A healthy diet means it should not have a negative impact on us. It does not mean reducing the portion of food arbitrarily. While it seems that most of the healthy diet main goal is to lose weight, in fact, diet is not only limited to that. Diet also means an attempt to regulate the entire nutritional intake for our body in order to be healthy and ideal.
A healthy diet takes careful planning and should emphasis on the food choice. A food plan is developed to provide enough energy for our body's daily need. This article will discuss how a healthy eating habit should be implemented on a diet. For those who are born underweight or who have small body type is certainly difficult to gain weight even after eating a lot or do a little to no cardiovascular exercise. On the contrary, people who are born overweight, even with minimal food intake a day could gain weight. This is why a healthy eating habit should be implemented so people can have their ideal body without any lack of nutrients.
Almost all diet tips out there only focus on losing weight by starving themselves. You will not get maximum result out of your diet if you don't pay attention to nutrition. Below is some eating habit you can implement to maximize your diet result.
- Enjoy your meals
Eating in a hurry will cause you to eat more. So slow down a little, chew the foods slowly. Please be aware when you are in stress or depression because the chance of overeating is high. Enjoy your foods but remember not to overeat. Remember the quote " full but not stuffed".
- Eat regularly
The second thing is to eat regularly. Doing this can make our diet more organized and also regulate the eating time. By eating regularly you will not experience a hunger on near bedtime or any time that is considered 'not right'.
- Pay attention to sitting posture
This is not too important, but a good sitting position also has a part of the excessive eating problem. If you eat while laying on the comfy bed or couch watching TV, you will not stop eating.
So a healthy diet does not only all about reducing the frequency and portion of meals in a day, you can eat as usual. However, you should carefully consider the type of food, how to serve them and eating frequency to maximize diet result.
A regular three sessions of eating is important when you want to regulate your eating habit during a diet. By following the three sessions, you are less likely to eat unnecessary snacks that will add to your daily calorie count.
Breakfast in the morning should not be skipped if you are on a diet because it helps to regulate your appetite throughout the day. A healthy breakfast should contain nutrients such as carbohydrates. Carbohydrates in the morning will become the source of energy during your activity. You can combine the carbohydrate with protein like eggs. Finally, drink low fat milk or an orange juice to complete your healthy breakfast.
The lunch menu should contain more fiber such as fruits and vegetable because we need to reduce the intake of carbohydrate. The protein can still be consumed, because protein is a great source of energy and doesn't store as fat, unlike carbohydrate. Additionally, drink enough water to keep you hydrated during the day.
For the dinner menu, it is also best to avoid too many carbohydrates. You can eat more of fruit or vegetable for the fiber. The activity you do at nighttime doesn't as heavy as daytime, so the fat will not go into energy, but stored as fat in our body. Eating just before bed is highly not recommended.
If you can follow those three sessions while still regulate the portion of each meal, the ideal body you dreamed of can be a reality. I will end this article by stating some things to avoid during diet so it will not ruin your hard work.
a) Avoid unhealthy snacks and junk food
Snacks and junk foods can be said to be the foods that cause you to obese. These foods contain preservatives which are not good for your overall health. Both of the junk food and snacks are very high in fat and salt, something you don't want to consume when you want to have an ideal body.
b) Keep hydrated
Remember, water, not soda or coffee. Water is highly important for your overall health. It makes your body function properly and also improves the metabolism process, which is a good thing if you are on a diet. A research said that drinking water can enhance metabolism by 27%.
c) Eat more vegetables and fruits
Both veggies and fruits are so important but sometimes can be a pain because they are not liked by so many people. You need a strong will and commitment. Fruits and veggies contain fiber which good for your diet process.
A healthy eating habit combined with dieting will benefit you in many ways. And it starts with core principles that you can follow to get towards that awesome body or healthy weight you have always wanted. Start with steps and slowly accumulate your way to get all these features, and use all the motivation tools you have to get there!

The building or site itself may lie within the boundary of more than one authority.
District: Northumberland (Unitary Authority)
Parish: Heddon-on-the-Wall
National Grid Reference: NZ 14051 69345
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
Reasons for Designation
Round cairns are prehistoric funerary monuments dating to the Bronze Age
(c.2000-700 BC). They were constructed as stone mounds covering single or
multiple burials. These burials may be placed within the mound in stone-lined
compartments called cists. In some cases the cairn was surrounded by a ditch.
Often occupying prominent locations, cairns are a major visual element in the
modern landscape. They are a relatively common feature of the uplands and are
the stone equivalent of the earthen round barrows of the lowlands. Their
considerable variation in form and longevity as a monument type provide
important information on the diversity of beliefs and social organisation
amongst early prehistoric communities. They are particularly representative of
their period and a substantial proportion of surviving examples are considered
worthy of protection.
Despite of the fact that the cairn at Heddon Laws was partly excavated during the 1920s, it is reasonably well preserved and retains significant archaeological deposits.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes the remains of a Bronze Age round cairn situated on the
top of a natural hillock. The cairn, visible as a large mound of stone and
earth, measures 25m in diameter and stands to a maximum height of 2.6m. The
cairn was investigated by limited excavation in 1925 revealing the remains of
what is thought to be stone walling 0.8m high within the cairn, and in
addition several flint flakes were recovered. Documents refer to the cairn as
the site of a beacon in 1549, one of a line of such beacon steads used as
signalling devices during the border warfare of the Middle Ages. The site of
the cairn is also referred to as the location of encampments in 1341 and
The small brick building which has been constructed on the south west part of
the mound and all fences which cross the monument are excluded from the
scheduling, although the ground beneath these features is included.

This message was shared on Sunday, January 29th at Saint Joseph UMC in Fort Wayne, IN.
John 4:27-38 – To give a little background…Jesus was resting by a well in the middle of the day. A Samaritan woman came to get her water for the day. Jesus strikes up a conversation. In the midst of the conversation, Jesus reveals to this woman what He knows about her…which is everything. He shares His knowledge about her past and why she is coming in the middle of the day, rather than the early morning (like the other woman). She tries to change the subject, but Jesus has a way of bringing things back to the heart of the matter. The story truly shows the breaking down of barriers: Jew/Samaritan; Man/Woman; Clean/Unclean
After her encounter with Jesus, she immediately goes to share her story and invite others to "come and see".
As followers of Jesus, we should be filled with the same contagious faith of this woman – that after encountering Jesus, we should be compelled to go and share our story and invite others to "come and see". There should be something so amazing and transforming about our encounter with Jesus that we are unable to contain our enthusiasm.
We read that the disciples are surprised to see Jesus conversing with this woman, but none are willing to question Him about it. Jesus uses this opportunity to talk about our call to reach all people. Jesus tells the disciples that the fields are ripe for the harvest. God is sending each of us to reap the harvest.
When I look at this story, I'm moved by the compassion, grace, love and empathy Jesus had for a person that would have been labeled as an "other". It's almost like Jesus took the OT Law seriously. Let's take a look at a couple of passages from the Old Testament (because I know you all were hoping and praying that we would deal with some passages from Leviticus and Deuteronomy).
Leviticus 19:33-34 & Deuteronomy 10:18-19
Now, some of us hear this passage and say, "Oh, but that's the OT. It doesn't really apply to us!" Of course, Jesus has something to say about that. Matthew 5:17-20 . Jesus didn't abolish the Law, He showed us how to live it. We aren't off the hook. Jesus taught that, if we could fully love God and others, it would take care of the whole law and prophets. In other words, there's something about the way we treat and love "others" that is closely tied to our relationship with Jesus. The way we treat our neighbor, which includes the foreigners and strangers among us, reflects the way we treat our Savior.
Therefore, this interaction between Jesus and the Samaritan woman should cause us to consider how we love and treat the "others" around us?
In our nation, today, there's a lot of talk about the "others" and "foreigners" among us. There's a lot of talk about building walls and banning refugees. So, it's time for me to step on some toes.
Are we more concerned with the "others" earthly or eternal citizenship? I don't recall reading any passage of Scripture where Jesus calls us to limit our love, compassion, care, service, and hospitality to only those who have the proper documentation.
If we are going to be serious about following the Jesus of the Bible, we need to seriously consider building bridges, rather than walls. We need to seriously consider welcoming, rather than banning those who are fleeing violence and genocide. We need to consider showing love and hospitality to those seeking a better life. Let us remember that Jesus was once a Middle Eastern refugee. All this "America first" language is borderline dangerous. As Christians, our primary allegiance is to God and God's Kingdom. Too many of us confuse patriotism and Christianity.
If we desire to build walls, reject and ban refugees, we need to at least be honest enough to admit that it's not our faith in the God of the Bible that is motivating our politics on the issue, but our fear of the other.
Brennan Manning wrote, "The outstretched arms of Jesus exclude no one, not the drunk in the doorway, the panhandler on the street, gays and lesbians in their isolation, the most selfish and ungrateful in their cocoons, the most unjust of employers and the most overweening of snobs. The love of Christ embraces all without exception."
Of course, for some of us, the "other" in our lives is not necessarily about a "foreigner", but those who are "different". Maybe your "other" is your neighbor who is a democrat or republican. Maybe your "other" is based on one's religious or non-religious affiliations. Maybe your "other" is based on the color of one's skin, their gender identification, or sexual preference. Or maybe your other is a Patriots fans (actually, that one is probably justifiable)! Or maybe your "other" is a person that is different in some way that causes anxiety, discomfort or fear.
Honestly, for me, it's often easier to love the "other" than it is to love my fellow Christians. My "other" is often fellow Christians with slightly different theological interpretations. The words, actions, social media posts of many so-called Christian leaders and friends that fail to honor my understanding of the way of Jesus, that's my "other". In my less mature days, when various Christian spokespersons said crazy stuff like "taking in refugees isn't a Biblical issue", I'd say things like "I'd like to punch that guy in the face." Now, I just make passive-aggressive Facebook posts!
In His interaction with this "other" woman, Jesus shows us that we are here to break down walls. We are here to build bridges. We are to include, rather than exclude. We are here to extend love, grace, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, hospitality to all. Our love for God, one another, and even our enemies should be what defines us as followers of Jesus.
One of the ways we can build bridges, include, and extend love, grace, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and hospitality to all is to invite others to join us on this journey. We need to become an invitational people. We need to embrace a culture of invitation.
80%– This is an important number. 80% is the percentage of Americans who are not meaningfully connected to a church. That means the mission field is ripe for the harvest. If we don't know anyone who is not meaningfully connected to a church, we need to get out of our Christian bubble, flee the Christian ghetto and make some new friends!
80% is also the percentage of Christians who believe we have a responsibility to share our faith.
Fort Wayne is often referred to as the "City of Churches". According to some demographics utilizing census information, only 54% identify as religious in Fort Wayne and Allen County. 26% fall into the "nones" category (following the national trend).
According to researchers at Christianity Today, 96% of those not associated with a church would likely attend if they were invited. However, here's some not so great news…Only 21% invited someone in the last 12 months. Only 2% invited an unchurched person. 19% invited people who are already actively involved in a faith community! That's not evangelism, that's competition!
So, 80% believe we should share our faith with the 80% not connected to a faith community. Only 21% participated in an easy way of sharing our faith by inviting someone to church. And, of that 21%, only 2% invited someone not meaningfully connected to a faith community. Come on church, let's be trendsetters. Let's change the numbers. Let's share our stories with the world around us.
We have a lot of changes taking place at Saint Joseph. We've seen staffing changes. We're preparing to launch a new worshipping community at the Lehman YMCA this summer. That launch will impact how we do things at our Reed Road location. Let me be clear, we do not make changes simply to make changes. We make changes in order to best position ourselves to make new disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
If you are here today and you have a pulse and you are breathing, you know things are always changing. The world around us is rapidly changing. Yet, we as the church are often slow to adapt and adjust. Therefore, it is wise to anticipate and expect changes. We keep offering the same old stuff in the same old ways in the same old packaging and expect different results. Whenever changes are made, it requires a response. We can accept the change. We can refuse the change – get mad, throw a fit, take our ball and go home.
Let us remember, Jesus calls His followers to shoulder our crosses daily and follow. Just to be clear, the cross is not about our comfort, our felt needs, or our personal preferences. For some, welcoming the "other" is a cross. For some, accepting change is a cross.
But, it's more than just accepting the change that is necessary. When we accept changes, another facet of our acceptance is to invite others along for the journey. When we make changes and do new & different things, it presents a great opportunity to extend an invitation to our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and others around us.
The woman didn't wait around – she ran to share. God wants all of us to "go", to run, share our story and invite others to come and see. For many of us, this requires us to step out of our comfort zones. We all have a call and responsibility to invite others to join us on the journey. We need to invite others to "come and check out this new thing"!
In your life, think of one person who could benefit from an encounter with Jesus. Maybe it's someone you would label as an "other". Think of that one person who could truly benefit from the fellowship, community, love, care, support and worship life of the church. This week, pray for that person. Call them, send them a text, let them know that you are thinking of them. Pray that God would give you opportunities for conversations where you can bring up your faith or church involvement in a way that isn't awkward. Then, invite that person to join us next week.

How to Use a Gold Pan
Pay dirt!
How to use a gold pan
I sometimes attend the yearly gold shows and marvel at all the fine new equipment designed to separate placer gold from the rocks, sand, mud and trash normally found in the streambeds where placer gold is found. While all the dredges, sluices, rocker boxes, and various other high production gadgets work very well, in the end, the concentrates must still be panned to recover the gold, and the lowly $10 pan is still the best recovery tool of all.
There are two types of gold deposits. One is the hard rock mine, where the gold is still captured in rock, sometimes in veins and sometimes in tiny particles embedded inside rocks. The other type is the one we'll talk about here...the placer deposit. Placers are simply collections of free gold that were eroded out of the parent rock, washed down into streambeds over the eons, and finally concentrated in places where the stream slows down, such as the inside of a bend or where the streambed levels out.
The old saying is, "Gold is where you find it', which is part of the fun. Prospectors sample the places I mentioned, like the inside of a bend, or the downstream side of boulders, and the best place of all…a crack in bedrock where bonanzas are sometimes found.
To understand how the gold pan works, we have to understand the nature of the gold we seek. Gold is one of the heaviest of all substances, with a specific gravity of over 19. Simply put, that means that gold is19 times heavier than water, volume for volume. To put that into perspective, lead has a specific gravity of right at 11. That means that gold is almost twice as heavy as lead, and we all know how heavy lead is. In fact, wherever we find gold in a stream, we usually also find lead and sometimes free mercury, which is also quite heavy with a specific gravity of over 13. All of them tend to settle in the same spots because they are so heavy. I have panned out lead bullets that are over a hundred years old.
The gold pan very effectively employs the great weight of gold by creating a situation where the gold can easily find its way to the bottom of the pan and stay there while the rocks, sand, and mud are gradually washed away. Let's grab our pans and go find some gold! It's great fun and excellent exercise.
Find a spot in the stream where the water is fairly quiet and where you can sit so your poor old back can last the day. Until you've had some practice, it's best to only fill your pan about half full. It's also much easier on hands and arms that are not used to handling a heavy gold pan.
The deeper you dig, the more likely you are to find gold. Remember, gold is extremely heavy, so it will always work its way down until it can't go any farther, and the only thing that will permanently stop it is bedrock. If your first sample is negative, dig deeper. If you hit bedrock, that's where you'll most likely find the heaviest concentrations of gold.
Sample on the inside of a bend or on the downstream side of a boulder. Warning! Do not dig under or very close to a boulder because they have been known to suddenly roll into such holes, and I don't want to lose a reader!
Once you have a sample in your pan, place it completely under water and use your fingers to break up the dirt, rocks, and sand. You might want to allow the stream to move the muddy water downstream first so you can see what you are doing. Later, when you have more experience, you won't need to see because you'll know what your pan is doing.
The trick is to get all the rocks, sand, trash, and hopefully, gold, into suspension in the water. Think of it as a rock and sand soup, with everything suspended in the water and nothing lying still on the bottom. While all that lighter stuff is suspended, the extremely heavy gold will almost immediately fall straight down to the bottom of the pan! The way you accomplish that is to move your pan in a swirling, back and forth motion while keeping it completely underwater. It takes a little practice, but once you see all that stuff moving freely in your pan, you'll know you're doing it right. Keep it swirling and in suspension for about 30 seconds and then move to the next step.
Now that you have moved the heavy minerals (gold, black sands, lead, etc.) much lower in your pan, you can remove the lighter materials that have moved to the top. The larger rocks can just be tossed out by hand. Once that has been done, you can use the water to gently wash off the top layer of light minerals. Holding the pan completely under water again, gently move the pan back and forth while tilting it forward a few degrees and watch the water float the light stuff right out of your pan!
Now all you need to do is repeat those steps…swirl everything, making sure it's all in suspension, and then tilt the pan forward a few degrees and use the water to wash off the top layer of light stuff. Always keep your pan underwater. Keep going until there's nothing left in your pan but a small pocket of black sand and hopefully gold.
(Don't worry that you are washing gold out of your pan along with the light stuff! If you have seen the material in your pan in suspension, then you know that heavy gold is safely stored in the very bottom of your pan.)
Now for the fun part! You should have a couple of tablespoons or so of black sand and other heavy elements left in your pan. If there's any gold, it will be safely deposited along the front ridge at the bottom of your pan. Carefully pour out all the water except a couple of tablespoons and then gently swirl the water around, moving the black sands out of the way, and look for that yellow flash in the pan! And yes, gold looks just like the gold around your finger! It's unmistakably gold and as soon as you see your first tiny flake (maybe even a nugget!), you'll be hooked for life.
I prefer the green pans with riffles built in to one side. The riffles are great for trapping gold when you first start with a full pan, but they become a nuisance as the pan empties, so when that happens, just rotate the pan and use the smooth side. The green color makes the yellow gold stand out far better than the black pans, in my humble opinion.
Good luck and happy panning!
Very informative article. I always wondered how this actually worked. Now I know!
No worries at all. Thank you for all of the tips. I now will be a student of the river.
I recently bought a pan, and spent a day at the American River trying to learn the fine art of panning. I took a lesson on how to pan and spent a couple of hours hunched over and rocking and swishing. Every time I was getting down to the black sand, so my technique was right, however, I did not come home with any gold. Any further tips on where to look? I want to continue, but I'm a little discouraged. I know it will take a lot of time and patience to get good at it. For now, I'm keeping my chin up, and may try a new spot next week.
Loved the hub. this is just how the hubby pans as a hobby. We go out get dirt and bring it back to the house and pan in the garage just to pass the time. Voted up!!
Oh yeah... For me it was not something I could invest allot of time all at once in... too bad... I really loved that Hobby. built my own dredge... just for the fun of it... never used a commercially made one although I would have liked to. It can be an expensive hobby when you get all the stuff invested on going to find it... The real money has always been in selling the equipment to the miners... and another true saying... that Gold is where you find it.. Gold is in the prettiest country you will ever see... But sadly most people are too focused on the glowing yellow dots in the pan to see the sunset over the hills...
I used to drive long haul... kept a "Prospectors tool Kit" in my jockey box and even a green plastic sluice and wooden rocker box that I made and kept strapped behind the sleeper with the load locks... only found a little bit of tiny dots of Gold here and there.. but it was sure fun to look for. Stop on the road side turnouts next to some creek that I knew was down stream from the old Gold mines... have a few extra hours to kill... need to satisfy my log book... go prospecting for a few hours of leisure time:-) I usually worked awhile and just brought it all down to a concentrate... worked that way as long as I could... and when it was time to go I rinse dumped all concentrate into a sealed Tub for later on down the line... when I had nothing to do... and plenty of time... I would sit at that tub and pan for hours... Just keep re-panning it... :-)
I am probably wrong about what she had, but it was used to detect gold. Maybe it was some kind of kit. I do not know of such things.
I met a woman in Colorado Springs who told me that she got rich while working at a Goodwill store. She bought a gold detector (or whatever it is called), bought all of the jewelry that came in, and found a fortune. I have known people who had valuables, but their impatient relatives came to clear their homes after their deaths and did not feel moved to check carefully. Some of these things go to thrift stores, garage sales, and some become garbage. I believe that a landfill could be a great place to prospect for gold, maybe.
Panning for gold seems interesting, but I would want to do some serious prospecting, not recreational. I wonder if it is truly possible.
Hey Will, I lived in Easley in Burdine Spring, a subdivision just outside town. In our backyard was a stream which flowed down from a hillside. The bottom of the stream will filled with black sand...magnetic sand, just like what is in an etch-a-sketch...I did not know there was gold in South Carolina, was in my early 30s, raising to toddlers...but knowing what I know now, I would have panned for gold there for sure. Pickens County, South Carolina had a gold mine in the area.
Gold Rush and Bering Sea Gold are two of my favorite shows. I used to live in South Carolina and never panned for gold while I was there, which I now regret.
This sounds like a pretty serious past-time but one that would prove worthwhile. Don't think I would find any gold in South Florida but I have found some treasures on the beach. Enjoyed reading through this hub article.
My mom has gone several times--and loved it!
Want to come panning with me?? Up in the CA foothills?? I've never done it, but I want to now--
I panned for gold in Lynx Creek out of Prescott last summer. Had lots of fun, got beautiful pictures, and a couple tiny flakes of gold! Dropped them in the creek and didn't get to bring any home to 'prove it'. But have fun memories and am going to do it again!
Thanks for your tips. All I had was a pie pan, duh. And I didn't keep the pan under the water. Bookmarking. :-)
I have never panned for gold but would love to give it a try.
I am ready to get to work.
Sounds like fun. I'd love to give it a try sometime.
I sure would like to go one day. I worked at that detention center CADC. Staff of course. I always like how you had green to the east, snow up North, dessert out west, and on the border of Mexico it was cool and green. I went to Mexico once through Nogales, might be spelled wrong. Place is crazy. They try to sell American people pills out of their shacks. It was crazy. Yeah, I wish I would have went though. I miss it in the winter. I loved Arizona in the winter. Cotton almost looks like snow! I saw snow once a few years back, maybe 2007 I believe.
Voted up Will. I wish I would have went panning while I lived in Arizona, but I didn't. I am hoping to visit next year so perhaps I can spend a day or few hours looking. When I worked at CCA, the guards would talk about searching and I believe they were talking about somewhere in Arizona. This was in Florence, so I am not sure though. 1,600+ an ounce sure sounds good to me. Very useful hub Will and well written. I was watching something on the history channel and they said we have only mined about 5% of the gold in America. In the late 1880's or 90's, a man in Northern West Virginia found some gold. It seems it is scattered everywhere. I heard Washington is the place to go. Interesting subject Will. Take care friend.
Having lived in California for most of my wild life, I have enjoyed panning for gold several times. Only thing missing was this great, informative hub on How to Use a Gold Pan. Next time, I will have better results...thanks to you!
Will Starr, this hub takes me back to Downieville, California where there are 3 rivers which intersect in two places at either end of a small, Sierra County, town named after the founder, Major William Downie. Here, any time I visited, I'd see numerous people panning for gold...some more successful than others. I wonder if those who found more gleaming nuggets knew your 'secret to success?' A had a home there...actually, Major Downie's original residence, for 12 years....and lived right across from the Downie River (Yuba and Marys are the other two)....and there were always intrepid souls seeking their fortune. Very interesting and useful, awesome hub, Will Starr.
So very insightful! I really enjoyed reading about panning! Was very educational for me. I am sure to come back to your hub and ask some questions if I do holiday to USA sometime. Alas! I wish I could try it out in my part of the world. Guess not! :(
I have always wanted to go to one of those places that give you a bucket of dirt to look for gold! lol
I am a real treasure hunter and years ago I use to borrow someone's metal detector and I found a penny or two.
Thanks for the tips. A small creek runs through my property but most of the gold I've seen has been fools gold. now I'm off to buy a gold pan.
That is great Will! I had a go when I was quite young but had no luck at the time lol. Would love to do it again and what great tips you have. Loved the bit about, not losing a reader lol.
Awesome and up
Cheers skellie
I would love to do this! Where can you go, I live in Philadelphia, anywhere near by me?
Great hub! I live on the edge of the Truckee River. Unfortunately, east of rather than west of the Sierra Nevada. Anyhow its a short drive over the hill. Should I try this one day, perhaps on the Yuba River, or Feather Creek I will have your hub in hand.
Will: I love this hub.. You taught me how to dig which is a dream of mine. I go to Nevada City CA often and I love the history of digging for gold...Have you ever been there? Anyway I found your hub to be informative, educational and fascinating... Thanks
Very Handy Tool. We Could Sure Use Some Gold Around The House. God Bless You Precious Friend.
Great hub! So interesting and well-written. When I was a kid my favorite family trip involved panning for rubies near an old Appalacian mine. I was a rockhound nerd kid and that trip was a bit of heaven to me. Your directions are very thorough yet would be easy to follow. Think I need to put this back on the bucket list!
I've tried a couple times to pan for gold and come up empty. Didn't really know what I was doing but I'm bookmarking this for reference next time I go. Thanks for the share on the boulder tip...I'd be the one who did something silly like that!
I grew up watching the old cowboy shows such as Gunsmoke and Bonanza with my dad. I was always fascinated with the gold panning process.Interesting article enjoyed reading it.
Hey, I forgot to mention this---I saw on tv the other day (I think it was on that same show) that the average cell phone contains, I think it was, about $1.24's worth of gold! So, don't throw away your old cell phones! I say collect everyone else's too that they don't want and start tearin' out that gold! haha. Hey, maybe that's why some companies buy up old cell phones.....
Wow, great hub!
I was watching a show on tv the other night (I forget what it's called) about digging for gold; the team of guys used heavy equipment and all that; very interesting.
I've got a brother who says he has actually found some gold in some creekbeds here in Indiana.....maybe I should get me one of those pans and start lookin'...
Will, I've never (YET) panned for gold, though I did have half a dozen marriages that didn't pan out--until, of course, finally coming up with Pam, the greatest find any man could want.
But I certainly grew up in gold-capable country, chasing girls at the country dances at Gold Creek, Montana. So, maybe someday, back to my roots....
And when I do that, I'll be printing off a copy of your hub to take with me, preserve in big plastic baggie, taped around a chunk of cardboard so I can read the steps without opening the seal. No way I'd get every step right without cheating like that, and you've written the best gold panning cheat sheet I've ever seen.
I, too, would be just about as happy turning up old bullets. Maybe some points from an unknown ancient tribe that used lead arrowheads, or....
Now, to start thinking about just where I might dig into that underwater crack in the bedrock plumb loaded with the yaller stuff....
Voted Up and a Bunch.
I always wanted to go search for gold. I use to live in Casa Grande and I never got the chance to go. Wish I would of went. I never knew there was gold in Arizona. Where does everyone go? Cool hub, voted awesome.
Very cool Hub! I have never seen a green one - fascinating and you are a great writer. Thank yoU! Job well done.
Interesting hub. God Bless You.
I love this! Great idea for a subject to write about and to teach others. Well explained and very well written. Nice writing style too!
Cool! And how appropriate because the stream was right next to the Bonanza property - The Ponderosa Ranch property. Well, all readers in that area, have fun looking for the find that I missed. One day, I'll go back and look too.
You've done a great job of explaining the art of panning for gold. I've gone panning in mountain streams in the Sierra Nevada range. All I found there was "fool's gold" which is misleading and cause for disappointment.
But, I am excited to tell you that I found a somewhat large piece of pink quartz with a vein of gold running through it way up in the Sierra's in a mountain stream above Lake Tahoe. It is my prize - displayed with all my Western books that now reside on shelves in Pennsylvania - just to prove to all the Easterners that I was a Western girl for awhile!
Thanks for a very interesting hub on an unusual topic. As we live in southern England there is probably not much hope of us finding gold in the local streams, but it does sound good exercise for the upper arms.
No idea that it was best to keep the pan under the water - that really would require muscle power!
Will, my husband and I love to pan. We also metal detect. When we retire we are going to AZ.
Great hub
Will, great article on technique, over the years I keep putting flakes and small pieces into a test tube with a cork and I don't really know how much it weighs or is worth, don't really care. I just like to look at it with friends and all want to know where it came from, I can't tell them cuz I've panned a thousand places and added a bit at a time. thanks, 50
This was a good read, brought back memories of when we attempted this at a 'museum' at a former mine. They had set up an area for folk who were visiting to have a go at panning for 'gold' (although the museum was at a former lead mine). I must say I found it more difficult to do than the way it looks in the movies. Maybe I would have been better at panning for gold if I had read this first and understood how it works and the technique needed.
Hiya Will, oh I definitely want to pan for gold! How exciting is that! I won't definitely find any gold here in Toronto.. so I better hold off buying a Gold Pan. It will be exciting to go on a gold panning trip though. Will you arrange for one?
Have a nice day,
Wow a interesting article. Not sure there is gold in sunny Florida. Sounds like fun. Good luck. Hope you hit your gold mine. Don't forget about your friends LOL. Great hub WILL.
A few years ago when we had the big flood down off the recently burned Catalina Mountains, the stream through our claim moved boulders. The smart guys that got up there right after the water went down found quite a bit of gold. It is still out there waiting for that lucky prospector so we should go get some of it.
Will, I belong to a prospecting club that has several claims down here in the Tucson area. I can honestly say that in all the times I have been out, I have not yet found enough gold to pay for my gold pan. The flakes I have found though are "My Gold", and that makes them very special. The thing is though, that right around that bend, under that boulder, behind that log, may just be my first big nugget. That is what keep us old prospectors going. It is great fun, and I just enjoy being out there looking for gold. Perhaps one day we can go dig some dirt and do a little panning together. Great hub as usual my friend.
I would like to try it at least once. Finding a few nice gold nuggets sounds great. Interesting hub.
Many years ago in my "outlaw" days, I and a friend invested in a dredge and gold pan and planted ourselves on the shore of the Feather River in California. We worked and played and then one day I couldn't believe my eyes but there was a nugget. I wasn't tricked by fool's gold anymore and knew it was the real thing. What a rush.
We later found more in that river but not enough to continue the lifestyle. Thanks for bringing back great memories.
I don't think I'll be doing any panning. I think I did see a demonstration once when I was on a trip to California. I am contemplating a story that might involve gold so this information might be useful to add some believability to it.
Very interesting. I wish there was some gold deposits in my neck of the woods!

Richard Rodriguez and Virginia Collier both examine bilingual education in America. However, they describe the issue using very different approaches. Rodriguez gives a personalized account of his experience with bilingual education and the effects it has on him as in individual; while Collier provides guidelines for educators on how to effectively teach multilingual students English.
In "Aria" Rodriguez describes his struggle to learn English as a Spanish speaking child. He describes his feelings as though English was a public language, while Spanish was more private. He discusses his feeling of the loss of closeness with his family as he becomes more confident in his English. He describes how as the children became more fluent in English, the dialogue between parents and children lessened. Rodriguez describes the bitter sweetness as he becomes fluent in English and experiences "public success." He explains, " I would have been happier about my public success had I not sometimes recalled what it had been like earlier, when my family had conveyed its intimacy through a set of conveniently private sounds." He feels that learning English and becoming assimilated into public society, despite its drawbacks, was a necessity. Rodriguez concludes that the loss of his private identity by learning English and becoming assimilated into public society allowed for him to achieve his public individuality. Rodriguez's account of his experiences with learning English was powerful to me because it was told from his point of view as a child. I felt I gained a better understand of his (and most likely many ESL students) of the complicated aspects of learning English as a second language.
In "Teaching Multilingual Children," Collier examines the challenges bilingual teachers face. Collier stresses the importance of an appreciation of the different linguistic and cultural values the students bring to the classroom. She provides guidelines that serve to give teachers a better understanding of how to effectively teach English to second language learners. The guidelines are as follows:
1. Be aware that children use first language acquisition strategies for learning or acquiring a second language.
2. Do not think of yourself as a remedial teacher expected to correct so called "deficiencies" of your students.
3. Don't teach a second language in any way that challenges or seeks to eliminate the first language.
4. Teach the standard form of English and students' home language together with and appreciation of dialect differences to create an environment of language recognition in the classroom.
5. Do not forbid students from code-switching in the classroom. Understand the functions code-switching serves.
6. Provide literacy development curriculum that is specifically designed for ELL.
7. Provide a balanced and integrated approach to the four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
I felt that Collier provides an excellent guide for teachers that are faced with the challenge of not only teaching English, but also teaching literacy skills as well. She gives rationale behind each guideline and explains how and why to teach that way explicitly. If I was going to teach a student English as a second language I would certainly refer to her guidelines!
After reading these articles, I was able to make some connections to other authors and readings from the course. Both articles relate to Delpit and her concept of the "culture of power." Ultimately students are learning English because it is the language of those in power. I feel as though Deplit would agree with Collier and Rodriguez that students should be taught English in order to be successful in our society. Deplit does agree with Collier that teachers should value and appreciate the students own language and culture, and also agrees that students should be taught the values of the "culture of power" in order to be successful in society today. Deplit explains, "To imply to children or adults…that it doesn't matter how you talk or how you write is to ensure their ultimate failure. I prefer to be honest with my students. I tell them that their language and cultural style is unique and wonderful but there is a political power game being played, and if they want to be in on that game there are certain games they too must play" (The Silenced Dialogue, 40). While they agree in some ways, Collier has a more idyllic perspective on the issue of education children of color; she feels that, "The key is the true appreciation of the different linguistic and cultural values that students bring into the classroom." Delpit takes a somewhat of a harsher standpoint than Collier. Deplit states, "They [colleagues] seem to believe that if we accept and encourage diversity within classrooms of children, then diversity will automatically be accepted at gate keeping points." While they have somewhat different ways of thinking, I feel as though Collier, Rodriguez, and Deplit do agree on the aspect that students need to be taught the values (for example, the English language) of the "culture of power" in order to be successful within it.
Another connection I was able to make was between Collier and Finn. Two of the seven of Collier's guidelines focus on literacy. While they examine different issues surrounding literacy, both Collier and Finn feel as though students of all ethnicities and classes need to be taught the importance of literacy. In "Literacy with an Attitude," Finn explains the power of literacy. He states, "...literacy and school knowledge could be a potent weapon in their [working class] struggle for a better deal…" ("Literacy with an Attitude, xii). While Collier looks at ELL students and Finn at working class, the both send the message that literacy is power. Collier explains that ELL students need literacy to be successful in society. She states, "Many transitional or ELL programs do not emphasize the backbone of school success, academic literacy. On the false premise that English oral competence is all an immigrant child needs to compete with native English speaking peers, too many ESL or ELL programs fail to provide a literacy curriculum for their unique needs. This curricular cheats immigrant students, since literacy is indispensable for lifelong success." While they are discussing of different groups of students, Finn and Collier feel as though the students not only need to be shown the importance of literacy, but need to be taught it in an empowering way, so they can achieve powerful literacy.

The Qt 3D Studio suite includes:
|An authoring tool for creating interactive 3D presentations and applications.
|A runtime player to test and deploy interfaces created in Studio.
A "project" is simply a folder on your computer holding all the art and other assets needed for your application. You can create a project by creating folders in your file system, or you can also have a template project created for you (with suggested folders for organization) from Studio application.
Your "application" is the entry point of your project. It is represented by a single
.uia file at the root of your project folder. This file references the presentation and sub-presentations in your project. The application is what is displayed by the Viewer.
Artists use Studio to create presentation files, represented by
.uip files in your project. A presentation has one or more layers composited to the screen, comprised of 2D and 3D assets created in other applications.
Each application can only have one main presentation shown on screen (specified by the
.uia) but this presentation may reference other sub-presentations, either on flat layers or as images and textures drawn in a scene.
Learn more about creating presentations in the reference for Studio application.
Additional functionality can be built on top of the Qt 3D Studio presentations with QML by incorporating applications or presentations into QML with the Studio3D element.
Learn more in QML API Reference.
A single Studio presentation combines one or more layers. The visual result of each layer comes from rendering a 3D scene, 2D scene (via an orthographic camera), or sub-presentation. Layers are then composited with items on upper layers drawing on top of the content on lower layers.
Learn more about the properties of layers in Layer Properties.
A Studio presentation combines 3D assets with animations and slides. Slides provide visual variations within the presentation.
Learn more about slides in Slide Palette.
Known Issues
Possible problems after automatic mesh optimization
When loading a presentation made with an earlier version (2.0 beta2 or older) of Qt 3D Studio which has imported FBX or DAE models, you may see the following messagebox:
If your imported models are not visible in the Viewer after seeing the message, you need to edit your
*.uip file(s) manually. Some older versions of Studio referenced meshes with revision number in the
*.uip file, and that revision causes it to be missing in the scope of the Viewer.
You'll need to find all occurrences of

China's Rock-Star Olympian Sports Christian Cross Tattoo to Honor His Grandmother
China's popular Olympian Lin Dan or "Super Dan" sports many tattoos including a Christian Cross on his left arm.
Nearly five million Chinese Internet users on Monday posted their praise of badminton player Lin Dan after his historic defense of his Olympic gold in London.
Super Dan also has a cross on his left arm. He has never publicly said what it means.
According to Chinese media, his cross tattoo is due to his grandmother being a
Christian. Super Dan says she prays for him before every match and he loves her very much.

The US candy industry has been leading worldwide in terms of annual retail volume of consumed sugar, gum and chocolate. Americans spend massive amounts on candy each year, with over $35 billion spent by the whole country in 2016. Major holidays like Christmas, Easter and especially, Halloween, contribute to this number.
However, Americans do not have the sweetest tooth – it belongs to the Germans. They consume twice as much candy as Americans! Seems like they don't want to lighten up with sweets despite all the beer, pretzels, bratwurst and cheese they consume heavily. In fact, Germany has the highest per capita consumption of candy in 2016.
Amused? Here are some interesting facts about the candy brands you love and other random trivia about them:

HAGERSTOWN -- Wayne Kretzer Jr. built it. And some of the top high school track and field athletes in the region, and in some cases the country, are coming.
The first Jack Griffin Mid-Atlantic Prep Track & Field Classic will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday at North Hagerstown's Mike Callas Stadium.
Roughly 200 athletes from about a dozen states already have registered to compete at the meet, which is sanctioned by USA Track & Field.
"I wanted to set up a regional championship," said Kretzer, of Hagerstown. "There's always been all this talk about a meet of champions, trying to get the best together -- like how would the Maryland 1A champ do against the Maryland 4A champ, how would the Pennsylvania champ do against the Virginia champ? This meet allows everyone to come together under one banner. ... If you want to prove you're good, this is a chance to step up and do it."

A packed church enjoyed music from the choir ranging from anthems to lighter arrangements, the entire programme being sung from memory. In addition, the audience was treated to a number of fine solo performances, including Phoebe Smith (violin), Latchen Kinghorn- Perry (saxophone), Harry Barker (cello), Ottilie Bardsley (piano), Emma and Hannah Bloor (vocal duet) and Heather Pearson (violin).
John Harries, vicar of St. John's, commented, "I am thrilled that so many people turned out to hear the choir; their final piece, 'A Clare Benediction' by John Rutter was as if God was pouring out his blessing upon us all."

The Colorado Community Response (CCR) program operates through a partnership with Archuleta County Department of Human Services. The program is designed to provide family navigation services as a promising practice for preventing child maltreatment and strengthening family functioning by providing access to concrete services in times of need and assisting them in accessing formal systems and informal resources to meet those needs. CCR aims to increase the family's protective capacities through service linkages, case advocacy and connections to both formal and informal resources. CCR fills a gap in the child maltreatment continuum by serving families who have been reported to Archuleta County for alleged child abuse or neglect, and whose referral was either "screened out" (was not opened for investigation) or closed after initial assessment.
LPFCC promotes Early Childhood Education and Parenting Education that enhances parent resilience through the Parents as Teachers (PAT) program and by offering parenting classes such as Love and Logic®. LPFCC offers monthly parenting Group Connections and Foster Parent Night Out events. Services for our community include hearing, vision and developmental screenings.
The La Plata Family Centers Coalition has a variety of programs that strengthen families and promote healthy child development.
We have 4 locations in La Plata County: two offices in Bayfield, one in Durango, and one in Fort Lewis Mesa. We also have a shared office in Archuleta County. (Two sites are housed within elementary schools, and one staff person is located within the La Plata County Department of Human Services, and one person is housed within Archuleta County Human Services.)
The Family Development philosophy and Strengthening Families Framework is interwoven across all programs.
Services are offered in nine main program areas:
Family Support Services are intensive when families first enter the program then taper off as goals are reached and families become more successfully independent and self reliant. Each plan is individualized and tailored to each family. The program will strengthen its implementation of quality standards, the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework, and the Colorado Family Support Assessment 2.0 by operating this new program devoted to coordinated, comprehensive case management.

EducationCalifornia Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo - BS, Mechanical Engineering
ExperienceI have tutored students in Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, and Differential Equations. I have also helped students with Mechanical Engineering, AP Math and Science courses, and SAT test preparation. Much of my experience tutoring these subjects took place while I was working on my degree at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Students who were having trouble would come to me for tutoring help, and this in turn helped me develop my own mastery of the material.While getting my undergraduate degree, I also worked as a personal trainer. This, combined with my tutoring experience, helped me to develop the teaching skills I use today. It taught me to be both systematic and patient in my approach to teaching, and how to break down complex problems so that students can see how they work. I teach my students to first understand, then process, and finally try out their solutions.In addition to teaching, training, and problem-solving, I spend my time engineering original devices and pursuing self-improvement. I firmly believe that personal growth and development are the most important goals we can achieve, and I am continually pursuing new personal bests.

Mushroom Grain Salad with Pancetta
D'Artagnan | Yield: serves 4-6 | Cook Time: about 1 hour
This hearty grain salad combines barley with sautéed mushrooms, leeks, and shallots. Crisped pancetta adds a salty kick while its rendered fat mixes with lemon juice for a simple dressing. Delicious as a side or a lunchtime main topped with over-easy eggs.
- 1 cup barley
- Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons Black Truffle Butter
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 2-inch piece leek, white and light green part only, halved lengthwise & thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed & finely chopped
- 1 package Organic Chef's Mix Mushrooms, trimmed and rough chopped, Trumpet Royale mushrooms sliced and lightly scored
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 4 ounces Ventrèche, cut into ¼-inch dice
- 1/8 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- Cook the barley in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 50 - 60 minutes for hulled or hull-less, 20 - 30 minutes for pearl. Drain; spread out on a sheet pan and set aside to cool slightly.
- Melt truffle butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add shallot, sauté until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add leek and garlic; sauté about 3 minutes more. Add mushrooms, turning to coat; season mixture with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until mushrooms are soft and start to brown, about 10 minutes; add thyme, sauté about 1 minute more. Spread mushroom mixture evenly over the barley, set aside.
- In a small skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the ventrèche until rendered, golden brown, and crisped.
- Spread the parsley and ventrèche evenly over the surface of the mushroom barley mixture. Add the juice and zest of the lemon and drizzle about 3 tablespoons of the rendered ventrèche fat evenly over the top; season with salt and pepper. Toss mixture together before serving on a platter.
Recipe tips: The salad can be made 3 hours ahead and kept at room temperature covered with cling film. This salad is also delicious served warm with a soft-cooked egg on top.

Does Levothyroxine need to be refrigerated?

Responses (1)
They don't need to be. However if it is very hot where she is, it is sensitive to temps over 80 some degrees. So if no air conditioning, it would be smart to keep them in the door of the refrigerator if she can. That is the warmest part of the refrigerator and is where I store insulin and acidophilus.
Thank you very much for your reply, greatly appreciated.

Turning a dead person into a diamond
Does anyone else just find this a little creepy?
wasn't there an advert
a few years ago with gangsta/mafia style people who turned someone into a diamond? I wonder who my shiner once was.
it was for smirnoff.
it's a nice idea
but in reality, kinda sick. I would not want to touch that.
not really
sure how it's any worse than a gravestone or an urn containing someone's ashes..
"He is my diamond geezer now."
Oh. Dear. God.
If someone had me turned into a diamond, i'd definitely make sure that i'd come back to haunt them. I wouldn't want my final resting place to be in a place of bling.
not creepy
my teeth are now supplemented with people. corpse bling.
a bit
my dad wants his ashes made into a glaze and used on a pot (he used to be a potter)
which is original I suppose
Two different ways of reading the first paragraph?
"The family of a Blackpool man who died suddenly shunned traditional memorials in favour of a novel alternative - turning him into a diamond"
He died, and suddenly shunned traditional memorials?
Anyway, it is a bit weird, or something
After a quick google
I think this may be the way forward. I wouldn't mind being a diamond. Better than taking up grave space or sitting in an urn!
i think i just find
the idea of a sentimental attachment to someone's remains in any form to be a bit strange.
i don't like graves or urns on the mantlepiece or diamonds or anything.
burn me up and sprinkle me into over the cliffs on constitution hill when I die.
I agree
I couldn't care less what happens to my body once I'm dead, it's not like I'll know. But if I HAD to choose, a diamond would be pretty cool.
I'd rather have my ashes sprinkled somewhere.
Maybe Penang.
I don't like the idea of being buried, in case I'm not really dead, just really, really asleep..
i just want to be thrown to the wolves / cats
which is probably likely, as i'm intending to die alone and poor. hurrah!
like our very own
Bridget Jones?
I like this idea
I want to be a diamond when I'm dead
or a lump of coal
do you think
they could make you into a CD?
that'd be cool.
i seem to recall Lawrence of Arabia's ashes
were put into a cement mixer and turned into a new fireplace by his widow...
I want to turn
Billie Piper into a diamond, then do sexy things with that diamond. It's the only thing that'll get me off.
it fear my soul would be crushed
and imprisoned forever, not that I have one
you'll have to rub
it the right way (so sorry)

We popped in Friday afternoon to find the museum in complete disarray, yet filled with tons of creative energy. Each room had something completely different going on, from fastening models to the wall to mixing cement (pictured below). This exhibit celebrates the process and artistry behind making our city and every day lives interesting and beautiful.

Today we'd like to introduce you to Shauna Benoit.
Shauna, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I was always that kid who carried my 110 Film camera around and tried to take interesting photos, well for a 10-year-old. I then had boxes that I would file my prints away in and separated them into different subject matters. My freshman year of college is when I really started getting serious about photography and spent every waking minute in the darkroom. I even joined a local paper and did a lot of their photojournalism. I think that is what helped sparked my interest is focusing on moments and getting artistic candid images. I graduated in 2004 from Texas Woman's University with my BFA in photography. A couple of years later, I fell into photographing weddings when a lot of people I knew and friends of friends started getting married. I have been full time since 2009 and it has been the most fulfilling career. I just love making people smile and seeing happy people.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
To be honest and frank, owning a business and being an artist is a struggle every day. There is the constant artist struggle of "I rock" to "I suck" and that is the same day. It really is a balancing act to be the creative photographer, but then also the marketer and customer service liaison and to deal with the financial business side and be the editor of all the images. It keeps one really busy and I have to remember that a work/life balance is important to keep me sane. I have a really supportive husband who is my rock and keeps me grounded.
K & S Photography – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Our main focus is candid (also known as documentary) wedding photography. The moments are what drive us as we want the memories to come flooding back to our couples when they look through their wedding images. I think I take candid images in a really unique and creative way and show couples a unique prospective on their wedding day. I also use lighting in a really unique and interesting way. Most portraits are done with natural light but I utilize light to create shadows and interesting feel to images. I also really focus on creating interesting compositions and spend a lot of time adhering to creating layers and depth to my images.
What is "success" or "successful" for you?
I'm really simple, success is making my clients happy.

Heat Turned Up for Arrest of Trayvon's Killer
SANFORD, Fla. (CN) – Civil rights leaders and elected officials Monday night asked the Sanford City Commission to order the arrest of the man who shot to death 17-year-old Trayvon Martin one month ago.
Trayvon's parents, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, presented commissioners with a petition signed by more than two million people who want Trayvon's killer, George Zimmerman arrested.
Zimmerman shot Trayvon on Feb. 26, as the teenager walked from a convenience store back to his father's home with a bag of candy and an iced tea.
According to 911 tapes, Zimmerman said Trayvon looked like he was "up to no good," "on drugs or something" and was "just walking around looking about."
Zimmerman followed Trayvon and confronted him after a police dispatcher told him not to do so, according to a transcript of the call.
"We do not need a trial and jury to make an arrest," that Rev. Al Sharpton said at a Monday rally. "You have a man saying he is pursuing an unarmed man on tape. You have probable cause to make an arrest."
Zimmerman, a 28-year-old self-appointed Neighborhood Watch captain, claimed he shot Martin in self defense.
Zimmerman's attorney Craig Sonner said Trayvon initiated the confrontation and beat Zimmerman so badly he suffered a broken nose and injuries to the back of his head. Sonner said there are grass stains on Zimmerman's shirt that show there was a scuffle.
But Trayvon's parents' attorney Benjamin Crum criticized police who came to the scene for allowing Zimmerman to return home in the clothes he was wearing and destroying evidence.
"For the Sanford Police Department to think they were going to sweep the death of another young minority under the rug, it's an atrocity," Martin said at the Monday rally.
The Sanford Police Department has come under fire for its handling of the shooting. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee temporarily resigned last week amid public criticism.
Trayvon's parents sued Lee on March 9 for his refusal to release several 911 calls from the shooting. The recordings have been released.
Critics have asked why police did not question witnesses, Trayvon's young step-brother, or the girlfriend he spoke with just moments before he was killed, and why the police sent a narcotics detective to test Trayvon for drugs and alcohol, but did not do the same for Zimmerman.
"We've been here before," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said at the rally. "With the death of Emmett Till, his killer was acquitted. It seems like we've been here before. Police chose not to do their duty. They didn't see his death as a crime."
Police Capt. Darren Scott has been named interim chief until an investigation is done to determine whether Lee will be fired.
A new prosecutor, Angela Corey, has been assigned the case, and the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice have taken over the investigation.
"We want to believe in the system," the family's attorney Benjamin Crump said. "We want to believe that it works for everybody."
The case has spotlighted Florida's so-called Stand Your Ground Law, which allows a person to use deadly force in self-defense if he has a reasonable belief of a threat. The law expanded the "right" to use deadly force from inside one's home, to public space. The Tampa Tribune reported that "justifiable homicides" in Florida have tripled since the law took effect in 2005.
Some Floridians have said the law should not apply in this case since police told Zimmerman not to follow Trayvon.
Outrage over Trayvon's death has sparked rallies across the nation. Sharpton, Jackson, Martin Luther King III, and Congresswoman Corrine Brown are among those who have spoken in Sanford.
A "Million Hoodies" march was held in New York City last week to support Trayvon, who was wearing a hoodie on the rainy day he was killed.
Sharpton urged the crowd at Thursday's rally to hold peaceful protests and be careful of their behavior.
"We've held peaceful protests," Sharpton said. "The only violence that occurred was when Zimmerman shot Trayvon a month ago."
He added: "Sanford is a beautiful city, but it's risking going down in history as the Birmingham of the 21st century. Arrest him [Zimmerman] and redeem Sanford right now. Zimmerman is not worth the history of this city. Do the right thing."
The shooting was not Zimmerman's first run-in with the law. In 2005 his former fiancee filed an injunction after a domestic violence claim. Veronica Zuazo claimed that Zimmerman took her cell phone and when she asked for it back he picked her up and it became a pushing match.
Zimmerman also filed an injunction against her, claiming that she was the one who became violent with him and left marks on his skin. Both injunctions were granted.
Zimmerman was charged in 2006 with battery and resisting an officer without violence. The felony charge was dropped to a misdemeanor after he took a pretrial diversion program.
A grand jury will hear the case in Sanford on Tuesday, April 10, to determine if Zimmerman should be indicted for shooting Trayvon.
"We're not asking for an eye for an eye, we're asking for justice," Trayvon's father said.
Trayvon's mother has filed paperwork to trademark the phrases "I Am Trayvon" and "Justice for Trayvon," to protect and use the phrases to help other families in similar situations, according to wire reports.
