty percentage of them rely solely on Social Security?
Maybe Florida's inadvertently solved its future problem. Says the Sun-Sentinel: "Many no longer consider Florida a haven for retirees. Kiplinger magazine doesn't include Florida in its latest report on 10 tax-friendly states for retirees. The magazine complained that sales and real estate taxes can be expensive in the Sunshine State." Kiplinger's top state for retirees? Wyoming. Be sure to enjoy those winters. It's followed by Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.

The Department of Cardiology is a highly sensitive area with the latest equipments in diagnostic and intensive care technology with extremely skilled and knowledgeable adult and Paediatric cardiologists and clinicians.
The services include:
Advanced methods of diagnosis and treatment are carried out on a routine basis with the help of the following equipment and procedures
A highly skilled team of cardiothoracic surgeons, anesthetists, intensive care specialists and dedicated critical care nurses operate in tandem at the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery. The department houses state-of-the-art porcelain operating suites with separate adult and Paediatric intensive care units. With the ever-changing scenario of surgical techniques and technology, the dedicated team at Frontier Lifeline keeps up with the changing trends in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery in order to give the best, brilliant and biggest successes in the most intricate surgeries for congenital and acquired heart diseases, thoracic, vascular diseases and organ transplantation.
The entire gamut of cardiac diseases from neonates to adolescents is skillfully and competently handled.
Dedicated operating rooms and Post- operative ICUs with state-of-the-art equipment and experienced staff, provide 24/7 cardiac care of the highest order.
In 1995, aided by the most advanced technology, cardiac care and surgical skills, Dr. K. M. Cherian performed the first heart transplant in India at his International Centre for Cardio-thoracic and Vascular Diseases in Chennai. This was made possible only after the landmark legislation for brain death which passed the law permitting transplantation of human organs in the country. With phenomenal experience and far-sightedness, he also conducted the first bi-lateral lung transplant, the first pediatric heart transplant as well as the first heart and lung transplant in India.
64-slice CT coronary angiogram is the latest non-invasive modality for imaging coronary arteries. It is done on a multislice CT scan which has 64 rows of detectors to give a high sub-millimeter resolution of 0.6X0.6X0.6mm.
What type of information does the CT cardiovascular scan provide?
With the advent of multi-slice detectors and high powered computer programs, we are able to reconstruct the anatomy of the heart arteries .We can look at the size of the arteries, see exactly where blood flows and determine if there is a blockage .The number of detectors is important because the heart, unlike other structures, is beating and is in constant motion and hence acquisition must be fast.
What are the possible indications for undergoing CT cardiovascular scan?
How is the CT cardiovascular scan performed?
It is a non-invasive diagnostic test similar to any CT scan and is performed as an outpatient procedure. A drug like beta blocker, to control the heart rate, is given prior to the procedure. Iodinated contrast is injected through a peripheral vein by a syringe pump at a rate of 4-5ml/min. The scan is triggered as soon as contrast opacifies the aorta. The enire scan is completed within 5-10 seconds. CT scanner rapidly spins around the patient about four times a second. It obtains 64x4 i.e 256 images (slices) of the heart in a second.
Frontier Lifeline has made this diagnostic service available to patients who come for our preventive cardiology clinic as well as for routine outpatients, at an exclusive price.
Appointments can be made at the Reception Counter.
Digital technology advances, not only in our daily life, but also in the field of medicine. Frontier Lifeline has introduced digital pacemakers produced by Vitatron,
a Netherlands-based company,
which has revolutionized the field of cardiology.
So far, we have implanted more than a dozen patients with digital pacemakers at Frontier Lifeline, of which six of them are dual chamber pacemakers. These pacemakers are being followed up meticulously in an international survey, in which Frontier Lifeline is one of the centres recognized worldwide, to contribute towards the DIRECT Registry.
Frontier Lifeline has introduced the state-of-the-art 3-D mapping system for arrhythmias. Earlier, drugs were the only choice of treatment for arrhythmias. With recent advances in the field of cardiology, and with the emergence of electrophysiology, any intractable arrhythmia can be accurately diagnosed and treated.
This novel system detects the exact location of any abnormal focus, and depicts the 3-dimensional electro-anatomic map of the heart. Furthermore, the procedure reduces the amount of exposure to harmful radiation to both the patient and the operating staff. Another added advantage of this system is that, conventional catheters that are routinely used can be employed along with this system.
Dr. K. M. Cherian's Frontier Lifeline hospital has X- ray and Nuclear Imaging facilities Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses safe, painless, cost-effectuve techniques both to image the body and treat diseases.
Nuclear imaging is unique in that it documents both organ function and morphology using a state-of-the-art Dual Head Gamma Camera.
Nuclear scan is extremely sensitive and provides accurate dynamic and quantitative information
The following are the different kind of scans performed at Frontier Lifeline Hospital.
A bone scan is a diagnostic imaging study which records the distribution of a radioactive tracer in the skeletal system. It is the most sensitive study available to detect any pathology of the skeleton, such as Primary Bone Lesions, Osteomyelitis, Sacroilitis, Avascular Necrosis, Stress Fractures and Metabolic Bone Diseases
Brain Perfusion SPECT with advanced NeuroGam Analysis helps to evaluate stroke, epilepsy and dementia
Renal scans are performed to evaluate renal function by assessing Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFT), tubular function and cortical morphology to study diseases such as Hydronephrosis, PUJ Stenosis, Renovascular Hypertension, Transplant evaluation, Pyelonephritis, Urinary tract infection and ureteric reflux.
Nuclear Scans help to diagnose Acute Cholecystitis, gall bladder dysfunction, cirrhosis, dysmotility, tumors, hemangiomas, GI bleeding, dysphagia, GE reflux, etc.
Giving an all-round care not only to the patients, Frontier Lifeline has made available facilities for patient attendants with a caring motto 'Catering to the needs of Patient Attendant's with:
The support services are exclusive and unique and showcase an entire spectrum of facilities such as the Nutrition & Dietetics Department with region-specific chefs to cater to international patients. Encompassing all the health avenues with great detail, the hospital has incorporated sensitive areas with Pastoral/Spiritual care and Medical Social Workers to take care of the mental and psychological needs of the patients. The Electronic Data Processing Department, the Medical Records Department and the Blood Bank round off a competent and capable in-depth structure of the hospital.
With a view to offering holistic healthcare, Frontier Lifeline offers the services of the healing and soothing Sanjeevanam Ayurvedic Center close by. Comfortable guest houses are available and lend a homely atmosphere, giving the attendants of the patients a calm ambience to relax in.
Since its inception, Frontier Lifeline has been providing free and subsidized cardiac screening and treatment to the economically underprivileged sector of our society. Our Social Services Department streamlines the process of granting financial concessions. The department evaluates patients who require or request for concessions in their treatment packages, both as outpatients and inpatients. These patients are not only those who walk in but also those referred from other Institutions and doctors.
We have a strong and recognized tradition in extending all our services to the poor and needy. We are active participants in several government motivated schemes for poor patients to perform complex cardiac surgery at concessional rates; namely the
'Idhayam Kaapom' project and
'Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme'
launched by the Tamilnadu Government. Children referred by the Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh Government also benefit from the quality cardiac care offered at concessional rates.
Our social service takes on an international flavor as we regularly offer concessions in the surgical charges of adults and children from other countries such as South American, Middle Eastern, African Countries etc.,
We would like to extend to you this opportunity to help the financially underprivileged children and adults, who are looking for donors and sponsors. They require your financial support to undergo life-saving procedures in order to resume a normal, happy and healthy lifestyle. So join us in our crusade to alleviate their suffering and put a smile back on their faces.
Individual counselling / Family Counselling is done for In-patients which involves one person (the counsellor) helping another person (the client) to work through some difficult or painful emotional, behavioural or relationship problem or difficulty during their treatment in the hospital.
Grief counseling - everyone experiences and expresses grief in their own way, often shaped by culture. One can expect a wide range of emotion and behavior associated with grief. Counseling may provide an avenue for healthy resolution. Grief counseling in frontier believes that grief is a process the goal of which is "resolution."
Ward Rounds - Bed to bed rounds bring closer to the patients, the relatives and the hospital staff. They enable the social worker to anticipate the problems related to their illness or disease that patients may have to face. Bedside counseling smoothens away many of the patient's / relatives' worries and fears before they assume overwhelming proportions.
Clinical Dietitians at Frontier Lifeline provide medical nutrition therapy services for in-patients and out-patients.

An inferno burnt three children to death in Ado village, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State early this morning.
NAN reports that the incident, which has thrown residents of the area into mourning, also razed a bungalow.
It was gathered that the fire started at about 6:30am but the cause of the fire could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.
However, an eyewitness, Mr Cambric Ayet, who lost property to the fire said;
"My wife was the first person who came out to see heavy smoke coming out of a neighbour's room and started shouting."
''On getting to the room, l noticed that it was locked and l thought my neighbour was cooking, locked the room and went out since there was no electricity throughout the night.
''It was when we were trying to break the door to have access to the room that we saw our neighbour, (the mother of the children) coming toward the house.
''As she saw people and the incident, she started shouting 'my children, my children'; that was when we got to know that three children were inside the room.''
Mr Sunday Ugwa, the father of the deceased children, gave their names as Chimobi, Chinonso, and Destiny.
He said he was confused when he got the news of the incident through a neighbour. Ugwa said;
''My wife explained that she went to buy a recharge card and she was not cooking before she went out; what then could be the source of the fire?
''My wife does not cook inside, our kitchen is outside; we don't use gas to cook because of the children, how come such fire,?'' he asked.
Commenting on the event upon his arrival at the scene, Mr Zaks Wambi, DSP, in charge of New Nyanya Police Station, Karu, described the incident as unfortunate.
Wambi, who condoled with the victims, advised members of the public to desist from using inferior gas cooking equipment.
''We have experienced series of such incidents resulting from keeping gas inside the kitchen to cook which is not proper,"

Lighting is one of the most budget-friendly, quickest ways to dress up a room — or the garage.
Don't discount the potential of this forgotten room or assume that it has to be cold and lifeless, nothing more than a cement block for parking the cars. In fact, the New York Times called the garage "the final frontier in home renovation."
While some homeowners with deep pockets are adding lifts for luxury cars (the lifts alone can cost as much as some cars), custom cabinetry or even heated floors, lighting can instantly transform a garage without the effort or expense required for many other upgrades. Appropriate, pleasing lighting can bring this space more in line with the amount of time homeowners actually spend in it. But choosing that lighting, whether for the interior or exterior of the garage, isn't always as easy as it sounds.
With so many garage lighting products today, it isn't necessary to settle for the single fluorescent bulb suspended from the ceiling that helps give so many garages a dungeonlike feel. Whatever the primary goal, from function and style to energy savings, here are some garage lighting ideas to consider.
Garage lighting ideas for max function
In general, rugged, lightweight, portable lights are a great fit for garages. But the type of lighting and ideal fixture depend on how — and how frequently — homeowners use their own space.
The garage offers more than a place to park the cars, and this space often doubles as a workshop for carpentry, car maintenance or other activities. Thoughtfully selected task lights, including under-cabinet light fixtures, make workbenches and other workspaces better suited for intensive or meticulous projects. On the other hand, recessed lighting can provide more comprehensive coverage, helping ensure homeowners never struggle to locate their tools, camping supplies or sports equipment.
Think beyond the light, too. Modern LEDs can sometimes incorporate other functions. For example, the Metalux Bluetooth shoplight includes wireless speakers with clear, balanced sound that can fill an entire workspace, so homeowners can listen to their favorite music or podcast while changing their oil or staining wood furniture.
Garage lighting ideas for elevated style
Most people want a garage that's organized and clean, and shabby lighting is one of the quickest ways to trash it. When the garage looks better, homeowners have increased incentive to spend more time there completing to-do lists or enjoying the hobbies they love.
Simple garage lights complement the clean lines of a modern home, and everyone can appreciate a sleek, low-profile design that gets the job done.
On the other hand, statement light fixtures are on trend, and the garage doesn't have to be any different. That's why some homeowners are adding vintage pendant lighting that invokes old mechanics' shops, or even chandeliers that give the space a touch of elegance.
Lighting is an easy way to shape the personality of a garage. Want rustic charm? Add gooseneck lights for barnlike appeal (Houzz). Or, add lantern-style lights on the exterior for a farmhouse look. Exterior garage lights can instantly boost any home's curb appeal. Lighting can also bridge two styles. For example, homeowners may want to showcase their classic car under modern, sleek lighting fixtures.
Garage lighting ideas for energy savings
Last but not least, energy efficiency is becoming more important to many homeowners. LEDs not only use far less energy than fluorescent or halogen lamps, but they're also rated for about 50,000 hours of life, eliminating the need to install or replace lamps on a regular basis. The Metalux Shoplight series features fully integrated LEDs that are ideal for almost any task or portable lighting application. The lights are great for garages as well as workshops, sheds and indoor utility rooms.

(CNN) – Welcome to CNN Radio News Day. Here are some of the stories we're covering in today's show:
"A recent poll from the Marist Institute of Public Opinion showed that 53% of voters in New York feel Weiner deserves a second chance."
" The biggest question is whether we can both come to some kind of agreement that we should stop doing this. I mean, what are the stakes now in all this mutual spying?"

Wiener is small fry. Real power is with jewish bankers. this is not left vs right, GOP vs Dems, Socialism vs liberty. This is war against White people.
Why do hostile globalist elite defend Israel as a Jewish ethnostate with Jewish only immigration, but ravage White majority Europe/North America into a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural Gulag with dystopian non-White colonization?
The world is 93% non-White, only 7% White. But 3rd world colonizers, Muslims, Sikhs, Hispanics, are aggressively advancing their agenda to annihilate gullible Whites, just as China annihilates Tibet.
How long will gullible Whites cuckold for murderous anti-White elite, who confiscate our guns, infiltrate/subvert our banks/FBI/CIA, indoctrinate White kids in academia/mass media, plunder White jobs/wages, & butcher White soldiers in bankrupting wars?
"Native" Americans invaded from East Asia. Yellow & Brown races committed 10-times more genocide, slavery, imperialism than Whites. Since Old-Testament, Whites have been victims of Jewish/Crypto-Jewish, Turkic, Muslim, N.African imperialism, slavery, genocide.
Gullible Whites should reject subversive ideologies- libertarianism, feminism, liberalism- & reject hostile slanders of racism. Peace to all humanity, but White people must organize to advance their interests, their fertility, their homelands. Spread this message.

Our client needed to relocate their entire production facility to a different state, as the existing facility was land-locked and did not allow them to expand their production capabilities.
Working with a design-build general contractor, POWER provided both preliminary and detailed final engineering services for this 41,595 square foot greenfield nutritional ingredient extraction facility. The completed processing plant is owned by a multi-national company that specializes in health and beauty nutritional supplements.
With the new building, the plant's layout and process flows have been greatly improved, new technologies have been incorporated allowing for higher concentrations of ingredient materials to be captured, and our client has been able to introduce new products to market. Additionally, the new location is in close proximity to a certified organic herb farm where raw product ingredients are grown for use in the nutritional ingredient extraction and concentration operation. The plant produces various herbal powders, which are loaded into drums and super-sacks, and then shipped to other facilities for final processing.
- Flexible and responsive. As additional project scope and plant functionality were added during the project, POWER provided flexibility in our design to accommodate the client's changes.
- Sanitary design technology. The client had not done a remote CIP skid before; POWER designed a semi-automated system to meet their needs. We also provided sanitary room design advice to the contractor.
- Onsite assistance. While providing extended onsite support, we were able to solve many minor issues and issue updated record P&ID's.
Project Features
- Greenfield plant was designed to allow for future expansion.
- The new facility incorporated a better plant layout and process flows
- Supply chain efficiencies have been realized as a result of new processing technologies
POWER's Services
- Project management
- Process design, including assistance with the CIP system design for all pipes and vessels
- Electrical engineering
- Controls engineering, including commissioning and startup, operator training and extended onsite support

Remember our previous article about Food With A Story? If not, click here. Deni and Carlin are now 19 days into their trip and they have finally made it out of the Western Cape. The couple have been from Paternoster through the Citrusdal/Cedarberg area, into the Great Karoo (Prince Albert), then Addo in the Eastern Cape and today they arrived in Port Elizabeth. According to an update from their website, it's all going well and in addition to some artisanal and organic producers, they are seeing some community food garden / feeding scheme projects tomorrow. They say that it is very exciting to be crossing over into the grassroots initiatives, and seeing the whole spectrum of food issues surfacing.
Over R25 000 raised
Food With A Story's fundraising closed last week, after managing to raise a total of over R25 000 (after deductions), thanks to their IndieGogo supporters, a generous donation from Trialogue (corporate social investment and sustainability consultants), and The Table at De Meye, in Stellenbosch. Click here to see the details and public supporters.
They have also been lucky to have free accommodation most of the way so far, from some very kind people:
- The Hebron
- Tierhoek wine farm
- Karoo Khaya
- African Relish
- Brett the Vet's vegan retreat (details coming soon)
- Rosedale Organic Farm
Keep watching www.foodwithastory.co.za for the stories about the people they meet and places that they see. Deni and Carlin have not been able to update that regularly because mostly they are busy finding the stories. Here are the links to the stories they have done so far:

Place pita wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 9 minutes or until crisp and browned.
Pierce skin side of eggplant several times with a fork. Place cut side down on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes or until eggplant is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove eggplant from baking sheet, and cool.
Scoop out pulp with a spoon, and place pulp in a food processor. Add tahini and remaining ingredients; process until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl once.

Cupid (Amor, Eros) is most often depicted as a winged figure armed with a bow and arrow. The term 'Cupid' should be interpret in a broad sense, as since the Renaissance cupid has been joined by chubby little boys, mostly without wings. Occasionally they are depicted together on prints.
Cupid (Cupido) is of course known for being the god of desire, erotic love, attraction and affection. He is often portrayed as the son of the love goddess Venus. Dutch Delft tiles depicting Cupid have already been admired objects, as Johannes Vermeer already painted them on the world famous painting 'Het melkmeisje', internationally known as 'The Milkmaid'.

Escorts regularly bat back and forth the benefits and disadvantages of committing to a permanent incall location or utilizing temporary ones for encounters. It's a personal decision that should be based on your current situation and number/types of clients. However, you should carefully review the pros and cons before making any rah judgments that may change how you do business regularly. Analyze your method of escorting prior to changing the process. Here are the top high and low points to incall situations: Continue reading

Deathmatch: An escort vs. a one-night stand
A lot of people scoff at the idea of calling an escort to fulfill any of their communicative, sexual or romantic needs. They argue that they don't have a problem finding a suitable partner to engage in intimacy with. But, in reality, a warm body to just have sex with is much different than hiring the services of an escort. Prospective clients claim that it's cheaper to go out and look for a one-night stand, forgetting that you get what you pay for. Continue reading

First of all, I think we can all agree that Primal food [1] is a solid foundation of taste, nutrition, satiety, density, and volume. When you put a piece of well-cooked grass-fed steak, free of sugary salty soybean oil-infused sauces and unnecessary breading in your mouth, you appreciate that this is how meat was meant to be. When you use fresh vegetables, kale that bites back and asparagus that snaps in your mouth and cooked carrots that manage to be both tender and crispy at once, you know the goodness of produce. And these fill you up, they nourish, they enrich your life. Still, though, we humans possess the ability to perceive and appreciate a nearly infinite range of flavors and textures. Hundreds (if not thousands) of cuisines and flavors beckon, and we should probably entertain their advances. If we don't, if we eat the same things all the time, we may run into food fatigue.
I'm probably a bad example of this, because I'm the type of guy who'd be pretty happy with just ten or so foods [2] for the rest of my life. Still, even I like to change things up now and again. And it seems I'm not alone. This edition of Dear Mark [3] is geared directly to you. Let's go:
I've been eating eggs for breakfast everyday for years now. Now don't get me wrong, I still love eggs, but sometimes I either don't have time to cook eggs before leaving for work or eggs just don't sound good. A little breakfast variety would be nice. Eggs seem like the perfect morning food (protein, fat, nutrients) but there's only so many fried eggs I can eat. Any ideas?
Thanks, Mark,
Eggs [4] truly are the perfect breakfast item. They feature high quality protein, animal fat [5], and, particularly if you have access to real pastured eggs, a micronutrient profile that puts nearly every other food to shame. Plus, eggs also provide a nice dose of cholesterol [6] and choline [7], two brain-boosting nutrients that you'll likely put to good use. Oh, sure, you could make the argument for liver [8] or oysters [9] as being more "nutrient-dense," but who wants to cook up a batch of beef liver every morning? Eggs are simple and easy.
But they're also boring, or so some people believe. Eggs are just eggs. You can scramble them, boil them, make omelets, or fry them, and not much else.
Yeah, eggs have become the quintessential breakfast food, which wouldn't be a problem if we hadn't backed ourselves into a corner with our preconceived notions of what constitutes breakfast. We need to expand our breakfast horizons. Breakfast needn't be dominated by over-easy or scrambled eggs seasoned solely with salt and pepper [10] and cooked in butter [11]. I love eggs like that – don't get me wrong – but some people need variety.
I would be loathe to suggest shifting your focus away from eggs for the aforementioned reasons. Instead, come up with some new variations of old favorites:
Hard-boiled eggs are handy and hardy, but the yolks can get a little chalky if you let them cook for even a half minute too long. If you're rushing about trying to get ready for the day, you're bound to make a mistake and overcook the eggs. The solution here, of course, is not to take up bagel eating or force IF [12] into your life. It's to try a soft-boiled egg. With a soft-boiled egg, the yolk stays creamy, velvety, runny and the white gets custardy. I cover cold eggs with an inch of water in a pot then bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Upon boiling, shut off the heat and cover the pot. After four minutes (three minutes if you're starting with room temperature eggs), dump the water. I prefer peeling the eggs under cool running water while they're still warm, but others say to plunge them in an ice bath. If you're strapped for time, the cool water is good enough. Lately, I've been dusting the eggs with black pepper (lots), sea salt, and turmeric [13]. Far superior to dry hard-boiled eggs (with less oxidation of the cholesterol to boot) and hard to mess up since, if you mess up and go over the time, you end up with pretty good hard-boiled eggs.
Other ideas?
- Scrambled eggs with salt [14], pepper [10], butter [11], and maybe even a bit of bacon [15] is a true classic, yes. I'll never turn down a plate. That said, you can easily transform a humdrum plate of scrambled eggs with the addition of a couple generous tablespoons of tomato paste about midway through the scrambling process.
- Turn a plate of sunny side up pastured eggs into a sweet and savory treat with a dusting of cinnamon [16] and some coconut oil [17].
- Or how about frittatas [18]? Have your ingredients prepped the night before, then, when you wake up, scramble the eggs, mix it all together, and dump them in the oven before you start getting ready. By the time you're dressed/caffeinated/presentable/etc., your egg-based breakfast will be ready.
- One of my favorites on a cold (for Malibu) winter morning is a couple cups of bone broth with two or three raw eggs dropped in and allowed to cook. The white will cook fast, since it disperses through the liquid, while the yolk will remain gooey unless pricked and allowed to run. Include a handful of bitter greens and you've got a quick, easy breakfast on your hands.
These variations are small and often require no additional prep time, but they really and truly pay off. The resulting dishes taste better, taste different, and are arguably more nutritious than their predecessors. You maintain the ease and nutrition of an egg breakfast without succumbing to monotony. Win win.
Also, don't limit yourself to the things I suggested. Look around for more suggestions from similar eaters [19]. The point is that eggs are culinary blank slates that happen to be delicious on their own. Feel free to toss in some berries, bacon, sausage, sweet potato [20], grilled onions, or whatever else strikes your fancy, because everything goes with eggs. I'm serious – name something and I bet it goes with eggs.
The strangest thing has happened to me recently. I am a huge proponent for the Primal lifestyle and eating strategy, but I've recently lost my craving for meat. I'm not completely disgusted by it, but I've lost my drive to eat it. What should I do? Listen to my body and not eat it, or try something else?
First of all, I don't think you should give up "meat." It's an essential part of the human diet, it's full of highly bioavailable micronutrients, and, well, it's just really, really good for you. However, I do think we tend to run the risk of forgetting that an animal is so much more than "meat." A pig is not just belly and loin. A cow is not just ribeye and burger. A chicken is not just breast and wing. There are so many incredibly diverse, delicious, and nutritious parts to an animal that we do ourselves a disservice by sticking to just "meat" – and we can easily find ourselves stuck in a food rut as a result.
So, you're going to want to diversify. Learn about all the odd cuts [21]. Start saving and buying bones and making stock. Learn to love liver. Consider the gristly bits, the parts that need a little more time in the crockpot or braising pan to get tender: the tails, the shanks, the knuckles. These "alternative" cuts will force your hand. You'll have to start cooking in different ways because you can't treat a lamb shank like a sirloin steak. It just won't work. You may also be eating too much meat, as in "lean meat." I prefer the fattier cuts over all else. I like ribeyes rather than filets, for example. I can eat an 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef burger with a bit of salt and pepper quite happily, whereas I'll need to dress up a 95/5 to make it palatable. There are certainly ways to dress up plain old lean meat (which usually involve adding some sort of fat or sauce), but you may just need to eat fattier cuts.
My husband and I realized the other day that we've been eating nearly the exact same rotation of meals for over a year now. We rarely eat out and we take turns cooking our meals. Over time we've hit upon things that are easy to make and that we like so we just keep going back to them over and over and over again. Do you think there's anything wrong with this? Should we add some variety. To be honest, it is getting a little boring. Any ideas on how to get out of our food rut are very much appreciated. Grok on!
There are theoretical benefits to a varied diet, which I've outlined before [22]:
- Access to a wider variety of micronutrients and phytochemicals. Think of all the various antioxidants associated with the greens, reds, yellows, purples, and oranges [23] in fruits and vegetables. Think of how vitamin and mineral content differs between foods.
- Dilution of food toxins. Food toxins usually operate in a dose-dependent manner, so keeping a variety would help keep the doses low and hormetic [24].
- Food enjoyment. Eating the same three things is a sure path to food boredom. Eating should come with a serving of sensory enjoyment.
Those are all valid reasons to eat a varied diet, and the last one – food enjoyment – seems to be affecting you. However, a "varied diet" doesn't necessarily mean eating South Indian one night, some obscure dish from the Thai highlands the next night, and haggis after that. It doesn't mean working crickets [25] into your regular diet, or camel milk [26], or never repeating the same meal in a month. It can mean all those things, but it doesn't have to. Grok [27] (and every other preindustrial culture) never had access to the amount of variety we currently enjoy, and he did okay for himself. As I mentioned earlier, I eat a pretty steady diet without constant wild excursions into other culinary realms, and I also do okay for myself on the micronutrient/phytochemical and toxin dilution front. Wild, adventurous, global variety a la Andrew Zimmern isn't required or even necessarily optimal, so don't get yourself down over that.
I don't want to sound self-serving with this next part, but emails like yours are the precise reason why I decided to co-write Primal Blueprint Healthy Sauces, Dressings & Toppings [28]. Because sometimes (most times), all you need to drastically change the character of a dish is a well-placed and poignantly-applied sauce. Sometimes the salt, pepper, olive oil [29], and vinegar [30] routine gets boring to the point of making you dread and avoid your greens, while a new dressing will upregulate your intake of healthful veggies. So, Talia, I'd say that you shouldn't stress out about food variety for variety's sake, but you should seek to enjoy your food. You shouldn't be miserable. You shouldn't feel bad. And if you're not keen on putting together an entirely new arsenal of dishes, learning a few dozen solid sauces, dressings, and toppings can keep your usual dishes feeling fresh without forcing you too far out of your comfort zone.
That's it for today, folks. I hope I helped some people out. If you've got anything to add about food variety and keeping meals interesting, be sure to leave your comments below!
