Why Raw Foods Increase Health and Vitality
Raw food keeps you healthy & active
Most healthy diets involve the ingestion of foods in their raw form. Normally these are fruits and vegetables. There is a good reason why many of the diets that work involve meals full of raw foods. It is for the same reason that people who lead healthy lifestyles eat loads of raw foods every day.
Human beings first started out only eating raw foods. Cooking was done primarily to meat and meat often times was harder to find that fruits and vegetable or edible plants. They enjoyed healthy lives and were not plagued with many of the problems we have today. The body is made to process raw foods, not cooked and processed foods. As a result, it actually may view the cooked foods as an invading force. In other words, it either gets rid of it fast or it binds and stores it away from vital spots in order to prevent damage. This translates to a severe loss of nutritional value and a host of other issues like weight increase, and lower energy levels as well as premature aging to name a few.
Raw foods take longer to digest, as a result the body has time to go through what it needs and what it does not. It does not see this type of food as an invader so it is less likely to store within the body. This gives a two-fold benefit. The first is that it is easier to maintain a solid level of energy throughout the day. The second is that the body is provided with exactly what it needs.
Raw foods require more energy to digest, because they are complex and unprocessed. This requires the body to work harder; it helps to keep toxins from forming due to lack of work within the gastrointestinal system. Raw foods also provide a good source of fiber, which prevents toxemia from occurring by maintaining good bowel health.
Raw foods helps to eliminate toxins from our body
Toxemia is behind a number of conditions, skin problems, headaches, lack of energy. It is caused by build up within the intestines, these substances, which are not, eliminated properly end up being leeched into the body, into the blood and all through the body. Raw foods, something our body is made to process, helps to keep these toxic substances from building up.
They also help to eliminate the build up of toxins caused by stress. These days everyone is running around at a fast pace, everything must be done yesterday and the stress is tremendous. This causes the body to function poorly. Proper diet is one way to provide everything we need to maintain balance, mental clarity and our energy levels preventing us from being overwhelmed by the constant bombardment of outside and inside stressors. Maintaining a healthy body that is working at is best is the best way to lead a happy life.
People, who eat raw foods, are healthier, happier, have more energy
Vitality and health are taken from the foods we eat. Their nutrients, in essence their life flows into us and we in turn are granted life. Therefore, if we are killing our food by cooking does that not in turn mean we are killing ourselves? If you take, a look at the nutritional values of cooked foods and then looks at those same foods in the raw form. You will notice some extremely different values. This is because the process of cooking food actually kills it. As a result, we end up bringing into our bodies none of the nutrition that we need.
People, who eat raw foods, are healthier, happier, have more energy. They also suffer less from common illness such as colds, flu's and breathing ailments. They also tend to have stronger immune systems and are stronger overall battling off infections and what illnesses do come their way quickly and without the body draining effects. This is because they are eating healthy raw foods packed with everything the body needs to run at its best.
Raw foods maintain healthy skin
People who eat raw foods also enjoy the benefits of looking young. The reason being is because part of what makes most people look old and feel old is the foods they eat and the toxins that are formed and stored within the body. By eating raw foods and gaining those nutrients our bodies are lacking it is easy to maintain healthy skin and hair, keep wrinkles away, and even keep the skin firm and supple well into older age.
By eating raw foods, you are bringing life into the body and in doing so increasing and maintaining your own life. Raw foods also help the body burn fat, which can help to maintain weight even in a lifestyle that is primarily lacking in exercise. Cooked foods take little energy to process because they are simple shoved through the system. Very little real value is absorbed. Raw foods however a packed with nutrients the body wants. It will work harder to obtain those valuable items and work harder to process them. This means more calorie burning activities. It also means that you can eat less by staying full longer.
Raw foods because they take a longer amount of time to process, and give you more value for the amount you are eating, enables the body to feel full longer and need less food in order to obtain the same values. This is also, what helps to impart health and vitality to the body from the raw foods that we eat.
Ingesting raw foods
There are a number of ways to ingest raw foods. You do not always have to eat a salad or munch on some vegetable sticks. You can actually receive the same benefits of raw foods by juicing. Juicing creates enjoyable beverages from fruits and vegetables, which impart the benefits of raw foods in a quick and easy form. They are great for meal supplements when you are on the go or a quick pick up and do far more for you than coffee. They help to give the body the same health and vitality that can be received from other forms of raw foods.

Love it. I just published a hub on green smoothies, which is one of the easiest ways to transition to raw.
This is a very good hub
I really enjoyed it and i agree that raw food is very benefical to health.
Love this one as well, Theresa. I think a raw food diet is very beneficial for good health. I realize that many people struggle to attain this, so sometimes I'll recommend another method of eating that might be better suited to their lifestyles and preferences.
Thanks again.
Very informative Hub! That was a great write up on raw foods. I like carrots, tomatoes, cucumber and onion in vegetables and eat it daily. I also eat papaya, apple, gauva in fruits too.
Everyone has the habit to eat raw foods,especially carrots.
Great information! I've heard about the benefits of raw food before and really wish I could develop a stomach for it. I do at least prefer most things cooked fairly al-dente, but the only things I like RAW are fruits and a few veggies like lettuce and celery. I even get my sushi seared. I've never thought of myself as a picky eater, but it turns out there are quite a few things, even things most people like raw, like tomatoes and carrots, that I only like prepared in certain ways, and those ways usually involve cooking. :-/
great information here, thanks.

We have been using Stripe to collect payment information on Jotform for a couple months now. As of December 18 Jotform no longer creates customers on Stripe when payment information is added to our forms. I was not aware of the issue until today.
I have tried the following:
Removing and re-adding the Stripe payment integration to the form
Clearing Form Cache
Switching to API Keys instead of Stripe Connect
Switching to Stripe Connect instead of API Keys
Upgrading the Stripe API to the latest version
Creating new Stripe API Keys.
I have confirmed the "Create Account on Stripe" setting.
We use Stripe on two forms and they have both stopped creating customer accounts.
Thank you for your time and help with this issue.
- JotForm Supportashwin_dAnswered on December 31, 2014 at 02:05 AM
Hello Larry,
Upon checking your form, I found that you only have one free product in your Stripe question. Since the Stripe Payment question is not mark as required, user can just skip the question without any payment input. I did check your last few submission records and I believe this is the issue you are having. Please check the screenshot below:
In the above submissions, customers seems to have not input the payment details and that is the reason why it is not captured in submission and also not in your Stripe account as well.
There are submission where the payment information is captured. Please check the screenshot below:
I believe these customer must have been created in your Stripe account. Can you please check and confirm on this?
I would also suggest you to mark your Stripe question as required and that should most likely solve your problem. Please check the screenshot below:
We will wait for your response.
Thank you!
- SkidmoreAnswered on December 31, 2014 at 06:19 AM
Thank you for the response. I do not believe that marking the question required is the issue. Here is a link to a different form that gets a lot more use:
Since this form gets more submissions it might be more helpful in troubleshooting the issue. As you can see none of the submissions since December 18th have created a Stripe Customer ID. I have have tried to answer the question myself a couple times and was unable to create an account in Stripe.
Below is a screenshot from our Stripe account, as you can see only one account has been created since the 18th and that was done manually by me within Stripe to test the service.
Thanks again for your help. I look forward to resolving this issue.
- KadeJMAnswered on December 31, 2014 at 10:27 AM
I see that you're still having an issue with this and that you have additionally provided us with a screenshot of the related problem from within your stripe account. However, after looking at the screenshot we're unable to view it.
I noticed that the link is broken. Can you please try to reupload it so that we can get a better idea of the situation happening on your end? You can use our upload tool here if that is easier.
Once we have that we'll gladly investigate this furthermore and thank you in advance.
- SkidmoreAnswered on December 31, 2014 at 10:30 AM
I uploaded the screenshot above using the upload tool. Can you view it now?
- KadeJMAnswered on December 31, 2014 at 12:00 PM
Yes, we're able to view it now thank you. We'll reference that and try to test this to check on your mentioned issue some more and then we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
- SkidmoreAnswered on January 02, 2015 at 10:40 AM
I was able to resolve the issue by switching from a "Free Product" to a "Free Subscription" in the setup. We can now successfully create customers in Stripe.
I'm not sure what broke the original integration since it was working for several months until the 18th of this month. If you have any information related to the issue I'd like to know but it seems the workaround I am using works.
- KadeJMAnswered on January 02, 2015 at 12:43 PM
Please accept my apologies for not getting back to you sooner about this issue. Anyhow, When I was testing this before at the time I was unable to replicate it at first so I needed a little bit more time and I've been able to replicate it now.
The reason why it works for your subscription when set to free versus your product is because the product needs to be charged otherwise it doesn't count so that information would be ignored by it instead of sending it into stripe. Whereas the subscription on the other hand can be marked free at first and then charged later since a subscription is ongoing.
I had two labeled "odie" and "garfield". Odie was marked as free subscription and comes through regardless and Garfield was a free product which gets ignored as you have already noticed on your end with your own products.
I think this was the way it was programmed to send the information only if there is a charge to be expected or taken so I'm not sure that there's a way to force that.

Salted Bourbon Caramel
Snake & Butterfly, $6/4
Snake & Butterfly, $6/4
Generally speaking, the chocolate world is divided into two camps: chocolate makers, who turn cacao into edible chocolate, and chocolatiers, who turn pre-made chocolate into confections or bars. California-based Snake & Butterfly is a rare breed, an artisan "bean-to-bar" chocolate maker that also crafts exquisite confections (a "bean-to-bonbon" maker?).
One of the annual rituals of my childhood was biting into a neighbor's homemade bourbon balls, then opting to eat only the chocolate shell; every year, I tried again, hoping I would have matured enough to appreciate the candy's boozy center, but no dice.
I guess I must be a full-on grown-up now, because I could happily eat one of Snake & Butterfly's salted bourbon caramels every day of the week. The bitter chocolate shell encapsulates a core of creamy liquid caramel as salty as barroom banter and potent enough to knock me a few inches sideways. Think of it as an all-in-one dessert shot.

Four Lessons from the CFA Society New York 80th Anniversary Dinner
Much has changed since 1937, when a small group of security analysts first met for lunch in a private dining room of the New York Chamber of Commerce, but the integral role the CFA Society New York has played in the ongoing evolution of the investment industry has remained constant.
It was from that humble luncheon that CFA Society New York was born. And among its founding members was none other than Benjamin Graham, the "father of securities analysts."
At its 80th Anniversary dinner last week, CFA Institute's largest society celebrated its storied past, but also looked to the future, with speakers offering their insights on where the markets and the profession are heading in both the near and far term.
In his address, CFA Institute president and CEO Paul Smith, CFA, noted just a few of the Society's numerous and critical contributions to finance: CFA Society New York developed and enforced the first professional code of ethics for the investment industry, published the inaugural issue of the CFA Institute Financial Analysts Journal®, created the CFA Institute Research Challenge for finance students across the globe, and founded the organization we now know as CFA Institute.
The dinner also recognized the individual contributions of Society members, with Roger W. Ferguson, Jr., president and CEO of TIAA, receiving the Irving Kahn Lifetime Achievement Award; and Bruce Richards, chairman and CEO of Marathon Asset Management, and his wife, the filmmaker and philanthropist Avis Richards, earning the inaugural Humanitarian Award.
So what were key takeaways from the evening? I distilled four lessons from the speakers about the economy and the future of finance that are worth remembering.
1. "The economy is moving forward."
This was the highlight from Richards's keynote. He said 2017 has been a good year for growth worldwide. In fact, all 35 member countries of the OECD are expanding for the first time since 2007. While another recession is inevitable, Richards doesn't anticipate one in the next couple of years.
Lee Spelman, CFA, managing director and head of US equity client portfolio managers at J.P. Morgan, echoed this sentiment. Earnings are strong and expected to be in the double digits both this year and next, she said. "The market is in synchronized growth."
Richards thinks former US Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke and central bankers around the world are responsible for the current economic conditions.
2. Despite current economic growth, there is reason for caution.
The speakers also focused on the factors that could influence the markets, among them low volatility; inflation; elections in the United States, China, and elsewhere; quantitative easing (QE); and fiscal policy changes
The Trump administration's tax reform initiative may be critical, according to Jeffrey Rosenberg, CFA, managing director at BlackRock Investment Institute,
"If it's done well, it could be additive to a number of companies in a number of sectors," he said. Nevertheless, he expressed concern about the potential for policy error.
Given all these factors, the related uncertainty could endure for a while, even with robust economic expansion.
"I don't see investor euphoria," Spelman said.
3. Traditional analysts still bring great value.
In today's era of machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and other technological disruptions, Spelman said she often fields questions about the future of financial analysis and whether traditional analysts may become obsolete. But she isn't worried.
Traditional analysis and the CFA charter are more relevant today than ever before, she said, because the skills they impart, particularly the ethical component, are vital to the future of the industry.
While firms today are hiring atypical candidates, "There will be different times for quantitative versus fundamental," Spelman said.
Rosenberg agreed. "There's a value to new tools," he said, but fundamental and quantitative analysis can co-exist. What distinguishes them are the ethics, behavioral nuances, and training in standards.
4. We must all be learners.
With so many factors affecting the investment industry, how can we best serve our clients? By feeding our curiosity, learning more, and evolving our thinking.
"We've all been forced to turn ourselves into learners," Rosenberg said.
That sentiment was what resonated the most with me. Adapting to rapidly changing conditions, client preferences, and new trends will be crucial for the industry in the coming years.
In fact, the "Future State of the Investment Profession" study found that over the next five years there will be a growing need for new skills and ethics and professionalism training, as well as new-era leaders who can articulate a compelling vision for their firms.
Ultimately, the core of our profession's success will be continuing education.
That will not only contribute to a healthy investment industry but will help ensure that on its 160th anniversary, CFA Society New York will have much more to celebrate.

For some of us, taking a vacation may not sound like a "milestone", but it can be, especially if that vacation is a life-altering trip to Africa or Europe. Or your first official "family" vacation that you hope will become a yearly tradition. Or your much anticipated and long awaited honeymoon. Or better yet, maybe it's an elopement to Vegas or some desolate island. Whether it's a momentous occasion or just a weekend jaunt, money is always involved. Don't go into debt planning your next vacation. Consider us your financial travel guide. We've outlined for you travel smart tips and savings ideas for you to use on your next vacation.
Have Money, Will Travel
The first step to reaching your dream destination is establishing a vacation fund or including "vacation" in your budget. By giving yourself time to save and making it part of your monthly budget, you are guaranteed a better time and are able to take the kind of vacation you really want. When saving for vacation, don't just save enough to cover your accommodations (hotel). Instead, factor in travel expenses both to and from and while you're there (flight, gas, bus, taxi, etc.). Also add in expenses for your food and other little things you may want to splurge on like a spa experience, souvenirs or even a new camera to capture the memories. Try to imagine each day and what it holds for you financially. If you plan on taking in a baseball game or visiting the local amusement park or zoo, add the costs into your savings goals before you even book your room. You may find as you start saving there are some things you can live without and some you can't in order to make your trip worthwhile. And if you're taking a family vacation, ask each family member what they expect from the trip. Figure in any costs they may incur and develop a family savings plan. Get everyone involved in the saving process, including the kids. The cost of the vacation shouldn't rely on just one person. If it does, that person, which may be you, will probably worry more about the costs than actually enjoying the vacation itself.
Shameless Plug: For many of us, saving money is a challenge. With our U Name It Savings Account Program, you can set up individual savings accounts and personalize them to your specific savings goals. So, if it's a beach trip you long for, set up a "Beach Bound" account and feel good knowing the money going in and out of this account is for your beach trip.
Travel Tip: If you're traveling outside the United States, remember in your early planning stages to consider the exchange rate. In some places you may live like a king or queen with very little savings in your vacation fund. In other places, you may find yourself coming up short midway through your vacation. Checking the exchange rates early on also gives you an advantage. You may even decide to change your destination. For example, Italy and Greece are both beautiful and offer a Mediterranean experience, but Italy is less expensive, affording you the opportunity to either take a longer vacation, save less than originally planned or indulge in other vacation luxuries like a first class seat or a more expensive hotel.
Friendly Reminder: If you're traveling outside the United States, let your credit union know, especially if you are using your debit card. Your debit card usage is monitored as a protective measure against fraudulent activity. If a transaction happens in an area uncharacteristic of your shopping patterns, it will raise a red flag.
Bargain Shopping
No matter how much you have in your vacation fund, there are always ways to find what you want for less, especially when it comes to traveling. It never hurts to bargain shop. Here are a few tips to get you started:
Check airfares regularly. In today's economy, price cutting is becoming more the "norm". There are specials announced daily. Plus, look into different routes. Enduring a layover may be worth it in the long run. Plus, you might even have time to catch a sight or two you didn't plan for originally.
Cool Hookup: Bookmark these sites that compare prices and alert you via e-mail if a selected fare has changed: farecompare.com, yapta.com, travelocity.com.
Rent a house or a condo if traveling with a large group or family. Renting can be a lot cheaper than paying for the same number of beds in a hotel.
Choose a bargain destination. Like we mentioned before, check foreign exchange rates. Countries with lower currencies than the U.S. or with faltering currencies are a steal at any time of the year.
Cool Hookup: To check out the latest rates and convert currency via an online conversion calculator, visit www.x-rates.com/.
Travel outside of "peak times". Go to the beach in early May or in September and go to the mountains in February or March. This will ensure you get the off-season rate for your accommodations. During these times it's still warm at the beach, and in February or March, it's still cold in the mountains. By simply waiting a month, for example when school starts, you may be able to enjoy the same great trip but at a much lower cost.
Research "secondary" destinations. Pick a popular resort or city on a map, and then move your finger a bit. Nearby towns may offer the same experience for less. And if you're interested in taking a cruise, look into some of the less popular island trips. You may find you still enjoy the island experience but with less tourists.
Book fixed-cost trips. All-inclusive programs that lump meals and activities with the room price keep costs down. With all-inclusive resorts, you have everything at your fingertips. There is no need to venture out unless you just want to and even then, the resort may have popular excursions incorporated in your package.
Cook Hookup: Disney World is probably one of the most popular vacation hot spots in the United States. Click here to hear how one Avadian member planned her family trip to Disney World.
The Thrifty Traveler's Itinerary
It's always good to have a game plan when planning a trip, especially if you are traveling with friends and family. That way you won't waste valuable time discussing what you should do and when you should do it. And, it's better for your wallet too! In fact, you can actually start saving money on your trip prior to even stepping out your front door. Here are some tips for thrifty travelers:
Find deals when dining out. Eating out is a must while on vacation. Search restaurant.com by zip code to purchase discounted certificates for thousands of places. Then map out where you want to go and plan on how much you want to spend.
Steer clear of the minibar. You may be surprised by the "not-so-mini" tab when it's time to check out. It's usually a $2.50 to $6 flat fee per day. Bring your own drinks instead.
Go sight-seeing at home. Look up the cost of museums and public transport in case you can buy daily, weekly, or combination passes ahead of time for a discounted price. Use the internet or a guidebook to find free and inexpensive attractions.
Plan a grocery trip. Bring groceries from home with you or visit the local grocery store once you reach your destination. Plan on dining in a few times while you're on vacation. If you're driving, pack soft drinks, water and juice. This way you are not purchasing drinks from the room or a restaurant. Keep the drinks cold with either a cooler or a water bottle.
Pack light. If you know you are one of those travelers who must buy a souvenir at every stop, then pack light. Leave room in your suitcase to carry those items back with you instead of paying shipping charges to have it sent to your home.
Fun Fact: 26% of people avoid the hotel bellman so they don't have to tip him.

Manage Your Money
Decide what is the best way to pay for expenses while on your vacation. For example, if you're traveling overseas, you probably don't want to carry large amounts of cash with you. Instead, determine if you need to take travelers' checks or an "accepted-anywhere" credit card. In addition, check with your credit card company for any hidden overseas usage fees. Also be aware of the costs of ATMs. There are some places, like Las Vegas, where they may charge an ATM usage fee as high as $10.
Shameless Plug: If you sign up for our Choice Checking account, you will enjoy great benefits and bonus features for you to choose from to add to your account. One of our most popular features is nationwide ATM refunds. That's right, use any ATM, and we will refund up to a total of $10 per month directly into your checking account, including Avadian's fee. Simply save your ATM receipts from other financial institutions and return them to us within 90 days of your transaction date. (Transactions include inquiries, transfers and withdrawals from savings or checking. Refer to Choice Checking designation form for ATM fee refund rules.)
When making reservations, you will need to use your credit card to hold your room. Make sure you use the best card for you. Check to see how long they will hold the room on your credit card without actually charging your card. And if you need to cancel for any reason, ask how much notice you need to give in order to avoid charges or to lose any money, such as a deposit. Also ask when they will charge your card, so if you want to change your payment method once you arrive, you may do so.Shameless Plug: When traveling, use your Avadian Rewards Credit Card. You can earn points on your purchases to be redeemed for future travel rewards on airfare and hotels. In addition, you will enjoy a great low rate and Visa's Zero Liability feature protecting you from fraudulent activity!
If you're using your debit card, be sure you're protecting yourself by signing every time for a purchase and by informing your credit union about your trip so it doesn't show up as suspicious activity. For security, carry a money belt with you. (A money belt wraps around you and is skinny enough to be worn underneath your clothes.) It's one of the safest ways to carry your money and other important items such as your debit card, credit card, passport or I.D.
Travel Tip: Unfortunately, when you go on vacation, life doesn't come to a stop. You still have to pay your bills and manage your money. While on vacation, you may also want to check your account from time to time. Whether it's internet banking, online bill payment or mobile banking, Avadian Credit Union gives you the capability of doing all these things while on the go.
All Work Should Add Up To All Play
Once you've done your homework on your vacation, relax and have fun. If you can't afford your dream vacation right now, plan on a "staycation", meaning find something locally to do that is fun and inexpensive. You may be surprised at what you are missing that is right in your backyard. And start saving now to afford your dream vacation next year.

Today in the newspaper, I read that Rajkumar Santoshi is planning a film on the play, Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya, Woh Jamiya Nahin. I've watched this play twice, once in the Jai Narain Vyas Auditorium (popularly known as Town Hall) in Jodhpur and then at IIM Indore. Both the times, I was very much carried away by the theme and the characters; not to take away any credit from the artists.
Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhya (placed in the times of partition) is both an emotional story as well as a strong comment on the then prevalent socio-political scene. It starts with a character named Sikandar Mirza who migrates to Pakistan, and is allotted a Haweli by the custodian. He and his family are shocked to find the old hindu landlady Ratan ki Maa – still in the house who didn't leave for India like many others did. A victim of hate, violence and tragedy, she had lost everything but not the ability to give love and affection. The story charts the relationship of Ratan ki Maa with the Mirza family at one level. At another level, the story shows us how goons try to use religion against Ratan ki Maa for ulterior motives and how priests are wood to get legitimacy for their intentions and actions. The story progresses on these lines and it is really difficult to capture the feel of the play in a blog post, and it becomes impossible when a mortal blogger like me attempts to put-through an immortal story. Anyways, to continue with the story, one day the old lady dies and this is when the narrative reaches its climax demonstrating the clash of greed and fundamentalism versus sanity and love for fellow human beings.
Jis Lahore nahin dekhya is a poignant story of the dark time called partition; a partition that stood testimony to hatred, intolerance and fanaticism; thousands were attacked and killed, a generation was rendered homeless with a total loss of national identity. The story tried to define what is the pain of losing your place, losing your identity and what is the pain of falling prey to the dividing mentality of few people at the top. The story explains home as a place which has all your precious memories, a place where you feel at peace, and a place you would never want to give up for anything because you are so deeply connected to it that you can't probably imagine yourself without that place.
Well, I found the play a parallel (though not-so-brilliant) to the current sentiment against so called 'Non-Mumbaikars'. The other day I was talking to someone who born and brought up in Maharashtra. Not only this but according to him, whenever the flight arrives at the Mumbai airport and he inhales the air filled with smoke and dust he feel that he is finally at home. He has read not only about Shivaji but he is also a great fan of pula deshpande and for him, gateway is the world's best place to hang out with his girl friend. So when someone says that he is an outsider, he feels not only hurt but also confused. He is not sure why he is still considered a Madrasi when the language he is most comfortable with (after English) is Marathi. He doesn't understand how Mumbai is not his home despite the fact that his memories from school to college to job to his sister's marriage, all have been associated to this place. What I believe is, this is as much his home as theirs; his ancestors not living here doesn't dilute the fact that he has spent the most precious years of his life here and he feels as much for this land as any 'Marathi Manoos' does. In fact what I believe is, even if somebody has not spent his entire life in Mumbai deserves to call this place his home if he thinks so.
And most importantly he (and a lot many so-called-outsiders in mumbai) belongs to India and thus belongs to Maharashtra. Whichever part of the country I go to I never feel lost and actually I should not. The dirty roads, the narrow by-lanes, the beggars, the buses, people helping you out with directions, the chai/pan shops and even the lecherous men :) It's all the same. So how can someone stop me from living in any part of the country when the whole is mine!
This is a question which may not look very relevant today, in the presence of issues like terrorism and economic recession but its significance is growing with every passing day. This is important and equally alarming because it forms the basic foundation of a nation. If we can't allow a person from other state to earn his/her livelihood in ours, then we can't be a part of the same nation. The roots of this nation are shaking, this is the time to think and act.

Closing Statement from the President of Carnegie Deli
Along with my daughter Sarri and in honor of my late father Milton, I would like to sincerely thank all of our loyal patrons, – tourists, dignitaries, and New Yorkers alike- who have visited Carnegie Deli over the past 80 years. Since my father took over the Deli in 1976, this has been a second home to me and it has been a true privilege and an honor to serve you. Although this has been an incredibly difficult decision to officially close Carnegie Deli New York (854 7th Avenue) tonight at midnight, we thank you for your letters, notes, visits and sharing your stories.
The Carnegie Deli looks forward to expanding wholesale and retail operations and welcoming you to the other licensed locations at Madison Square Garden, The Mirage in Las Vegas, NV, Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, PA and during the US Open Tennis Championships in Flushing, Queens.
Our family-owned and operated meat processing facility and bakery in New Jersey will continue Carnegie Deli's celebrated legacy, by supplying the other locations and selling select products and merchandise directly to the public online at www.carnegiedeli.com.
Thank you again and we wish you all a very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year!

There have been many untraditional film adaptations of Shakespeare's, but few have been as unorthodox as this one, which plays out as a star-crossed romance between rival Satmar Jewish sects on the mean streets of Williamsburg (and Coney Island) in what's billed as the first mumblecore film in Yiddish.
Romeo is played by Lazer Weiss and Juliet (who has a tasteful nude scene) by Melissa Weisz, a real-life couple with palpable chemistry. Like most of the cast, they're nonprofessional actors who dropped out of the Orthodox Jewish community but continue speaking Yiddish.
"Romeo and Juliet in Yiddish" also includes a more awkward framing story in English. Eve Annenberg (a professional actress who wrote and directed the film) plays a middle-aged secular Jew who hires a group of Orthodox-dropout grifters to help her "update" Shakespeare's play into Yiddish and in the process gets in touch with her roots.

SEATTLE (AP) Former top prospect Jesus Montero was recalled by the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, his first stint in the majors since a 50-game suspension after being connected to baseball's Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug investigation.
Seattle gave Montero another chance in the majors after outfielder Michael Saunders was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder injury. Montero was one of the limited choices Seattle had at the Triple-A level for a short-term bat.
Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said Montero would be mostly used against left-handed pitchers and as a designated hitter, but is an option to play in the field at first base.
''I think he's trying to get things back together. He's been working hard and he's actually been swinging the bat better than the numbers indicated down there,'' McClendon said. ''For me he was the logical choice. ... It made sense to bring this young man and give him an opportunity.''
Montero was the centerpiece of a trade before the 2012 season that sent pitcher Michael Pineda to New York and brought Montero to Seattle. He was a top prospect in the Yankees organization because of his potential as a hitter but has not matched that expectation in Seattle.
In his time with the Mariners, Montero is hitting .252 with 18 homers and 71 RBIs in 164 career games. All of those came before Montero was suspended. He was sent down to the minors last season when he was hitting just .208 and that was followed by the suspension and knee surgery to repair torn meniscus.
He didn't endear himself to McClendon and Seattle's new coaching staff after showing up for spring training out of shape. He apologized when he arrived at spring training for his suspension, but being out of shape put him behind from the start.
Montero said cardio work has been a big part of his regime in the minors, along with learning first base. Montero was hitting .270 with eight homers and 15 doubles at Triple-A, although he had just one homer in his past month.
''I feel great to be here. I feel like I've earned it,'' Montero said. ''I feel like I learned something. Now I want to be here forever.''

By Sabrina Samone, TMP
I have to wonder did anyone outside of the LGBTQI and our allies even notice today was IDAHOBIT. Driving around, flipping through sirus xm radio, no one was talking about it. Flipping the remote, I never heard it mentioned. Did the world stop anywhere and decided to be kind to the LGBT community? How many in the community even knew it was such a day, our day of respite from hate.
This day of I.D.A.H. & Transphobia is held every year as a rallying event offering an opportunity for people to get together and reach out to one another, many LGBT organizations have been highlighting this day, as a coming together event. We should also start within the community by acknowledging it's actually IDAHOBIT day, the b for biphobia. The fact Biphobia was ignored on facebook post, news articles and blogs, only reminds us that even we, the LGBT community have a way to go with phobias. Totally ignoring a group is a form of exclusion.
The main purpose of IDAHOBIT, is to raise awareness, which in turn provides an opportunity to take action in dialogue with the media. Oh the media, those supposedly college educated, unbiased, free speech journalist like those at the Cleveland Plain, whose coverage of the brutal murder of someone's child, friend, sister, Cemia Acoff began with their title "oddly dressed body found in Olmsted Township pond identified" and continued on a number of occasions to refer to a trans-female as he and him. Even after outpours from the Trans community, an apology or any corrective language is still being ignored.
Even today on IDAHOBIT day, the global facebook page for the event experienced a vicious attack on their website causing the page to be temporarily inaccessible. We face this way too often, and I'd like to say what's good for the goose is good for the gandor and serve it back at them, but fighting ignorance with ignorance only gives birth to morons. Most LGBTI people have to deal with homophobic or transphobic harassment, verbal abuse and many have been physically attacked just for being who they are. As a result of homophobia and discrimination, LGBT young people are more likely to start using drugs, self harm or attempt suicide.
There is always hope, last year, very few countries have passed legislation on the federal level that would include fully fledged legal recognition of LGBT couples in marriage, adoption, inheritance, workplace protection and insurance rights. So far this year, several state have joined the ranks of those offering marriage equality, to date the total is 12. Many states, and proudly my own here in S.C. are working on laws to protect LGBT people from discrimination in the workplace and in housing.
Yet while we hold our hands out for equality and for an end to homophobia, transphobia and biphobia, there are great divides still within the LGBT communities. Transgender people of color not feeling included in the great gender awakening. There are heterosexual Trans people feeling pushed aside by the gay and lesbian transgender community who view any celebration of Trans-female or Trans-male beauty as overtly sexual and therefore a negative. Also Trans-men who feel separated by gender from Trans-women and vice versa. Sadly there are still Gay and Lesbians in power who view Transgender as a choice, all while screaming they were born this way and I will add sad when the phobia is reversed and those within the Trans community not being open to LG people and cross dressers and all of us seem to have ignored the B and I and Q today. Don't you think they view that as a form of phobia?
To me, asking for the world to cease Homophobia and Transphobia just seems to be a very steep hill to climb when we're not totally being honest and inclusive to all within our community. Obviously it is a great cause and should be supported, but maybe one of the easiest ways to acknowledge the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), is when you head out this weekend to the clubs, bars or any social events with large gatherings of LGBTQIA friends and give a hug, pat on the back or acknowledgement of your support to someone in the community…that is not like you.
Beautiful Videos supporting an end to discrimination, the second being from the Anti-Defamation League and is powerful and moving to imagine, great peace makers of our time still with us.

Dr. Lindsey Mansueto invites the community to celebrate National Chiropractic Health Month on Thursday, Oct. 17, at 3 p.m., in their state-of-the-art facility at 105 Highway 31, Suite 104, in Flemington.
There's something for everyone including food from Pork Chops Barbeque, drinks, games and prizes. For the kids there will be hands-on activities including an obstacle course and creating a custom vegetable skeleton. As for the adults they will have complimentary on-site chair massage therapy and Mansueto will raffle gift certificates every hour.
To learn more about the event, call 908-806-3040 or find the event on Facebook at Flemington Chiropractic Center.
During National Chiropractic Health Month this fall Mansueto and other doctors of chiropractic across the country will promote the importance of joint health and the vital role physical activity plays in keeping joints healthy and pain free. This year's theme—"Get Vertical"—focuses on getting off the couch or out of the office chair, and standing or moving more each day.
Knowing someone with joint pain or joint replacement surgery—particularly involving hips and knees— is commonplace.
What many do not know, is that simple lifestyle changes can help prevent the need for this type of surgery and keep joints healthier longer.
"No one is doomed to invasive joint replacement surgery in order to remain active and pain-free well into one's golden years," says Mansueto. "A doctor of chiropractic can help by providing exercise and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional advice, and natural approaches to managing aches and pains. Just a few healthy lifestyle changes, over time, can make a real difference."
In honor of National Chiropractic Health Month, Mansueto offers these tips to help you get vertical and stay pain-free:
— Stand up: Office dwellers can look into using standing desks or treadmill desks; but if you're stuck sitting all day, stretch the legs with a short walk about every 20 to 30 minutes.
— Take micro-breaks: Frequently stretch your neck, arms and wrists, back and legs. Simple stretches include neck rotations, fist clenches, arm dangles and shoulder shrugs.
— Get moving: Aim for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes of exercise three to five days a week.
— Eat right: A healthy diet—rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats—can help reduce inflammation and joint pain. Also limit red meat, refined sugar and white flour. Just a few simple changes can have a positive impact on health.

Last week residents in the vicinity of the Green Lane Public Footpath Crossing received a letter from Network Rail stating that with effect from 10th December 2016 all trains between the hours of 6am and midnight would be sounding their horns as they approached the Green Lane crossing as an increased safety measure. (See below also)
Understandably this created much distress at the prospect of train horns sounding at least every 15 minutes throughout the day and most of the night. Many residents wrote to us at the ARA, and also wrote to Network Rail expressing dismay at these draconian measures.
Today, Network Rail have issued a strong apology saying the original letter should NOT have been sent and blamed a communication error. To quote Reggie Perrin's brother-in-law it "was a bit of a cock-up on the communication front.".
Network Rails letter of apology is below in full with also a link to the original.
Please though be aware you will still hear the occasional horn blow if, for example there are Rail staff working on the line, or the driver finds it necessary to sound a warning. This though is no different to what occurs now.
5th December 2016
Dear all,
Network Rail has received a number of queries regarding the proposed alterations to the night time quiet period (NTQP) from Ashtead councillors and residents in the last week. I would like to make clear that these alterations will not in fact affect any of the level crossings in the Ashtead area. The NTQP letter was sent erroneously by our communication team, and the times at which trains sound their horns will not change. I would like to apologise for the distress that this has caused to local residents, and can confirm that I am investigating why this error occurred, and how we can prevent such an incident occurring again. Please be aware that this is not related to any other projects taking place in the Ashtead area, and is simply a result of human error.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer a brief update regarding the level crossing risk reduction scheme at Green Lane footpath crossing. Network Rail is continuing to liaise with schools in the area to organise a series of railway safety workshops, the first of which will be held at Barnett Wood School. Furthermore, we are well aware of the facility the crossing provides to the local community, and the safety of everyone who comes into contact with the railway is our highest priority and we have a responsibility to ensure this. To that end, we intend to work closely with Surrey County Council to address both the legal status and mitigation measures of the crossing. I hope to provide a clearer and more detailed update in the New Year.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Stewart Firth

Serious incident at the crossing
The Residents' Association has been informed that there was a serious incident recently at the Green Lane Crossing. A Southern train driver had to apply the brakes on his train because of children playing "chicken" across the railway. As a consequence of being distracted the driver overshot a red signal. This in itself is a serious consequence and a reason for disciplinary action against the experienced driver.
If any resident sees children playing this stupid and dangerous game please telephone the Police.

This lovely little display breakout is the best way to add a small, colorful and bright display to any project. Since the display uses 4-wire SPI to communicate and has its own pixel-addressable frame buffer, it can be used with every kind of microcontroller. Even a very small one with low memory and few pins available!
The 1.8" display has 128x160 color pixels. Unlike the low cost "Nokia 6110" and similar LCD displays, which are CSTN type and thus have poor color and slow refresh, this display is a true TFT! The TFT driver (ST7735R) can display full 18-bit color (262,144 shades!). And the LCD will always come with the same driver chip so there's no worries that your code will not work from one to the other.
The breakout has the TFT display soldered on (it uses a delicate flex-circuit connector) as well as a ultra-low-dropout 3.3V regulator and a 3/5V level shifter so you can use it with 3.3V or 5V power and logic. They also had a little space so they placed a microSD card holder so you can easily load full color bitmaps from a FAT16/FAT32 formatted microSD card. The microSD card is not included, but you can pick one up here.
Of course, Adafruit wouldn't just leave you with a datasheet and a "good luck!" - Adafruit have written a full open source graphics library that can draw pixels, lines, rectangles, circles, text and bitmaps as well as example code and a wiring tutorial. The code is written for Arduino but can be easily ported to your favorite microcontroller!
Technical Details
EagleCAD, Arduino library code, Fritzing and datasheets available in the product tutorial
- 1.8" diagonal LCD TFT display
- 128x160 resolution, 18-bit (262,144) color

- 5V compatible! Use with 3.3V or 5V logic
- Onboard 3.3V @ 150mA LDO regulator
- 2 white LED backlight, transistor connected so you can PWM dim the backlight
- 1x10 header for easy breadboarding
- 4 x 0.9"/2mm mounting holes in corners
- Overall dimensions: 1.35" x 2.2" x 0.25" (34mm x 56mm x 6.5mm)
- Current draw is based on LED backlight usage: with full backlight draw is ~50mA

20 Health Innovations That Will Blow Your Mind
The ever-accelerating pace of technological innovation around the world continues to blow our minds. Nowhere is this truer than in the medical field, where things that were never thought possible are suddenly becoming realities!
Thanks to a number of mind-blowing health innovations, the paraplegic have a way to walk again, people with Parkinson's disease can stop their hands from shaking, and so much more. There's even a way for the colorblind to now see the colors that they've lost!
Related Topics (Ads):
On the following list, we're going to share some of the most mind-blowing health innovations that have already become realities and a few that are just around the corner. If this is the current state of innovation in the medical field, we can't wait to see how things are going to change even more in the years to come.
1. A New Skin
While looking into ways to improve bandages, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created something even better: a second skin. Created by combing two chemicals, this "second skin" (dubbed XPL) can withstand moisture, abrasion and general wear. At present, the researchers believe this "second skin" could be used to treat wrinkles, potentially making it the Holy Grail of cosmetic products.
2. Spray Bandages
If the researchers at MIT failed to create a new alternative to the bandage, then researchers at the University of Maryland have succeeded. They've developed a compound that can be sprayed onto a wound. After being sprayed, the material quickly hardens and doubles in size, quickly preventing significant blood loss. In the hands of first responders, technology like this could save many lives.
3. The Shrinking Pacemaker
The pace of technological evolution around the world has meant that machines are getting more efficient, more powerful and smaller than they ever were before. The technology of the pacemaker has finally begun to keep pace with this trend. Now, there are much smaller and more efficient pacemakers on the market, which greatly improve the longevity of those who need them.

Aug 06, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) --
- Post-closing the transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to Platform's adjusted earnings and intrinsic value per share, pre-synergies
- Products and distribution footprint complement previously-announced Chemtura AgroSolutions acquisition
- Substantial synergies as a percentage of underlying EBITDA
MIAMI, Aug. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Platform Specialty Products Corporation PAH, +1.59% ("Platform" or the "Company"), a global specialty chemicals company, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Agriphar, a premier European agrochemicals group. The transaction is valued at €300 million and is subject to customary closing conditions and working capital and other adjustments. It is expected to be funded through a combination of debt and cash on hand with a closing in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Agriphar is a European crop protection group with leading product development, registration and distribution capabilities. Its product portfolio provides a wide range of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides with end markets primarily across Europe and is supported by a talented team of researchers and regulatory experts. With its main operational facility in Belgium and owned distribution subsidiaries in France, Spain, Greece and Italy, Agriphar has a strong on the ground presence in Western Europe and has developed a footprint in Central and Latin America. Agriphar brings a wide variety of product applications and expertise across a range of geographic markets. These added capabilities should amplify the benefits from Platform's Chemtura AgroSolutions ("CAS") acquisition, which was announced in April of this year and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
Over the last several years, Agriphar has demonstrated a strong track record of profitable growth via the introduction of new products and expansion into additional European countries. This acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive to Platform's adjusted earnings, prior to the benefit of potential synergies. Agriphar's revenue in 2013 was approximately €127 million and adjusted EBITDA margin slightly above 20%. Agriphar's free cash flow and profitability are in line with Platform's "asset-lite/high-touch" business model. Capital expenditures (excluding capitalized registration costs) are below 2% of revenue. Synergies are expected to be in excess of 25% of underlying EBITDA following integration with CAS.
Martin E. Franklin, Platform's Founder and Chairman, said, "The acquisition of Agriphar is exemplary of the strategy we outlined following our initial acquisition of MacDermid and is an attractive bolt on to our pending CAS acquisition. Given the complementary nature of their products and capabilities as well as the strong leadership at both companies, Agriphar and CAS should flourish together and deliver increasing value for our shareholders. We are delighted to welcome Agriphar's team to PSP and look forward to working with them to build a leading business in the agrochemicals space over the long term."
Daniel H. Leever, Platform's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The Agriphar transaction fits well within our stated framework of bolstering our capabilities in key verticals through bolt-on acquisitions. Agriphar's asset-lite/high-touch business aligns with our disciplined M&A criteria and demonstrates our ability to execute against our clearly-defined growth strategy. We believe this immediately accretive transaction will position us as a strong, global player in the agrochemicals space, and Agriphar's team of highly-skilled technicians and highly-specialized products will enable to us to capitalize on the favorable dynamics within the industry."
Lazard and Barclays Capital acted as financial advisors and Allen & Overy acted as legal counsel to Platform on the transaction. Bank Degroof and Tegris Advisors served as financial advisors and Koehler-Magne-Serres Avocats served as legal counsel for Agriphar.

There has been considerable controversy over a variety of Republican proposed tax plans. With the Super Committee's efforts to decide how to save $1 trillion the US Treasury Department could cough up a little chunk.
The proposed 2012 Budget for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is $14 billion, a long way short of the 1 Trill we need, but a good start. With the adoption of any plan: Flat Tax, Fair Tax, or Cain's 9-9-9 will eliminate about 80% of the IRS funding. That would result in a budget reduction of over $11 Billion- that's a lot of bananas. That money would go straight to the bottom line of our tax payers and eliminate an estimated $14 Billion in tax preparation in the private sector.
The below link is from the official US Treasury budget, The Executive Summary. This will verify the numbers I have outlined and you can apply your own assumptions, but we know that the IRS Tax Code is definately a make work program that is neither fair nor effectively adminstrated.

I live near Washington Park in Denver, Colorado, known as Wash Park to locals. It's a beautiful park, with a running trail that circles the perimeter. It's probably the best place to run within Denver city limits. I've lived near Wash Park for nearly seven years, and I've averaged 30-50 miles a week throughout that time. The trail is only 2.5 miles around though so when you're running more than 15-20 miles a week and the majority of your miles are in that park, you end up doing a lot of loops. I've literally run thousands of loops around that park.
So for me running in Wash Park can get a touch repetitive.
About five years ago I started listening to books on tape on my daily runs around Wash Park. I've been running for 27 years, and I've never really listened to music or headphones on my runs. Running was its own activity. Being alone with my thoughts was the whole point. But I figured with runs around Wash Park, I wasn't experiencing much new. So I started listening to books on tape.
And then I started listening to books at an accelerated speed. Most narrators speak slowly, and since the point of reading a book is to process information from it, I figured the faster the speed, the more I'd learn. Most of the time I'd listen at 1.5x speed, but I even experimented with 1.75x and 2x. I figured I'd miss a few things at those speeds, but I'd listen to more books – so the aggregate information I'd process would be higher.
Most recently, I've spent a lot of time reading about Zen. The main crux of Zen philosophy is to not allow one's mood to be affected by life's ups and downs. But the process to go about accomplishing this is to live a simple, rigorous life where each action is the subject of complete focus and attention.
It didn't take much reflection to realize that listening to books on tape at an accelerated speed on my runs was not consistent with a measured, concentrated, and fully focused life.
So I stopped listening to books on tape. And now when I run, I just run. One day, I'll focus in on the sounds of the day. The sound of my shoes as they hit the trail. The geese raising a ruckus. The humming of cars around me. The clickety clack of construction in all directions.
The next day I'll focus on the sights. The white and grey half-frozen lake. The thousands of leaves crumpled and decaying and shifting with the wind. The naked trees with ever-smaller twigs branching off into hundreds of directions.
It's made me come to appreciate again the park I've run around so many times before.
Run run. Sit Sit. Stand Stand. Don't wobble.
I'm trying to make this my new focus. If there's one goal I have every day, it's to do only one thing at a time. When I eat, just eat. Don't scroll on the phone or iPad. When I sit down between activities, just sit down. Don't pick up the phone and read some random article.
I'm not missing out on life because I'm not constantly connected to new information. The opposite is true. I'm missing out on life because I feel the urge to be constantly connected to remote and distant events. Life is immediate. Life is what is in front of me. That's the only life.
If I'm watching TV and surfing the internet at the same time, there is a good chance that neither activity is worthy of my attention. Better to do neither. Or better yet, do nothing.
You can have all the information in the world, but if you cannot focus on the present moment, it won't make your life better.
Life is better at zero speed.

Crime discount: This is another importance of education to nations. How can education cut back crime? A reader of this text may be confused when the introductory a part of this web page included 'crime discount' as one of many academic significance to nations. Individuals separate themselves from crime as a result of they had been taught the consequences of any dedicated crime. These punishments of any offense make many to detach from something that will lead them to crime. Once more, with schooling, people study to be disciplined and say no to any form of crime. Education supplies employment for the masses. I do not think that any who is employed and paid nicely in return could have time to start considering of one crime he will commit or the other to become profitable. Based mostly on observations, nations which are more educated have less crime charges in comparison with undereducated ones.
In a while, modifications have been made and new drugs have been developed and prescribed by docs and many of that are still waiting for FDA approval. An a.m. meal made up mostly of carbs and protein with some fat retains blood-sugar levels steady and hunger pangs away so you are not vulnerable to pigging out come lunch, studies show.

Sure Wimbledon's started, but what if you couldn't give two hoots about tennis? Here's our round-up of what you should be getting excited about among London's cornucopia of current cultural offerings.
Who needs tennis? What you really need is some swashbuckling flamenco swordfighting action with a Gipsy Kings soundtrack, right? Well, thank goodness for Zorro: The Musical, previewing from Monday at the Garrick. We can't help thinking it'll feel a little flat without a certain Mr Banderas wielding his, ahem, sword. Let's hope it outstays Gone With The Wind's 79 shows.
Also opening this Monday at the fantastic National Theatre is The Year of Magical Thinking, with the equally amazing Vanessa Redgrave. A solo show based on Joan Didion's memoirs following the death of her husband, this is a must-see for theatre fans. If you get a wriggle on, you might even be able to snatch up some tickets for the Platforms event to see the Grande Dame chatting alongside bro Corin. A proper luvvie fest.
Never been to the Courtauld? It's billed as one of the finest small museums in the world. So while the rest of the population are queuing for a tiny £2.25 helping of strawberries, get yourself to The Strand, for a great exhibition of Cezannes from Thursday; if the bright whites and green turf of Wimbledon are too much for you, Vilhelm Hammershøi's tranquil, grey masterpieces are at the RA from Saturday.
The Smallest Cinema in the World opened last Saturday, and will be popping up at various places in Regent's Park until 28 September (Thursday to Sunday). It's screening films made in the park by Swedish artist Annika Eriksson. Pop in to see the lesser-known, spontaneous activities that happen in the park and pay homage to public spaces that are free for everyone.
Last Chance!
Jane Horrocks and her gang are nearing the end of The Good Soul of Szechuan. It closes at the Young Vic on Saturday. And the Six Wives of Timothy Leary finish their attachment to the counter-culture revolutionary at the Riverside Studios on Thursday.
Tip of the Week
The City of London Festival's continues ploughing through its extraordinarily varied month-long programme. We recommend you try and catch our particular favourite highlight, Da Motus. Four crazy yellow-suited Swiss chaps performing their silent geometric ballet and art fusion at Moorgate on Thursday or Friday or at Canary Wharf on Saturday. Why not?

we had VBS this week, so we left every day at 4:45 to go eat dinner up at church, then VBS was from 5:45 to 8:30. the kids usually go to bed at 8:00, but this week it was almost 9:30 every single night. bless their hearts, they are absolutely wiped, and molly was in trouble pretty much all day today, because her attitude was the pits. i know its because she's exhausted, but there are still consequences for a sass mouth, miss thang.
VBS was a success, though, and everyone involved seemed to have a really good time.
unfortunately my pictures are overall lacking in zeal and excitement this week.
i have been super low on energy and fighting a losing battle with a head and neck ache for about two weeks. i finally went to the dr. on friday because i was just fed up with it. the headache was diagnosed as tension, and they're doing blood work to check my thyroid, electrolytes, etc. on one hand i hope i come out of it and get my pep back in my step, but on the other hand theres a small part of me that hopes they find something that explains why I'm so darn pooped all the time. i know being a mother is hard work, but seriously. my kids aren't that bad. ;-)
colby and molly got to go onstage and dance in the blacklight (you can't tell as much 'cause i had to use my flash) with a group of other kiddos to promote VBS.
my mom came into town to celebrate her birthday and fathers day early. we met my grandparents for lunch. this is my pawpaw. he's a sweet, sweet man.
ok, i didn't take a picture tuesday, so this one is from monday, too.
the library and a local toy store sponsored a free kids' concert in the city hall plaza to kick off their summer reading program.
I'm trying to eat less meat and less processed foods, so i've been making my own dinners to take up to church each night. yes, thats a big block of tofu. and i ate it. it won't be something i do again anytime soon.
this is our DVR list, or lack thereof. i honestly don't know that this has ever happened. we're caught up!
this is my group of 3rd grade girls i herded around for VBS (and a few parents; friday was family night).
this is literally one of those 'i need a picture for today!' pictures. dinner at chili's.
cut me some slack, people.
we have two weeks of glorious nothing!!! we will be going to the pool, hanging out with friends, and doing whatever we want to during the days! hooray!
have a blessed week!

Black Friday and CyberMonday are typically thought of as the time to purchase holiday gifts for friends and family. But I like to use this time to buy work-related products for myself. It's tough to afford all the various scripts, themes, and tools needed to run a website or consulting and development business, so I look for deals that help me cut my expenses whenever possible.

Check back each day this week, because I will add new deals as they become available!

text: I used this with no problem on my previous DX. I just received a replacement DX (running 605) and running the process to gain root doesn't seem to work. I see the Superuser icon, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've run it three times. I've even run the extra steps for DXs. However, when the process is done and I click the Superuser icon, all I see is a black screen that says "No apps in list". Any ideas? Thank you.

The unification fight between two of the WBA champs at super middleweight - regular king Karoly Balzsay and interim-ruler Brian Magee - is tentatively set for July 7 in Copenhagen, Denmark, with Danish veteran Mogens Palle, a part of Team Magee, as promoter.
However, Universum and Karoly Balzsay have not returned a signed contract inside of the 20 days after purse bids as the WBA rules stipulates - the deadline was reached on Sunday. Universum confirms that the contract isn´t signed and says there are some disagreements with certain paragraphs in the contract.
Palle said earlier today that all was done according to the WBA rules and Pat Magee, manager of Brian Magee (but no relation), has now put the matter in the hands of his attorney.
Team Magee won the right to stage the fight with a bid for 287,700 USD on May 21.

An innovation to conventional fireplace likes that you have seen in TVs is portable fireplace. They are also called anywhere fireplace since they can be placed almost anywhere, unlike its ancestor design. This new design is an answer to them who is unfortunate to have traditional fireplace at their home. Perhaps because it is hard to build a chimney in their house design or traditional fireplace leaves too much burning residues.
A portable fireplace usually use an environment-friendly ethanol as their fuel to replace old wood fuel. Since they produce no smoke, you dont have to build chimney on your house. Another fuel in fireplace is gas, it is usually placed in high-compressed tube that can be refilled periodically. These 2 fuels provide less residues to environment and are becoming trend for fireplace.
Portable Fireplace Shapes
Portable fireplace have many shapes and designs, some of them can be hung on the wall. It can increase your room splendor besides protecting you from cold weather. An example of wall-mountable fireplace came from Vauni Capolla. They are petal shaped and made from aluminium with black or white matte finish. Another indoor fireplace is Piet which designed by designer Fredrik Hylten. They have a layer of rockwool fire insulation to keep its outer ceramic shield remain cool. It has egg shape and use ethanol as its fuel too.
Gas Portable Fireplace
Besides ethanol, natural gas can also be used as fireplace's fuel. A gas fireplace has many design such as stove, double sided, wall insert, and vent less. Wall insert gas fireplace is unique and the most updated design. One can plant it in the wall and hide it with wall-like door when it is unused. Stove designed gas fireplace just seems like your kitchen stove, it has no relative difference. Perhaps the next gas portable fireplace is your kitchen stove.
