Bibliographic Citations
Contributor(s): José Cabezón, Steven Weinberger, David Germano, Nathaniel Grove, Alison Melnick, Michael Cox.
This page provides an overview of how to cite references in your essay and how to construct the Bibliography, as well as instructions for basic citations of a journal article and a monograph (book). An extensive list of instructions for other types of resources (article in a journal this is a special named issue; book that has an editor; book that is one volume in a series; and so forth) are found in the Extensive List of Bibliographic References. We suggest you print both that page and the current page for your easy reference.
Every academic essay cites its sources. These citations appear in footnotes/endnotes which specify the source of a quotation or data given in the essay and they appear in a bibliography at the end of the article pointing to sources relevant to the essay's subject matter. The present page describes how to prepare such bibliographic citations as they occur either in footnotes/endnotes or in a final bibliography. THL/JIATS follows bibliographic documentation according to The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, with a few modifications. One of the best ways to familiarize yourself with this style is to read work that has already been rendered in this style – for example, articles in previous issues of JIATS (see the current issue at http://www.jiats.org/).
All bibliographic citations in the essay must be in the footnotes/endnotes. In the body of the essay itself there is only the note number; the reference is in the note itself, as detailed below. So in the body of the essay/article it reads, for example:
- …as Kapstein argues.3
DO NOT use the convention of inserting in the essay itself a short-hand citation after the title of the book, such as
- …as Kapstein argues (Kapstein 2003: 145).
We ask that you prepare each bibliographical citation in the proper format using THL conventions, which follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. This document contains our standard citation formats for articles and books (for the formatting of a variety of other types of resources, such as an edited volume, see the Extensive List of Bibliographic References). In each case, we specify the way to format it both for a footnote/endnote and for an entry in the Bibliography. The first two sections – on books and journal articles – explain how to format individual parts of a citation (author, title, publisher, and so forth) and those instructions should be understood to apply to all of the other citation formats as well.
The first time a source is cited, provide in a footnote/endnote the full bibliographical citation (publisher, date, and so forth) as detailed below. For all subsequent references to that source, in the footnotes/endnotes use the abbreviated form of the citation as detailed below.
In addition, we ask that you provide a separate Bibliography section which lists in full form all sources that were cited in the footnotes/endnotes, as well as any additional sources you want to include in the Bibliography that were not cited in the footnotes/endnotes. This section should be sorted in alphabetical order according to the author's last name, as is the standard practice for compiling a bibliography, and it should follow the formatting guidelines detailed below. Please be sure that every source cited in a footnote/endnote is also in the Bibliography.
Please note:
- Do not italicize text titles, journal titles, and so forth. The italicization will occur after the document has been converted to XML format and it is displayed online.
- For all article titles cited in your essay, please add quotation marks around the title, since this will not happen automatically during the XML conversion process. Do NOT add quotation marks around article titles in the Glossary Table.
- In the Bibliography, for all Tibetan, Sanskrit, Mongolian, and Chinese titles, please include your English translation in square brackets [ ] following the title (see details below).
- We require authors to create entries in the Glossary Table for items in bibliographic citations (author, title, editor, and so forth).
Basic Format for Citations in Notes
At the first instance of a citation in a footnote/endnote, provide the full bibliographical reference.
First occurrence in a footnote/endnote:
- Jacob Dalton, "The Early Development of Padmasambhava Legend in Tibet: A Study of IOL Tib J 644 and Pelliot tibétain 307," Journal of the American Oriental Society 124, no. 4 (2004): 759.
- In the body of the essay and in footnotes/endnotes, do not italicize journal titles, text titles, and so forth. They will be italicized online by the web publishing system.
- For all article titles, please add quotation marks around the title in the essay and the Bibliography.
- For journal volume and issue numbers, always use arabic numbers; never use roman numerals.
First occurrence in a footnote/endnote:
- Per Sørensen, Tibetan Buddhist Historiography: The Mirror Illuminating the Royal Genealogies (Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 1994), 234-43.
- Do not use the format (Sørensen: 1994, 234-43) or Sørensen (1994): 234-43.
SUBSEQUENT REFERENCES to a Work: for all references to a work after the first reference, the format of the citation in the footnote/endnote is abbreviated: author last name, four- or five-word (or shorter) abbreviated title (do NOT begin the abbreviated title with "A," "The," or similar grammatical particles), page number.
- For Tibetan authors: this does not apply. Always use the full name since they do not have first and last names.
- For Chinese authors: for the abbreviated name, use the family name (this is the first word in a Chinese name, such as "Mao" in "Mao Zedong")
- Sørensen, Tibetan Buddhist Historiography, 35.
- Dalton, "Early Development," 761.
- do NOT use the convention of an abbreviated reference in the body of the essay itself, such as (Dalton: 2004, 761).
- do NOT use the abbreviations ibid., op. cit., or loc. cit. Always use the abbreviated reference format described immediately above.
Basic Format for the Bibliography
Entries in the Bibliography are arranged alphabetically, by author's last name. The formatting is different than that of citations in the notes (such as author's last name, first name; period rather than comma after article title; colon after date for journals; the inclusion of the pagination for the entire article).
- Journal article: Dalton, Jacob. "The Early Development of Padmasambhava Legend in Tibet: A Study of IOL Tib J 644 and Pelliot tibétain 307." Journal of the American Oriental Society 124, no. 4 (2004): 734-63.
- Monograph: Sørensen, Per. Tibetan Buddhist Historiography: The Mirror Illuminating the Royal Genealogies. Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 1994.
- Tibetan authors do not have a first and last name. So klong chen rab 'byams is alphabetized under the "k"s as klong chen rab 'byams. Do NOT capitalize any letters; the first letter of the first syllable will be capitalized by the stylesheets when the article/essay is displayed online.
- For Asian titles (Tibetan, Sanskrit, Chinese, Mongolian) add your English translation of the title in square brackets after the title. Example:
- klong chen rab 'byams. gnas lugs mdzod [The Treasury of Abiding Reality]. sde dge: sde dge par khang, 2003.
- For all article titles, please add quotation marks around the title. This will not happen automatically when styles are applied.
- For journal articles: when the page range immediately follows the volume or issue number, there is no space after the colon. Thus, if in the above example there was no year given, it would be:
- Dalton, Jacob. "The Early Development of Padmasambhava Legend in Tibet: A Study of IOL Tib J 644 and Pelliot tibétain 307." Journal of the American Oriental Society 124, no. 4:759-72.

This is Tex "Goodshot" Smith reporting after two solid weeks of summer basketball.
Going back to the beginning, I covered the Morris Ladies Shootout, and that dovetailed into the Braidwood Shootout that led into the Morris Shootout late last week. In that span, over the six days of coverage, I'd estimate having hit up the local hospitality rooms for three to five pounds of pork chops, gondolas, italian beef and pizza combined. It was all good and much appreciated.
I came away with the most extra material from the Morris girls tournament ,and that was partially due to having a new Redskins head coach and tournament director in Kate Carey. Both she and Minooka coach Ray Liberatore are looking optimistically at the future of their programs, despite combining for 14 wins last year.
Liberatore told me that his team specifically asked to play in the afternoon on the first day of the Ladies Shootout because his team was holding a camp earlier that morning.
"The main reason we asked for afternoon is because we have our junior high camp this week. Some of those things you go by what's available," Liberatore said. "Like (Tuesday), we had five of our girls at the camp working with the younger girls. So that's a great teaching experience for them."
Liberatore said that the turnout for the camp was better than expected.
"I'm excited for the future of the program. We had 45 girls, mainly seventh and eighth graders here this year," he said. "I've been working with the freshman girls because our head freshman coach is out of the country. I can tell you that our incoming freshman group is a nice group. It's been a lot of work so far, but there are a lot of good things happening."
Despite inheriting a team that won only six games last winter, Carey's team is once again young, but now a little more experienced.
"I think the confidence on a lot of their parts has improved. Julie (Jurasits) has come a long way as far as that she is not so hesitant to take shots and the lead. She's an upperclassmen and owning it. Her confidence seems to have skyrocketed," Carey said.
"Even Leona (Burton). She's no longer the little baby freshman on the varsity team. She's always been one to drive to the hoop but she is taking more outside shots now. Jess (Ponce) is a quiet attacker. She does a great job of attacking the basket and pushing the offense along. Both inside and outside, she's been a great shooter."
Burton, now a sophomore, says that the Redskins just want to distance themselves from the 2012-13 season altogether.
"We always want to put that behind us. We're not the same team that we were last year," Burton said. "We want to win as many games as we can and do better in our conference. Last year we were like 0-10 in the conference and this year we are hoping to be No. 1. We're always striving to be our best."
Which ultimately means that Carey needs to find a way to pull all the best characteristics of her team together.
"The best way to describe it is that we have all of these elements and right now we need to bring them in and put the complete package together. Right now its just elements. There is tons of potential with this group," Carey said.
"I just talked to them and we probably have as many skilled players as any team here. Jade (Fischer) had eight points today, so there is an alternative scorer if other teams shut down the other three. Jo (Nowicki) should also be a scorer for us. I see tons of great things. It's just a matter of putting it all together."

Photo by my lovely wife. She's awesome.
I'll be frank: getting to spend more time with my son this year has been the highlight of a rather shittastic 2011. The surprised and happy look he gives me when I come downstairs in the morning makes me feel like every day is The Dad Show. No drug can replicate that.
However, if someone were to create a drug capable of such a thing, they'd make a killing.
I won't make any bones about this, either: I'm a better dad than my own. Mine SUCKS. He's an ignorant, sexist, philandering Neanderthal. The best thing he did for me, other than donate DNA, was provide an apex example of what a dad shouldn't be. In some way, I should be thankful for that, but I'm hard pressed to give him credit for anything. Can you blame me?

Perfect autopilot for larger power and sailboats
Large LCD screen
Self-calibrating features increase performance
Contour steering maintains water depth
Smooth and precise turns
Autopilot System Includes:
• AP24 Control Head
• AC42 Course Computer with Simkit-1
• RC42 Rate Compass
• RF300 Rudder Feedback
• Complete set of Turn Patterns - including Depth Contour Tracking, programmable S-turn, Zigzag, Continuous turn, Square patterns, and many more.
• Improved steering algorithms - full Rate of Turn (ROT) control provides smooth and precise turns in any condition and improves tack and gybe performance on sailboats.
• No Drift Course - Maintain set Course over Ground even in severe wind and current conditions.
State of the art display and control functions and advanced SimNet networking, makes the all new AP24 the perfect autopilot for larger power and sail boats. The AP24 control unit features a large LCD display and operation via the brand new interface. This simple display and control setup gives you access to a raft of features and performance options.
Automatic Tuning
The AP24 include a number of self-calibrating features that automatically compensate for the unique handling characteristics of your boat and sea conditions, ensuring optimum performance without the need for expert manual calibration.
Contour Steering
This unique Simrad feature utilizes data from your fishfinder or depth instrument to maintain a set water depth, just as if you were manually steering your boat along depth contours on a paper chart. This leaves you free to concentrate on the big catch, enjoy the shoreline view, or trim your sail.
Advanced Wind Steering
The AWS feature provides unbeatable autopilot performance for any sailing vessel. AWS is ideal for single-handed sailing or racing. Utilizing wind and GPS data simultaneously, it is possible to hit long distance waypoints dead-on, without deviating from the original course line.
Rate Of Turn Control
The AP24 is equipped with advanced control algorithms that enable smooth and precise turns, regardless of sea conditions. This feature also improves tack and gybe performance on sailboats.
Data Pages
The AP24 includes a number of data pages where you can view autopilot parameters such as compass heading, set course, rudder position, as well as information received from other SimNet compatible equipment such as GPS navigation data and IS20 wind, depth, and speed data.
Multi-Station Operation
Expanded multi-station compatibility offers several control options, including use of the AP28 control unit. Any future autopilot control units will also work, thanks to the SimNet system.

I am writing to share my perspective on the rush by President Barack Obama and Gov. Martin O'Malley to enact more gun control legislation ("Gun control at front of O'Malley's legislative list," Jan. 19).
I feel that both are using the school shooting tragedies to further their political agendas. Background checks and gun show loopholes had nothing to do with the Sandy Hook, Conn., school shooting.
The gun that was used was owned by the perpetrator's mother, and he killed her with it. The president and governor want to limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds. This will not stop the murderous rampages by people wanting to commit heinous acts.
Many citizens have purchased high-quality firearms with standard 12- and 15-round magazines. The firearms were purchased legally for collections, shooting sports or self- protection. If legislation was passed to prevent possessing such magazines, many law-abiding citizens who have never been charged with a crime would be in violation of the law if they didn't surrender their magazines. That, in my opinion, would be the real crime.
Maryland requires a background check prior to the purchase of a handgun. I support this as I do not want to see guns in the hands of someone who is disqualified to possess a firearm. I can also support legislation for sales at gun shows. Maryland already requires that.
But Mr. O'Malley's idea of requiring people to be fingerprinted before they purchase a handgun is ridiculous. How does he think a fingerprint will prevent a straw purchase?
What would help is if we had the guts to send someone to jail for five years mandatory for completing a straw purchase. But we can't do that because we are too "civilized" and that would be "cruel" — just like the governor is too civilized to execute people convicted of murdering another human being.
Most of those murders were probably committed with a gun that the killer wasn't allowed to have, but we don't execute people for that. They didn't commit the murder; the "bad" gun did it.
So instead we prevent law-abiding citizens from legally buying and possessing handguns if they have magazines with more than10 rounds.
I would like to see the existing gun laws enforced more vigorously. If straw purchases are the problem, and the guns are being used in crimes, where are the prosecutions of those who purchase such weapons?
I'd also like to stop seeing the National Rifle Association being demonized because it lobbies for gun owners' rights. The NRA is made up of ordinary citizens who are as law-abiding as the people who oppose gun ownership.

Stock up!
Although $10 is only like £6.09 or something to you guys.
Did anyone get a button as well? Mine says Death. Last week I got a button that said Rage.
by 48THRiLLS » Wed Jul 15, 2009 5:28 pm
This is always my biggest complaint when we review DC books, a recap page would be nice... hell, I read em on the Marvel books that I follow.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:01 pmTypo on pg. 11. No such thing as a "naval cavity". I don't know much about Damage, I am assuming they meant nasal cavity?
by MrBlack » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:02 pm
He had a (belly) button nose.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:21 pm
Heh heh.
I was working on a navel joke too, but it just wasn't going anywhere.
Damage, he's the guy with the messed up face who got briefly healed in JSA by Gogmagog or something, right?
by guitargod694 » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:44 pm
The weird part is, they often do include a recap page in their trades. All of the Green Lantern trades have a "the story so far" page at the front. But yes, a recap page wouldn't be the worst thing for them to include.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:25 pmI give this book:
$7.50 or More!
Oh wait, that's how much I hope the black plastic ring will bring, after eBay fees.
That's better. Ivan Reis is top-notch. No complaints whatsoever about the art. This could be downright painful to read if it weren't rendered so clearly and lucidly.
I especially like how he does all the green energy stuff the Lanterns are always throwing around and his Flash was very kinetic, if that makes any sense. Like he can't stand still until the news hits him and he takes a seat.
I've read Rebirth, Sinestro Corps, and one graphic novel of early Johns GL I got in a lot of books. Oh year, and GL #43 on impulse so I've got a pretty good idea of what the deal is here, and also Wikipedia'd all the rainbow coalition stuff.
I've NEVER liked Hal Jordan ever ever EVER. And I don't have a favorite between Kyle, John and Guy. They are all ok, but I'm just not a GL fan at heart.
The story starts to get good after all the memorial stuff. I had the same reaction as Barry, WTF, why are they keeping all these bodies in the basement? That is pretty fucking morbid, body snatchers or no plus most of these folks had family too, I'm certain. Of course, I don't know who most of them are anyway. But CREEPY!
Hal blows out a hologram of a whole lot of dead folks. Hawkman is a total dick to The Atom. One of the space-OompaLoompas bites another one, sticks in his thumb and pulls out...well, it looks like a pear actually. The Black Rings raise the dead and hallelujah because I hate it when something like that takes until the last page of issue 1 to happen. I am also glad the risen dead don't act like real zombies and are cognizant and powered up. Then the Hawkpeople stuff. They kick. I hope when they are Black Lanterns they love each other again because I can't take any more of their back-and-forth over it any longer. I don't read that many DC comics and I feel that's all I ever see them do.
I dunno if I'll follow the rest, but I may as well. I've got 2 buttons and a plastic ring, maybe I can eBay the whole thing when it's over.
Better than I thought it would be!
by Kerny » Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:32 pm
Heh Predator.
The animal spirit thing that comes with it should be Chris Hansen.
by 48THRiLLS » Wed Jul 15, 2009 7:50 pmJust read it. Liked it. Review tomorrow.
Hawkman is the lamest character ever.
by Mr_Batman » Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:09 pmJust read this. Loved it. Review probably tomorrow.
I didn't even get a ring. I would have had to buy one, and I chose not to. I guess I should've........
by Starlord » Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:50 pmjust finished this and will review it tomorrow. Suffice to say, I really dug it. And I got a ring! Woo Hoo! My LCS dealer is a great guy! Always looking out for me.
by Garofani Spruzzo » Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:51 pm
No, no, I think you should go with the earrings.
by guitarsmashley » Wed Jul 15, 2009 9:53 pm
And it will fit your tiny skinny wang.
Also I loved how even though Hal is the Green Lantern this was not a Hal issue.
by Daringd » Thu Jul 16, 2009 12:38 am1. Blackest Night #1: Johns/Reis DC $3.99
FLESH! And so begins the epic Blackest Night event. It starts off slow then takes off. I could believe the amount of stuff packed into this issue. The story is so well done, Johns is playing around that's for sure. The art was fantastic Reis really set the bar high. The last 12 pages are just spectacular, especially the Sue and Ralph stuff. From start to finish this is what it was built to be. The first issue has lived up to the hype. Could not be happier with the first issue, can't wait to get more.
Oh and one more thing poor Hawkman and Hawkgirl.
And I'm wearing my Black Lantern ring right now

Entering an Addition in the REScheck Software
There are three approaches to make an addition comply with the energy code:
- The addition as defined above meets all code requirements. This approach does not require that the original portion of the building meet code requirements.
- If the building combined with the addition complies with the code, the addition will also comply, regardless of whether the addition complies alone. For example, a sunroom that does not comply with the code is added to a house. If the entire house (with the sunroom) complies, the addition also complies.
- In the 2000 and 2003 International Energy Conservation Code, additions less than 500ft2 (46.5m2) of conditioned floor area may meet the prescriptive envelope requirements in the table. To use the table, the total area of windows, doors, and skylights cannot exceed 40% of the gross wall and roof area of the addition.
This document describes how to use REScheck™ to comply with approach #1.

The Awesome Snow!
I love the snow. It is so shiny. It sparkles in the sunlight.
I woke up in the morning and there was snow everywhere. I wanted to play in the snow but be could not because we had to get to school. Tucker my dog hops in the snow.
This morning when my mom took Tucker out he hopped around. The morning snow reminded me of the time I made a snow fort and it was huge!
That year we got a lot of snow. My neighbors came over for a snowball fight, and we won! It was a fun day! It took weeks to make our snow fort.
I love the snow!
A magical place
Once upon a time in the arctic, there was a place, not just any place, a magical place. It was Santa's home and the elves too.
It had big machines and it had a lot of presents. It was huge! All the elves were busy. Some were sewing clothes and some were making toys. Some were making puzzles and some were making books.
It was a happy family until Santa got sick! Christmas was only 3 days away. The elves tried every kind of medicine. It didn't work. The only thing to cure it was two cookies.
Finally an elf had an idea. All the elves went to the center of the village. The elf told the other elves his idea. We will make cookies! So all the elves got to work. Some made chocolate chip. That did not work. Some made ginger cookies. That did not work. Some made pumpkin cookies. That did not work. Finally the last elf made a sugar cookie. It worked!
Santa was not sick anymore! It was Christmas night! Santa got his sack of toys and off he went.

I have a snowball fight with my neighbors. They're both boys. It is Kulas vs. Pelletiers. We each made forts, we also made windows. We had to make a lot of snowballs so we could start the snowball fight.
Sometimes we sneaked out of the forts and hid. I covered myself with snow. They always stepped on me. We made snow hills. Once we got hit, we hit the ground. We can't hit them above the head. When we finished we'd go inside. My mom makes hot chocolate and wipes our faces off.
The Christmas Mouse
There was a mouse who lived in a hole in a house with the Roxanne family. Last fall the Roxannes moved in all the way from Florida to this house in Massachusetts. They had three children; a thirteen year old daughter, and seven year old twins. And they had a cat called Chester. Chester liked his mice-diet he used to have. But luckily, he never found the hole in this house.
First the mouse was scared, and he didn't come out. Sometime when the kids left crumbs on the floor, the crumbs disappeared in the next morning. The mouse ate the crumbs off the floor, so the family never needed a vacuum cleaner!
When the mouse first saw the lights blinking on a tree in the house, he thought, 'Yikes, the house is turning into a forest!" There were lots of shiny boxes under the tree — long ones, thin ones, fat ones, small ones ...
Then he remembered, yesterday Mrs. Roxanne telling the kids, "You better be good, or Santa will not give any present!" The mouse was excited, and wanted to see what was inside the big golden box. But there was Chester! He was right beside the couch. The mouse went the other way. Chester went the other side of the couch, but the mouse was already back in his hole. The mouse's heart was beating a bongo drum solo. Then he remembered what Mrs. Roxanne said, and he got his little hole tidy.
That night, he saw lots of extra food, heard lots of extra noise and unfamiliar voices. After a long a time, he heard car engines — vroom ---vroom --- vroom --- .
Next morning, the sound of tearing wrappers, laughs, screams of 'oohs' and 'wows' woke him up. The cat got a pair of blue mice. The twins got two helicopters that were hovering around. The mouse drooped to the pile of crumbs, and sat down beside it.
So there was no present for him. And this mouse never gets a Christmas present.
Then he heard, "What is this?" The twins were fighting over a small gold thing. One said, "It's just a tiny piece of plastic!" The other said, "Let's throw it out!" Then one of them threw it behind the couch. It landed in front of the hole, and the mouse was startled. He took a glance; he saw a tiny box with gold swirls and designs, and one curly designed ribbon that was silver. He started gnawing on the string, then the wrapper. He opened the lid of the box: it was a book and a small light! The book said, "Mouse Tales." He squeaked in joy! That night the mouse stayed up and learned to read.
The Happy Christmas Day
Once upon a time there was a reindeer named Rudolph and his friend the Grinch. They liked to play in the snow. They liked to eat candy apples and drink hot cocoa with marshmallows.
The Grinch did not want to steel Christmas. He wanted to help Santa deliver presents.
Santa tripped over a candy cane and sprained his ankle so, the Grinch and Rudolph had to take his place and deliver presents to kids all over the world. The Grinch and Rudolph had lots of fun!
A Bad Snow Day
One day Katie woke up. She looked out the window. She saw that it snowed. She smiled a big toothy grin. Still in her pajamas, she ran down the hall to her sister's room. She was still sleeping so she yelled into her ear, "Wake up Sophie!"
Then she woke up. She looked like a zombie in a fight with a vampire. I could tell she was so mad, so I just told her about the snow and left. Then she went back to sleep and snored.
So Katie went down stairs to make herself some breakfast. Then she noticed her gramma sitting at the kitchen table.
Her gramma looked puzzled. She said, "What are you doing?" She didn't answer.
Five minutes later, she said 'I'm thinking about your grandpa." She'd loved the way grandpa said the word marshmallows, but he was dead now.
So before anyone else came down to the kitchen, we got dressed and gramma took me out to the graveyard.
We got flowers from our house and put it next to the grave. Gramma took me back home through the woods.
Then everybody woke up. Sophie still looked mad. It was Thanksgiving. Then Mom and Dad and Sophie had breakfast. They all looked weird so I went back to my room. I wrote in my diary.
Could Gramma be dying? I thought. A tear rolled down my cheek. I went downstairs. Gramma took me into the living room. She paused for a moment. Then she said, "You know how much I love you! I'm going to show you before I die." Then she opened her arms as wide as she could. Then she said, "And much more!"
When she did die, Katie went to the graveyard and picked flowers for her.

April 4, 2013 Adoption Support Group Meeting

Hudson Valley Adoption Support Group

Hudson Valley Adoption Support
Peer to Peer Support Group for Adult Adoptees, Birth Mothers & Families
Are you a local Hudson valley Adult Adoptee wondering how to start an adoption search? Have you hit a snag regarding New York States sealed original birth certificate laws? Are you a birthmother wondering about your relinquished child? Or maybe a birth father or sibling trying to navigate a post adoption reunion relationship? Or how about just being able to sit with a group of people who understand exactly what you mean without having to go into details or make disclaimers. This is why we need a local face to face adoption support group in the Hudson Valley!
Adoption Can Be Very Isolating
Before the internet I lived over 14 years without having known that I had ever spoken to another women who had also relinquished a child to adoption. The first thing I ever Googled was "adoption". Since becoming involved in the online adoption support community, I have had the opportunity to met many more birthmothers and adoptees who also live in the local Hudson Valley area. As I say, I tend to collect adoptees and birth families. The problem is, many people as me for advice or for local post adoption support, and we really do not have too many services for adult adoptees and birth parents in the area. While there is more collective education for adoptive parents, the closest peer support for adult adoptees and mothers who relinquished is Westchester, Albany and New York City. It's just a simple fact that needs to change and so therefore, I say, let's change that.
Provide Adoption Support and Understanding Among Ourselves
By basing our local Hudson Valley Adoption Support group off of well established and successful self run groups, we keep it simple and can easily provide acknowledgment, acceptance and understanding for others adoption affected. Like
Genesee Valley
, we meet monthly at a relaxed local establishment to talk adoption. Topics can range from search advice, to emotional implications, reunion, understanding the impacts of adoption, and everything in between. Basically, the group will exist to govern itself and provide what the group itself needs.
Magic Happens when Adoption Folks Come Together
I can tell you this; if you are at all affected by adoption and you never thought to attend a function with an adoption specific group of people, then you are doing yourself a disservice. I now it can feel scary or even like admitting that something that you don't want to affect your life, is actually causing an action, but for so many, it is like coming home. The people I have met during my personal adoption journey have been some of the greatest folks I have ever had the pleasure to met. And then, there is the ability to talk freely among ourselves; to not have to explain everything, to add disclaimers, to fend off uneducated comments. Plus, the amazing knowledge that you are not alone in your feelings; that you are normal and other people feel the same way. I personally won't pretend to have all the answers but I sure can organize and produce a safe place for people to come together with questions for understanding and support. Please join us!
Meet Other Local Hudson Valley Folks with a Common Bond
We meet once a month in a central area that works for all attending. It's really simple to get started; just fill out the form for the mailing list attached to the link below. The information you choose to share shall never be released anywhere for any reason
. It is exclusively for the purposes of understanding how this group can benefit you the most. Fill in as much as you want in the ways it best makes sense for your personal experience. The check boxes allow multiply options for situations where an adoptee is also a birth parents or you are in reunion with one parent or child, but searching for another, etc.
Join the Hudson Valley Adoption Support Group NOW; click here!
Meeting Date:
Thursday April 4th, 2013; 7:00 pm; location to be announced. For more information and questions;

8 Chinese athletes caught doping ahead of games
BEIJING (AP) — China's anti-doping agency says eight athletes have been caught using performance-enhancing drugs in the run-up to the country's key national sports competition.
The athletes represented a variety of sports and were split evenly between men and women. They included one caught via the biological passport program that monitors an athlete's blood profile over time to detect signs of doping.
The new cases detected in the second quarter of the year bring the 2013 total to 12, equal to the number of doping cases found in the whole of last year.
The official Xinhua News Agency quoted China Anti-Doping Agency chief He Zhenwen as saying the large number of second-quarter cases was likely a result of the coming of the prestigious national games that kick off Aug. 31.
"There always will be someone who risks doping for unfair advantage when the return is lucrative," He was quoted as saying. "History taught us that the national games could well be the reason for cheating."
The competition is held once every four years and winning performers can reap rewards from provincial, city or army teams even more valuable than those offered in international competition.
Standout performers also have a greater chance of making it onto national teams, further increasing the inducement for athletes and coaches to seek unfair advantage. China struggled with rampant doping in the 1990s, but turned a corner with the 2000 Sydney Olympics and in recent years has largely eliminated the problem at the international level.

Ive built a pnuemag frame, ego frame with electro/pnuematic set-up, i have a tank that is outputting 850 psi, and the gun barely shoots, its like its starved for pressure, but an 850 psi tank with the valve cranked up should shoot a little harder that 145 fps. this happened with both the classic and X-valve. I have always been a cocker guy when it comes to the older markers, so when it comes to mags, im going to need some help here.

I am riding with the Pyro Pro which has a zipper across the front of your chest. It is nice and comfortable and I cannot imagine how anyone could scratch their face on the zipper.
Having said that, it is not really much nicer than the standard Pyro which has the zipper on the back ..so it may not be worth the extra money if you are on a budget. In fact a lot of people like the Pyro lite around here which is their least expensive drysuit. It's up to you.

Ratings for Dr. Steven Abelowitz
We selected Dr. Abelowitz as our son's pediatrician based on excellent online reviews and great feedback from pediatric nurses at Hoag Hospital. But everytime a different dr. sees you. The reason is that Dr. Abelowitz is usually busy which is a code for Dr. Abelowitz will likely not see your kid, it will be a different Dr. Also, if you go to his clinic, you will see that it is a commercial establishment - lots of parents, full of kids and everytime you will likely get a different Dr. unless you ask for the same one except Dr. Abelowtiz himself. So if you want a clinic where you get in and you get out, on time and someone sees you and it does not matter who the dr. is, THIS IS THE PLACE. However, if you want personalized attention, one on one interaction, a more intimate feel where your call is given importance to and not treated like any patient call - then THIS IS NOT THE PLACE. Again, I am not saying that they are bad Dr., just that their way of treating patients is such.
Great person & Wonderful Doctor, He is the doctor for both my boys & my younger one had a heart defect and needed a surgery and in the process we had to see Dr Abelowitz soo many times, He is such a nice person & very knowledgable & on top of everything realted to children.He pnly sent us the BEST doctors when my son needed to see the pediatric specialities my son needed. He is so caring. The nurses are great. Whole staff looks like they love what they do..I am soo GLAD we found him...
CONCERNS WE HAD PRIOR TO MEETING THIS MD RESOLVED AFTER INTERVIEW. The negative comments posted made us uneasy about Coastal Kids BUT we decided to meet with Dr. Abelowitz because he was highly recommended by our OB, Lactation Consultant, family members & friends. There are 2 waiting rooms- well room & sick room, the office is clean, the office staff is friendly & Dr. Abelowitz is very professional & an excellent listener. We discussed the concerns that past patients posted online & he received the comments well & addressed each of the concerns eloquently. Dr. Abelowitz is kind, patient & addressed all our questions. Vaccinations are a big topic for us & Dr. Abelowitz is flexible about doing these at intervals vs. all at once. Dr. Abelowitz's medical practice has other excellent MD's on staff who are available after hours. The office philosophy for patient care is based on medical research & American Pediatrics Assn. We feel confident about our decision to have selected Coastal Kids.
Dr. Abelowitz has been great to work with. As a new mom, I come in with a list of questions and Dr. Abelowitz takes the time to answer every one of them and puts me at ease as you explains his answers to me. I opted to spread out my son's vaccinations and Dr. Abelowitz was supportive with my decision and we agreed on an alternative schedule I am very pleased with. I am very happy with our decision to have Dr. Abelowitz at Coastal Kids to be our provider to our little one.
Excellent. His bedside manner is excellent, he knows A TON about issues both big and small and because we have 3 children and a range of issues to handle (ages newborn - 4 years) we've benefitted from his knowledge extensively. He also runs on time!
I am a mother of three children. We have been under the care of Dr. Abelowitz since our oldest was born 6 years ago. He knowledge, professionalism, and care towards our children has been outstanding. We had a bit of a scare with our middle child during her first year in life and Dr. Abelowitz was very proactive and made us feel at ease during this time. We feel that our children are in the best hands when it comes to dealing with their health. His staff is also very warm and friendly and we are always greeted by name when we go into the office.
Pregnant with my second child, I interviewed several doctors after having lost our first child to SIDS at 5 months with another peditrician who never even called with concern about our loss. Dr. Abelowitz by far was the most caring, professioanl and knowledgeable doctor that I could find. He has been our peditrician now for 10 years and both he and his staff have always been extremely helpful and responsive whenever we needed any assistance. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Abelowitz and Coastal Kid for their great service to the children of our community!
Dr Abelowitz has been the pediatrician for my 2 children since 1998. I want to say that Dr Abelowitz and his entire staff have been the most caring and professional team that I could have ever hoped for. If my children are sick or need anything, Dr Abelowitz will see them no matter what. In fact, he often calls after hours to ensure that they are doing okay. My children have had many issues over the years and I have been extremely happy with Dr Abelowitz's medical services. He truly cares for my family and I'm extremely grateful that he has been there for us. Sincerely, Candace Dandeneau
Dr. Abelowitz seems to be another doctor whom has a huge ego and God complex. He seems to have a very good disposition until you ask a question or have the desire to have input on your children's care. His demeaning and threatening behavior towards my wife and I was both unprofessional and quite frankly very disturbing. My wife and I interviewed Dr. Abelowitz before our twin boys were born. Our largest concern was the vaccine schedule and he reassured us that he would work with our wishes. At the 6mo WELLNESS visit Dr. Abelowitz became so upset, that we wanted to delay the vaccines he threatened us and told us we were being unfit parents and he would no longer see our children. Did he ask if I was a micro-biologist with a Doctorate degree from MIT? No! Instead he insisted we had no idea the danger we were putting our children and others at risk… In my opinion, Doctors with this attitude are very dangerous and I would think twice before having Dr. Abelowitz see my children.
Dr Abelowitz and the Coastal Kids practice have been wonderful and everything that I had wanted for the care of my son. I interviewed Dr. Abelowitz prior to the birth of my son & chose him and his practice above the 5 other practices. Dr. Abelowitz made sure that my son was seen in the hospital after birth which was important to us. My son recently contracted the swine flu and the care he received was fantastic. We went from a frighening situation to one that was manageable as my son quicky recovered with the treatment and oversight he received. I chose this practice for numerous reasons-compassionate care, knowledge, expertise, bedside manner, clean facilities, ability to be seen in emergency illness situations on the same day, weekend availability, help line, etc. As another rater stated, I trust the life of my child with this doctor and the drs at the Coastal Kids practice. My son loves Dr. Abelowitz along with nurse Anna---the fastest vaccine shot giver in OC. Thanks Dr. A

The best hotels in Spain: pick of the paradores
When it comes to accommodation, paradores are in a class of their own and undoubtedly among the best hotels in Spain. Converted from castles, monasteries and ot…
The development of the Mezquita paralleled the new heights of confidence and splendour of ninth- and tenth-century Córdoba. Abd ar-Rahman III provided it with a new minaret (which has not survived but which provided the core for the later belfry), 80m high, topped by three pomegranate-shaped spheres, two of silver and one of gold and each weighing a tonne. But it was his son, al-Hakam II (961–76), to whom he passed on a peaceful and stable empire, who was responsible for the most brilliant expansion. He virtually doubled its extent, demolishing the south wall to add fourteen extra rows of columns, and employed Byzantine craftsmen to construct a new mihrab, or prayer niche; this remains complete and is perhaps the most beautiful example of all Moorish religious architecture.
Al-Hakam had extended the mosque as far to the south as was possible. The final enlargement of the building, under the chamberlain-usurper al-Mansur (977–1002), involved adding seven rows of columns to the whole east side. This spoiled the symmetry of the mosque, depriving the mihrab of its central position, but Arab historians observed that it meant there were now "as many bays as there are days of the year". They also delighted in describing the rich interior, with its 1293 marble columns, 280 chandeliers and 1445 lamps. Hanging inverted among the lamps were the bells of the pilgrimage cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Al-Mansur made his Christian captives carry them on their shoulders from Galicia – a process that was to be observed in reverse after Córdoba was captured by Fernando el Santo (the Saint) in 1236.
As in Moorish times, the Mezquita is approached through the Patio de los Naranjos, a classic Islamic ablutions court that preserves its orange trees, although the fountains for ritual purification before prayer are now purely decorative. Originally, when in use for the Friday prayers, all nineteen naves of the mosque were open to this court, allowing the rows of interior columns to appear an extension of the trees with brilliant shafts of sunlight filtering through. Today, all but one of the entrance gates is locked and sealed, and the mood of the building has been distorted from the open and vigorous simplicity of the mosque to the mysterious half-light of a cathedral.
Nonetheless, a first glimpse inside the Mezquita is immensely exciting. "So near the desert in its tentlike forest of supporting pillars," Jan Morris found it, "so faithful to Mahomet's tenets of cleanliness, abstinence and regularity." The mass of supporting pillars was, in fact, an early and sophisticated innovation to gain height. The original architect had at his disposal columns from the old Visigothic cathedral and from numerous Roman buildings; they could bear great weight but were not tall enough, even when arched, to reach the intended height of the ceiling. His solution (which may have been inspired by Roman aqueduct designs) was to place a second row of square columns on the apex of the lower ones, serving as a base for the semicircular arches that support the roof. For extra strength and stability (and perhaps also deliberately to echo the shape of a date palm, much revered by the early Spanish Arabs), the architect introduced another, horseshoe-shaped arch above the lower pillars. A second and purely aesthetic innovation was to alternate brick and stone in the arches, creating the red-and-white-striped pattern that gives a unity and distinctive character to the whole design.
The uniformity was broken only at the culminating point of the mosque – the domed cluster of pillars surrounding the sacred mihrab, erected under al-Hakam II. The mihrab has two functions in Islamic worship: it indicates the direction of Mecca (and hence of prayer) and it amplifies the words of the imam, or prayer leader. At Córdoba, it is also of supreme beauty.
The inner vestibule of the niche (frustratingly fenced off) is quite simple in comparison, with a shell-shaped ceiling carved from a single block of marble. The chambers to either side – decorated with exquisite Byzantine mosaics of gold, rust red, turquoise and green – constitute the maksura, where the caliph and his retinue would pray.
Originally, the whole design of the mosque would have directed worshippers naturally towards the mihrab. Today, though, you almost stumble upon it, for in the centre of the mosque squats a Renaissance cathedral coro. This was built in 1523 – nearly three centuries of enlightened restraint after the Reconquest – and in spite of fierce opposition from the town council. The erection of a coro and capilla mayor, however, had long been the "Christianizing" dream of the cathedral chapter and at last they had found a monarch – predictably Carlos V – who was willing to sanction the work. Carlos, to his credit, realized the mistake (though it did not stop him from destroying parts of the Alhambra and Seville's Alcázar); on seeing the work completed, he told the chapter, "You have built what you or others might have built anywhere, but you have destroyed something that was unique in the world." To the left of the coro stands an earlier and happier Christian addition – the Mudéjar Capilla de Villaviciosa, built by Moorish craftsmen in 1371 (and now partly sealed up). Beside it are the dome and pillars of the earlier mihrab, constructed under Abd ar-Rahman II.
The belfry, the Torre del Alminar (currently closed), at the corner of the Patio de los Naranjos, is contemporary with the cathedral addition. Close by, the Puerta del Perdón, the main entrance to the patio, was rebuilt in Moorish style in 1377. It's worth making a tour of the Mezquita's outer walls before leaving; parts of the original "caliphal" decoration surrounding the portals (in particular, some exquisite lattice work) are stunning.

The Limited Edition G6137TCB Panther Center-Block features a beautiful 1 ¾"-deep double-cutaway three-ply maple body with a 16" lower bout, arched top and back and elegant f holes. Available in our "Flagstaff Sunset" stain.
The centerpiece of the model is a long spruce center block. The center block runs the entire length of the body and imparts several sonic advantages. First, it minimizes body-resonant feedback and creates a more "high gain-friendly" performance. Second, it's made of spruce, which produces a spirited, lively tone. Third, the center block itself is chambered at the lower bout to minimize weight. Fourth, the pinned wood bridge base extends over the sides of the center block about 5/8" on either side, transferring string-vibration energy to the two f-hole-vented body chambers to produce a full-bodied tone.
Other premium features include a three-piece maple neck, 12"-radius bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid Neo-Classic™ "thumbnail" inlays, single-ply bound headstock with pearloid Gretsch logo, and dual High Sensitive Filter'Tron™ pickups. The guitar also has a top-mounted output jack, "G" arrow control knobs and chrome hardware, an Adjusto-Matic™ bridge with pinned rosewood base and Bigsby® B6C tailpiece, Grover® Sta-Tite™ tuners and Schaller® strap locks. Deluxe hard-shell case included.

A couple of days before the fact, Tim Jackman received a vague heads-up.
"I remember going out for dinner with him in Chicago," says Jackman. "There might have been six or eight of us. He picked up the tab. He's like, 'This might be the last supper I can buy for you guys.' He didn't know where he was going . . . but he knew he was on the move."
Chris Butler, on the afternoon of the development, got the earliest concrete indicator.
"I'm normally one of the first guys to get to the rink," says Butler, "so when I come in here, all the jerseys are hung perfectly in the guys' stalls. I came in (that day) and one or two (stalls) down from me, there wasn't a jersey hanging there. It was an obvious omission. I just remember thinking, 'Oh oh — some thing's happened.' It was a weird situation coming to the rink and not seeing him . . . the face of the franchise forever.
"But we knew the wheels were in motion for change. We all saw the writing on the wall. We all saw it coming."
Which was decidedly not the case for Ben Hanowski and Kenny Agostino, a pair of blindsided college students.
Their pivotal roles in the Jarome Iginla drama — one year ago now — had been unknown until the morning after the announcement.
On the brink of NCAA post-season runs — Hanowski with St. Cloud (Minn.) State, Agostino with Yale — the prospects, before hitting the hay, learned of big news in the hockey world.
That the Calgary Flames had parted ways with their longtime captain.
Details, however, were fuzzy.
"It was looking like he was going to Boston and I thought, 'That's kind of cool,' " says Agostino, who had been in Grand Rapids, Mich., site of the regionals. "I woke up to go the bathroom around 6:30, 7 a.m., and I look at my phone. It's been bombarded with 20 missed calls, 50 texts. I look at the first few texts and, all of a sudden, I put it together. I'm, like, 'Oh my God.' I woke my roommate up because I was frantic — 'I just got traded for Jarome Iginla.' "
Hanowski's tale is not much different.
He'd been in his apartment preparing for a busy stretch — morning practice, then a flight to Toledo, Ohio, for regionals.
"My phone was blowing up," says Hanowski. "It took me a while to comprehend what was going on. I had to go on NHL.com to see that it was really happening. I thought my buddies were trying pull a prank on me. But it was for real. An interesting way to wake up.
"At the rink, we're having our team meeting and our head coach (Bob Motzko) goes: 'Anyone else get traded for a Hall of Famer last night?' "
March 27 — or March 28, depending on your perspective (and time zone) — marks the first anniversary of Iginla's emotional exit (to the Pittsburgh Penguins, as it turned out).
"Such a big day, such a unique day," says Hanowski, "that I forgot the actual date. A pretty weird feeling because you're a college hockey player, more a fan of the game at that point. So to see you're part of that trade? Almost seems like a fictional story."
Hanowski arrived in Calgary at the tail-end of last season.
Agostino, meanwhile, signed little more than a week ago.
The blank in the swap's equation? The Flames filled that by choosing local lad Morgan Klimchuk with the Pens' first-round holler.
Iginla, of course, has since transferred his championship hopes to Boston.
Since No. 12's departure, the Flames are 37-45-7, not including Wednesday.
"Time's really gone by pretty fast," says Hanowski, who started this campaign with Abbotsford of the American Hockey League. "Seems like yesterday I was playing my first games up here. A fast year for me."
Fast, in many ways, for the Flames, too.
After Iginla moved, there were more practices, more opponents. Despite the magnitude of the moment, nothing changes.
"That is the beauty of our sport, especially with playing so many games," says Butler. "If a trade happens or you have a bad game, you typically have no time to even think about it or dwell on it, which is great. You get back into your routine and things go back to the way they were before."

Get into enclosures
Housing for control and automation devices and networks is evolving right along with the devices they contain, so it's even more important now to choose the appropriate enclosure for your application. Here's how.
By Jim Montague, Executive Editor
Many people in control and automation field have a pretty snooty attitude about enclosures. Oh sure, they just sit there, but it would probably be smart to be less dismissive about hardware that protects so many critical components and, consequently, covers so many engineers' metaphorical rear ends.
Of course, it may have seemed like enclosures were on their way to Commodity Land recently. More control devices and their networks are over-molded and encapsulated to the point that they claim to no longer need enclosures. Flash memory that doesn't need a protected housing is replacing hard-drives that traditionally require enclosures. And more transceivers, PLCs and similar components are using twisted-pair fieldbuses, Ethernet and even wireless, so less cabling, cabinets and other support hardware is needed.
However, as computing power continues to shrink and be distributed further into the field, many process control users are finding they need more, smaller and more specialized housing for protection against overheating, electromagnetic interference (EMF), reduction of hazardous substance (RoHS) compliance and to meet other multiplying needs. So, far from becoming passe, enclosures probably are diversifying more now than at any point in their collective history. For example, to allow increased customization of its plastic and aluminum enclosures, Fibox recently added a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining system for milling, engraving, cutting and embossing. This enables faster turnaround on modifications, including threaded and unthreaded holes, and panel, door, side and window cutouts. This new CAM machining system can customize any of Fibox's more than 750 standard enclosures. Also, a graphics converter built into the new CAM system's software makes it easy to accept files from computer-aided design (CAD) programs and convert them to the proper machining instructions.
ProEquipment Co. uses a variety of Hoffman's Concept Enclosures to protect the computers, starters, contact relays, and other controls in its Pro Car Wash systems.
No longer confined to the plant floor, some enclosures are being successfully deployed in unconventional settings. For example, to prevent unexpected equipment failures and downtime, Pro Equipment Co. in Benton, Ky., uses Concept enclosures from Hoffman to protect its Pro Car Wash systems' computers, PLCs, starters, contact relays and other controls in wet and dry settings (See Figure 1). The OEM uses more than 2,000 types of cabinets in the automatic and self-serve car washes its sells worldwide. Pro Equipment's PLC controls every automatic wash function.
"In one equipment room, a water line burst and sprayed water directly on the Concept box housing the PLC," says Randy Travis, Pro Equipment's owner and president. "We had one foot of standing water in the room, but our PLC was safe, dry and protected. Though car washes store many spare parts, it's too expensive to keep a $12,000 backup computer, so the enclosure is critical to car wash operations."
In addition, Austrian Federal Railways uses Rittal's enclosures and racks in its multi-system Siemens Eurosprinter Rh1216 050-5 locomotive (See Figure 2), which broke the 51-year-old record for world's fastest rail vehicle by traveling at 222 mph (357 km/h) twice in one hour on Sept. 2 on German Railways' (DB) high-speed line between Ingolstadt and Nuremberg. Eurosprinter incorporates Rittal's PS 4000 enclosure system with 16 mounting plates and two large swing frames. The PS 4000 with EMC forms the backbone of the electronic enclosure, which is protected against intense vibration and high-frequency electromagnetic interference. Components for distributing 3,000 V DC are accommodated in Rittal's 3 kV racks.
Austrian Railways' record-breaking, multi-system Siemens Eurosprinter Rh 1216 050-5 locomotive uses Rittal's PS 4000 enclosure with EMC equipment forms and 3 kV racks.
Novelty applications aside, enclosure diversification means it's more important than ever for end users, system integrators and others specifying professionals to be thoroughly aware of their applications' changing characters and what level of protection they truly need. "Specifying enclosures to protect electrical and electronic components has become increasingly complicated. In most applications, it's no longer enough to order a simple box to house your equipment. Many factors, including application demands, hardware, performance and operating environment can greatly affect the operational reliability and life of your equipment," says Emily Orvik, Hoffman's communications manager. "Determining the right enclosure for your application is made easier by seeking suppliers with the most choices, application experience and technical resources. No matter what brand you select, the following tips and considerations will make getting the right enclosure easier."

Healthy Chicken Salad – Recipe
I am addicted to Pinterest! I am addicted to getting healthier and you can follow that journey with Healthy and Well in 2012! So, I combined the two and started looking for healthy recipes. If it looks good and easy to make I am going to pin it to my Food Board and try it! I will also share some of the recipes here.
I found this for Healthy Chicken Salad and decided to try it. It turned out really good and even David (who isn't a big chicken fan) liked it. So here is the recipe (or you can click on this LINK to go directory to the website) and you can print the recipe.
- 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 cup chopped apple (about 1 large; I used a Pink Lady and kept the peel because it was organic)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Hellman's light mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Place the chicken, celery, apple and cranberries in a bowl and stir to combine.
- In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise and lemon juice.
- Add to the chicken mixture and stir to mix well.
- Stir in the parsley if desired.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Nutritional Estimates Per Serving (about 1 cup): 220 calories, 5 g fat, 13 g carbs and 28 g protein and 5 Weight Watchers PointsPlus value.
This would be delicious served on whole grain crackers or in a pita or wrap too.
So, now it's your turn. It's easy to make and, by the way, much better on the second day because all the flavors come out. Let me know what you think and if you have a healthy recipe you think I should try send it to me.
