There is a wonderful trend in America today of turning to natural ways to improve one's quality of life. When it comes to healthy cholesterol levels, a natural approach is absolutely the best way to go. Many individuals have found that a low cholesterol food chart is an indispensable tool.
If you are really looking for a way to lower your cholesterol levels without having to resort to medication associated side effects that really don't want to experience, then one of the best things you can do is to become aware of the many foods good for lowering cholesterol that are available to you.
1.) Vegetables-Virtually all vegetables contain very high amounts of fiber and plant sterols, both of which have been shown to lower high lipid levels.
2.) Nuts-These wonderful cholesterol lowering foods have received a bad rap because of their high-fat content. In reality the fats contained in nuts will help balance out your cholesterol readings and are extremely beneficial for individuals who are dieting.
Nuts actually contains some of the highest levels of plant sterols of any of the foods that you eat.
3.) Whole Grains-Grains are wonderful cholesterol lowering foods because of their high fiber content. They contain many nutrients that may be missing from your diet.
4.) Fruit-Although they have a high sugar content, fruit is a wonderful cholesterol lowering food that makes an easy and nutritious snack. Making fruit a regular part of your routine will help support healthy cholesterol levels.
I encourage you to visit my website to see my low cholesterol food chart that lists many foods good for lowering cholesterol. You will find it to be a great resource for learning about the best ways to lower high cholesterol naturally.
To maintain our natural ph balance of 7.4 we need to eat 80% alkaline foods. But to eat alkaline foods we must know what the various alkaline forming foods are. By consuming these alkalizing foods we will be able to carve our road to good health and a long life.
Alkaline forming foods are mostly vegetables and fruits. Green vegetables are higher on the chart of alkaline foods. Broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, lettuce, miso, leeks are all alkaline vegetables. Even vegetables like carrots, tomatoes and potatoes with their peel all help with alkalizing. Spinach is a tricky one, if uncooked it is fine and helps with alkalinity but if we cook spinach it helps make acid. So one should try and consume spinach raw. Asparagus tips that are white are acidic and should be snipped away. Fruits like melons, mangoes, apples and bananas all help form alkaline ash. Even lemons which are acidic in their nature are actually alkalizing foods since the effect that they have on the body is alkaline. Fruits and vegetables are all alkaline forming food but care should be taken that they are cleaned thoroughly before consumption so as not to consume harmful chemicals along with these benefits.
Even though vegetables and fruits are alkaline forming foods they are not the only ones. Olive oil is a high alkaline forming food and one should try and cook all their food in it. Other oils such as vegetable oils and fats like butter are bad and acidic foods. Avocado butter is an alkaline forming food and should be substituted for normal butter. In fact milk and milk products are acidic and should be avoided. Almonds are alkaline forming food and are also power houses of energy. People of all ages should have a few almonds everyday. Honey also helps restore the alkaline/acid balance and has great healing powers. For a sour throat try some honey with lemon and ginger and you will feel the difference instantly. Garlic is excellent at helping with alkalinity. Try and add garlic to most of your recipes.
For those who like their beverages a word of advice stay away from coffee and tea. These are acidic foods. Alkaline forming beverages are herbal teas, coffee substitutes and fresh lemon water. These can be safely consumed without harming the body or exposing it to diseases. One the other hand sodas and alcoholic drinks are highly acidic foods. One should consume fresh foods as opposed to processed foods since the latter is acidic in nature. Processed foods are all bad for the body and should be avoided completely.
But another very important requirement of the body is water. Normal water does not benefit the body as much as alkalizing water does. Alkalizing water, as the name suggests, helps form alkaline and so is greatly beneficial to the body. Consuming about 6 to 8 glasses of alkaline water is very healthy for the body and also helps maintain the ph balance so keeping the body away from all the diseases as well preventing cell degeneration.
Alkaline forming foods are the best gifts we can give our bodies. Only they can help the body develop a strong immune system.
If you are new to the alkaline diet, you probably know by now that a food chart is the one must-have tool for anyone who wants to succeed on this diet. But while there are countless acid alkaline food charts around the Internet, it is actually quite hard to find one that is accurate and useful.
First, many charts fail to provide information about common foods. I find this hard to understand. It's one thing to omit an exotic food that practically no one eats, but it's quite another to omit a food that is in almost everyone's shopping cart.
A second problem is that not all charts are correct. In fact, many rely on outdated sources to determine which foods are acid-producing and which ones are acidifying, even when newer and more useful information is available. These inaccuracies can cause your alkaline diet to fail, and you might never find out why. The alkaline diet has worked for countless people, and it can work for you, too–but only if you make your food choices based on valid information.
Lastly, most charts are not at all convenient to use on a daily basis. Most people want a one-page list that they can hang on their refrigerator or take with them when they go to the grocery store. At these times, a poorly-formatted 30-page list chart is practically useless.
After looking high and low for an acid alkaline food chart that doesn't suffer from these flaws, I finally decided to design one myself. I used the most accurate data available, and assembled it into a handy one-page chart that lists the 127 most popular foods. I also tried to make my chart as easy to use as possible by incorporating color-coded star ratings that shows you at a glance precisely how each food will affect your body's internal pH. Because I believe this information is so crucial, I have decided to make this chart available as a free download from The Alkaline Diet Blog.

Pitchfork Music Festival- Day Three, Review.
Meaghatron
on 27 July, 2011 at 20:10
The third and final day of Pitchfork Music Festival marked the end to an overwhelmingly exhausting weekend. Sunday happened to be the first day that sold out when tickets first went on sale a few months ago so needless to say it was packed. The crowd was relatively lethargic as everyone was huddled in the shade trying to get away from the oppressive heat (whine, whine, whine, bitch, bitch, bitch… whatever it was hot). I'll go easy on the first half of the artists for the day and blame the level of boring on the heat. Two early acts I was excited to see were How to Dress Well and OFWGKTA. Especially OFWGKTA, expecting them to bring this out of the world performance due to all the hype they've gotten in the last year, I was disappointed with their set but even that kind of grew into just not giving a shit. How to Dress Well didn't fare much better and frankly they just didn't sound good. Their drummer had about half a drum set with the floor toms and bass drum turned on their sides sitting flat on the stage, it sounded terrible. Watching them set up you could feel the anticipation in the crowd as they had an orchestral accompaniment to the band. Unfortunately they didn't seem to do much with that either.
Luckily, Shabazz Palaces kicked off a streak of acts that fell on the opposite end of the spectrum. If you haven't heard, Shabazz Palaces is a duo that consists of electronic beats with live drums over the top paired with live vocals. They sounded awesome and were worth waiting around to hear their entire set. They have an almost new world sound but they don't seem as if they're trying too hard, they sound utterly sincere. Baths followed Shabazz Palaces with a surprisingly energetic performance from an artist who was performing behind a table. His energy got the crowd moving and was the perfect precursor to Toro y Moi. Toro y Moi were by far one of the best sounding on Sunday. They mainly played songs off of Underneath the Pine, which is a personal favorite of mine. Although Chaz Bundick is reluctant to have Toro y Moi be labeled as chillwave, their chillwave….esque sound set the perfect ambiance for a hot Sunday afternoon.
As I shared some shade and some beers with a friend while waiting for Deerhunter I was able to people watch and ended up sitting two feet away from Andrea Estrella from Twin Sister (as they had played the Blue Stage earlier in the day). We lost track of time, enjoying not being baked by the sun, and ended up having to try and hurry our way through the gigantic crowd waiting for Deerhunter. It took us 13 minutes to make it from one side of the stage to the other, what?! To give you an idea, in a normal crowd that walk would take me three minutes tops, it was crazy. Deerhunter was worth the elbowing though, they played a great set while squinting into the sun. Cut Copy was the last act of the day on the Red Stage and although people have been h8n on their latest album Zonoscope, I thought they sounded great. Unfortunately it seemed like every press person at Pitchfork had jammed themselves into the photo pit so I was only able to see them if I turned myself horizontal and stood all the way up on my toes (looks like yoga's been paying off). They played crowd favorites from In Ghost Colours which sound just as good as they did when the album came out all the way back in 2008.
TV on the Radio headlined the last day of Pitchfork and they didn't disappoint. Unfortunately, I suck and my camera died as I was literally headed into the photo pit. I probably won't stop kicking myself for that one for a while. I was so glad that they played songs off of Return to Cookie Mountain and Dear Science because those are my personal favorites. Nine Types of Light, which dropped in April of this year, has gotten so much attention (and it is good) but c'mon, Dear Science is ear meltingly awesome. Although they sounded fantastic, my feet could not have been more relieved when their set was finished because it meant that I could sleep forever (probably why you're reading this review a week late…).

OK, we know that to "city folks," we're a little bit odd. You think that Ohio's Amish Country rolls up the sidewalks after 5pm (not quite so) and that there's nothing to do on Sundays.
You see, in our community we regard Sunday as a Day of Rest. Time to spend with family and friends. Time for chilling out and refreshing ourselves (mentally and physically) after a week of hard work. It's time for naps, afternoon popcorn and grape juice, evening drives and visiting friends and family.
Honestly, everyone should try it.
But we also know that on your vacation, many of you would like to find things to do and places to go, so here's a guide for visitors on where to visit or eat on Sundays.
Note that the hours below are Sunday hours only.

Guerne Heights Drive In - Don't miss the Ice Cream!
Tarragon at the Inn at Honey Run - Fine Dining, Reservations recommended.
Dover Road Dari - Don't miss the Ice Cream!
Fast food restaurants are available in Berlin, Millersburg and Sugarcreek. A variety of sit-down and chain restaurants can be found in Dover, New Philadelphia and Wooster.
This is a unique kind of Rails-to-Trails - you'll see a mix of cyclists, walkers, runners, horseback riders and horse drawn buggies utilizing the trail for exercise, fun, or transportation. The Holmes County Trail consists of 12 miles of paved trail from Killbuck to Fredericksburg. It is the only dual purpose trail in the United States, half of it consisting of chipped limestone for horse traffic. You can jump on the trail just off of Grant Street at the historic Trail Depot in Downtown Millersburg. Bicycles are available to rent.
Approximately 650 acres of forest, meadow, wetland, and prairie with 10 miles of walking trails. Educational programs are available for children and adults alike.
Miniature Golf, Driving Range, Batting Cages and more.

The Hall of Fame enshrines exceptional figures from the National Football League. Take a day to view the entire complex, now under an extensive expansion in 2018.
Today, Zoar Village is made up of approximately 75 families living in homes built from 1817 to the present. Visit us to tour the museum buildings, see early American architecture, and enjoy the quaint village scenery.
Schoenbrunn Village is the site of several Ohio firsts—settlement, church, schoolhouse and code of laws. The village, restored to appear as it did more than two centuries ago, includes the original cemetery and 16 reconstructed log structures, as well as the church and gardens. A visitor center with museum and introductory video will help orient you so that you can experience the village as if you were in the past.
Written by Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Paul Green, Trumpet in the Land is an unforgettable experience that brings to life the Ohio frontier during the Revolutionary War. Performed in the same hills from which this story is born, Trumpet is a thrilling and passionate story of a peaceful people's influence on the war and the tragic events that encircled the founding of Ohio's first settlement, Schoenbrunn.


I recently traveled to Athens, Greece and experienced the cab ride from the airport into the city centre as a trip through an alien landscape. This was partly due to the general lack of sleep and fresh air that accompanies trans-Atlantic travel, but was wholly amplified by the view out the car window. Every roadside billboard we passed—and there were many—was either sun bleached to the point of unintelligibility or completely empty. And not the hopeful empty symbolized by a crisp, white surface awaiting an eager advertiser but the sad emptiness of one left ragged and stripped by the crash.

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Baker Mayfield passed for seven touchdowns and 545 yards to help No. 16 Oklahoma beat Texas Tech 66-59 on Saturday night in a game that broke the NCAA record for combined offensive yards with 1,708 yards.Mayfield completed 27 of 36 passes and broke the school game touchdown mark of six held by Landry Jones. His TD passes went for 56, 49, 23, 23, 43, 34 and 15 yards.Joe Mixon caught three touchdowns passes and Dede Westbrook had two for the Sooners (5-2, 4-0 Big 12).Mixon also ran for two touchdowns, a 46-yarder and a 42-yarder. He finished with 263 yards rushing and 114 yards receiving. Hes the first Sooner ever to reach 200 yards rushing and 100 receiving in the same game.I thought Joe Mixon just had a game for the ages, Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. Just incredible.Westbrook caught nine passes for 202 yards.Hes phenomenal, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. Hes just better than anybody we had on the field.Pat Mahomes threw for five touchdowns and 734 yards for Texas Tech (3-4, 1-3). His passing yards total tied the NCAA record, matching Connor Halliday when Washington State played California in 2014.The 125 points are the second-most in a game involving a ranked team. The record is 133 in No. 9 West Virginias 70-63 victory over No. 25 Baylor on Sept. 29, 2012.THE TAKEAWAYOklahoma: The Sooners relied heavily on Mixon, who finished with 31 carries. But his work didnt make the Sooners miss Samaje Perine too much. Perine, who has six rushing TDs, is out for at least two weeks with a pulled leg muscle .Texas Tech: The Red Raiders defense, often derided as weak and porous, put together three stops against the Sooners in the first half. Texas Tech forced punts on two OU possessions and held the Sooners on fourth-and-1 when they stopped Mixon deep in Red Raiders territory.POLL IMPLICATIONSOklahoma likely wont move up much in the AP Top 25 poll after the win -- Texas Tech hasnt been ranked this season -- but the Red Raiders might get some votes after playing the Sooners so closely.UP NEXT:Oklahoma: The Sooners play Kansas at home next Saturday.Texas Tech: The Red Raiders face TCU in Fort Worth next Saturday.----This story has been updated with the correct spelling of Landry Jones.

Freddy Galvis Jersey . LOUIS -- Attorneys for the St. http://www.bluejaysonline.com/blue-jays-teoscar-hernandez-jersey/ . The incident occurred at 19:56 of the second period of the Kings 4-2 road win over Edmonton on Sunday. Nolan punched Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu in the jaw in front of the Kings goal during a scrum. Roberto Alomar Jersey . One game after a miserable showing in Oklahoma City, Gay tied a career high with 41 points and the Sacramento Kings cruised to a 114-97 victory at the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Alen Hanson Jersey .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up. CLEVELAND -- Joe Maddon didnt need to give Jake Arrieta any sort of pep talk before Game 6 of the World Series.The stakes were obvious. So was the weight of history. Who better to trust with a season in the balance than the pitcher whose rebirth in Chicago has come in lockstep with the clubs rise from cuddly also-rans to blossoming juggernaut?I think Jake likes to shoulder these kind of moments, Maddon said a couple of hours before Arrietas first pitch against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.And own them too.Given an early boost by Chicagos suddenly hot again offense, Arrieta kept the Indians in check for 5 2/3 innings as the Cubs forced a Game 7 with a largely drama free 9-3 victory.Arrieta struck out nine and walked three to improve to 2-0 in the World Series. In Game 2, he kept the Indians hitless into the sixth to send the Cubs back to Chicago with things all tied up. In Game 6, he didnt let Addison Russells record-tying six RBI go to waste. By the time the Indians managed their first hit -- a double by Jason Kipnis leading off the fourth -- the Cubs were already up seven runs.The only real tense moment came after Kipnis scored on Mike Napolis RBI single with one out in the fourth. Arrieta hit Lonnie Chisenhall with a pitch and walked Coco Crisp to load the bases.Just as it appeared Arrieta was on the brink of letting the Indians back in it, he recovered. When Tyler Naquin swung and missed on a 1-2 pitch, the Cubs were out of danger and on their way.Its those bouts of temporary wildness thats taken just a bit off the edge that made Arrieta so unhittable during his Cy Young winning run in 2015, when he practically carried Chicagos pitching staff in the second half as the Cubs locked down a playoff spot and eventually made it all the way to the NLCS before falling to the New Yorkk Mets.ddddddddddddArrietas 16 wild pitches led the National League and his 76 walks marked a career high during a year in which he went 18-8 with a 3.10 ERA and made the All-Star team. Its a great season by just about any measure, except when the measure is Arreitas 2015 when he led the majors in wins (22), ERA (1.77) and shutouts (three).That nearly yearlong stretch of dominance ended after the All-Star break. He went just 6-4 over the seasons final 10 weeks and his ERA in September was a mediocre 4.68. His two starts before the World Series were both Chicago losses, one to San Francisco in the Division Series in which he pitched well and another to the Los Angeles Dodgers in which he did not.Arrieta saw his spot as the teams ace vanish too with Jon Lester getting the nod in Game 1 of the World Series and Kyle Hendricks -- who will start Game 7 -- leading the majors with a 2.13 ERA.Yet the prospect of living up to the outsize expectations Arrieta set for himself hardly seem to bother him. He spent Monday taking his two kids trick-or-treating. A day later, he looked at ease silencing the non-Cubs portion of Progressive Field. The only Indian he struggled with in the Series was Kipnis, who went 3 for 5 against him. The rest of the Indians combined to go 2 for 34.By the time Maddon came out to take the ball from Arrieta following a two-out walk in the sixth, the loud Chicago contingent behind the Cubs dugout gave him a rousing ovation.The dream of ending a championship drought that extends back more than a century is very much alive thanks in part to the well-bearded right-hander who makes up for in tenacity what he sometimes lacks in polish. Just like his team. ' ' '

Visual Overview
Background Although intestinal and urinary microbiome perturbations are associated with nephrolithiasis, whether antibiotics are a risk factor for this condition remains unknown.
Methods We determined the association between 12 classes of oral antibiotics and nephrolithiasis in a population-based, case–control study nested within 641 general practices providing electronic health record data for >13 million children and adults from 1994 to 2015 in the United Kingdom. We used incidence density sampling to match 25,981 patients with nephrolithiasis to 259,797 controls by age, sex, and practice at date of diagnosis (index date). Conditional logistic regression models were adjusted for the rate of health care encounters, comorbidities, urinary tract infections, and use of thiazide and loop diuretics, proton-pump inhibitors, and statins.
Results Exposure to any of five different antibiotic classes 3–12 months before index date was associated with nephrolithiasis. The adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 2.33 (2.19 to 2.48) for sulfas, 1.88 (1.75 to 2.01) for cephalosporins, 1.67 (1.54 to 1.81) for fluoroquinolones, 1.70 (1.55 to 1.88) for nitrofurantoin/methenamine, and 1.27 (1.18 to 1.36) for broad-spectrum penicillins. In exploratory analyses, the magnitude of associations was greatest for exposure at younger ages (P<0.001) and 3–6 months before index date (P<0.001), with all but broad-spectrum penicillins remaining statistically significant 3–5 years from exposure.
Conclusions Oral antibiotics associated with increased odds of nephrolithiasis, with the greatest odds for recent exposure and exposure at younger age. These results have implications for disease pathogenesis and the rising incidence of nephrolithiasis, particularly among children.

Discussion The video for Shattered!
I look forward to getting the vinyl around August.
I think that this is a safe estimate, no?
Wow. That is incredibly embarrassing for her. Can't help but thinking eddies smirk is I can't believe I get to be inside this joke on this woman and her rich friends. 20 years ago I would have had to make fun of her from afar.
At least that's what I hope he's thinking.
No she wasn't. She wasn't even brave. It was nice she gave a shitload of money to do that and was willing to embarrass herself on video. So props for that kind gesture. But, other than the extra charity she performed by paying whatever was required to do a duet with Eddie at the benefit (which should not be overlooked or belittled), it was clearly an embarrassing performance. Why they would put this on a single for the club members is beyond me (not upset about it. It's not like I need to listen to it ever again, but still - there has to be 100 other things Ed has recorded over the last year - his kids laughing, him telling a joke, his wife reading a poem, a fart - that would have been far more entertaining and/or cuter than this).
We don't have to like everything the band or its members do. Though, I do applaud Eddie for being able to pull money from stupid people's pockets AND get them to be part of his joke.
Once again ladies and gentlemen, we have a fan that acts like he/she knows everything about the band and what they do!!! I applaud your effort to try and make us believe you know what this was and how she must have been feeling. Oh and dear god, thank you for telling us why Ed was smirking!!! You must be Nostradamus!!! I swear, you must be backstage at all these events just swapping jokes and stories with Ed. And you were part of this "joke" too right? I mean that's the only way you would know! Can you tell Ed I said hi? Oh, wait, he probably doesn't know me as good as he does you (cause you know, you guys are good chums and all).
That was fun to watch, especially since it's for a good cause. Bravo to both of them.
And now I have the urge to watch Mickey Blue Eyes.
This is terrible....but still much better than Sirens.
She is a friend of Ed's and they're having fun. No need to construct a scenario where Ed is gaming the loser rich person. He's probably wealthier than she is, at any rate. And I liked it, and hey, that's my opinion so it's not "wrong". Personally, I like this way better than the A side- I actually prefer this silly version over the original which was always one of a few select RS songs that I don't care for at all.
Got it. I was wrong on my conjecture of what was going on. maybe I was being hopeful for eddies sake. Now that I realize you are right, I'm actually also embarrassed for Eddie and the bands decision to put this and jay z on a PJ fan club single. Awful.
I enjoyed it, but was it really THAT funny? I mean, the crowd laughed every time she opened her mouth. Settle down, people.
yeah.. someone needs more pot..
Ha ha! Yeah it was funny the first 10 seconds. I kinda feel bad for her now after reading all the backlash.
And Olympic Platinum, while it was a joke, is still golden to me.
As always, very well put and non offensive to the sensitive. So, I respectful remove my previous comments from the court record and copy this as my appraisal of this recording if the author doesn't mind.
Wow. I take back my previous post in this thread about receiving the vinyl next August. It actually came today! I gave it a spin. I didn't particularly care for it, but that's just my opinion. I am glad it came on time for once however. That got me bringing out a few oldies to spin. Hawaii 78 and Sonic Reducer are still my favorite Holiday singles. I would prefer a new PJ improv or Cover or anything cool on the next one.
I'm sure he's still smirking knowing that he's played that same joke on all of the 10c members who were hoping for something cool with the hoiday singles this year. But ultimately the joke is on him since this silly B-Side is considerably more listenable that the "serious" effort contained on the A-Side.
Maybe, it's a double joke.... Pearl Jam, and especially Eddie are very self aware. And, they don't mind letting the fans in on it. I'm starting to warm up to the 2013 single the more I think/talk about it. Thank you.
Way over thinking this dude.
Ed is in his element with these rich crowds. Your posts make it seem like he is above all of it and just doin it for the money. Check out his new years picture with Sean Penn, or his endless name dropping at concerts. 1992 Eddie, and even 2003 Eddie are long gone. Ed is still awesome as is the rest of the band, but they have gone soft to say the least.
Very nice performance though. She did great.

President of Turkmenistan calls for 'green diplomacy' for the Caspian Sea
опубликованно 12.08.2019 // 398 - просмотров
Speaking at the International Conference "The Caspian Sea: in the interest of developing international economic cooperation", President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov highlighted the special role of science in maintaining the ecological balance of the Caspian Sea, the unique biodiversity of the sea.
"It means that all economic projects in the Caspian Sea basin should be carried out on the basis of high international environmental standards", the Turkmen leader said.
"We are going to create a new Caspian environmental programme as a set of environmental measures aimed at the conservation and efficient use of the rich natural resources of the Caspian Sea.
"At the same time, this Programme could monitor the environmental situation in the Caspian Sea and give relevant recommendations to the governments of the littoral states.
"Turkmenistan is ready to consider this issue with all interested partners. At the same time, we hope for the full support of the UN and, first of all, its specialized environmental institutions.
"We strongly believe that ecology cannot become a hostage of economic and commercial benefits. This is a principled and responsible position that our country has consistently supported from the rostrum of the most respected international organizations and strictly followed, when developing national plans", emphasized the Turkmen leader.
In this regard, the President of Turkmenistan called for the establishment of effective channels of 'green diplomacy' for the Caspian Sea with participation of international agencies, environmental centers and the media.
"Speaking about the future of the Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan considers it in the context of the future of the entire planet and correlates its work with the activities of the United Nations to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals", said President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov.
"We see the Caspian Sea, both in geographical and socio-economic terms, as one of the directions of the UN Strategy until 2030. Sustainability of the economy, energy security, environmental balance are the main framework of the common Caspian home", emphasized the Turkmen leader.


I like my popcorn. When Michelle is out for the evening I can quite happily make do with a supper of popcorn with cheesy seasoning.
11 Years ago I was in a Target and spotted the popcorn maker below. It was inexpensive ( under $15) and came with a simple recipe that I've tweaked a bit over the years so it's exactly right for me. I've seen a lot of other inexpensive poppers in various stores, all that really matters is that you can stir the popcorn kernels while cooking and that steam can get out.
1/2 cup Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn – it doesn't matter what type: his hot air popcorn, White Popcorn, whatever. This is simply the most reliable popping corn I've tried – and I've tried plenty. It's not that pricey and we're talking, what, $2 more for a container of something that will make you at least 10 batches of popcorn? You can't even buy 1/3 of a small popcorn at a movie theater for that price.
1/3 stick of butter – use real butter not margarine or oil. If you're on a diet have some celery instead.
Put the popcorn popper on the stove, set the burner to just under medium-high (7.5 on my stove dial).
Add the cooking oil and 3 kernels and give a couple of spins with the popcorn paddle to spread things out evenly.
Turn on your oven, it really doesn't matter the heat, and set the cooking timer to 2 minutes. This will heat it up and dry out the air in the oven.
Put the butter in a small pan on the stove. I like to have it on maximum power for about a minute or so to get things moving and then bring it down to medium-low.
When at least two kernels have popped this means the popper temperature is right, dump in the rest of the popcorn and spin the popcorn paddle a couple of times to spread everything out and get the hot oil all over the kernels.
You can either spin the popcorn paddle continuously or wait until you hear the first kernel pop. But make sure you keep spinning it after that. Not fast, your goal is to both keep the popped corn from burning and to encourage the kernels to all pop at more or less the same time.
When the popping has slowed (less than one pop per second) pull the popper off the heat – better a few unpopped kernels than ANY burning happening in your popper. That smokey smell is instantly absorbed by the freshly popped corn and can ruin the batch.
Shake the bowl to even out the popcorn and then take the butter from the stove, it should be fully melted by now and start spinning the bowl. Drizzle about one third of the butter over the popcorn, then either shake the bowl or use a spatula to mix it up. Do this a couple more times to get butter all through the popcorn.
Plain salt can work fine here. If you go to "Wendy's" restaurants you can grab a fistful of their salt packets and use them instead, it's very finely ground and will stick to the popcorn nicely.
Like with the butter, make sure you add some salt/seasoning, mix up the popcorn and then add some more. That way you don't end up with a wonderful top and a bland bottom.
Take your popcorn and toss it in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes (prep your movie or check your email). What you want to do is to get rid of as much moisture as you can.
Warning: if you are using the seasoning above, do NOT try to put the popcorn into the oven while the burners are still going – the cheese will burn very easily and ruin the popcorn.
If all you have is an air popper, the reason its texture is so crappy is because it seems to retain WAY more moisture than when you pop it on the stove (or maybe it absorbs the moisture faster, either way the result is the same). Tossing it into the oven for 1/2 hour (even better if you can shake it up a couple of times while it's drying) is WELL worth the wait if you can stand it.
OK OK I sound a little obsessive here, but I've actually experimented a lot and mentally kept track of what worked and what didn't. The whole thing is pretty automatic for me and, since I've already done the thinking, I don't need to really think about it anymore. Hopefully you can benefit and enjoy your popcorn.

Q: PHP, error after function call Today I moved my web on new web hosting and then
 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /data/web/virtuals/41994/virtual/www/application/theme/admin-template/header.php on line 45

I dont know, what is bad on user::get('user_name')[0], I dont have any problems with this on old web hosting. I just wanna get first character of that ( if i used substr, I had no problem, but i got lot of, and i wanna know why :) )
PS: Similar problem with this:
$test = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query('SELECT test FROM test'))['test'];

A: You are probably using php 5.3. This syntax is not allowed until 5.4+.
Use this instead:
$row = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query('SELECT test FROM test'));
$test = $row['test'];

Ignoring the mysql_query hole... That's a separate issue.

Стінний Квадра́нт () — скасоване сузір'я північної півкулі неба. Запропоноване Лаландом у 1795 році і в цьому ж році опубліковане в атласі Жана Фортіна під редакцією Лаланда. Ймовірно, в сузір'ї увічнено астрономічний інструмент Тихо Браге.

Сузір'я не мало популярності серед астрономів. Нині сузір'я не занесене Міжнародним астрономічним союзом в офіційний список сузір'їв, його зірки включено в сузір'я Волопаса, Дракона і Геркулеса. Назва сузір'я збереглася в назві метеорного потоку квадрантиди, чий радіант лежить у цьому сузір'ї.
