Shreveport Police Chief Cleared of Any Wrongdoing
Shreveport Police Chief Alan Crump will be back on the job on Wednesday. Chief Crump and Lieutenant Matt Prunty have been cleared in an investigation where the two officers discharged firearms while in pursuit of suspects on October 30th.
The Mayor's office issued a statement saying "The District Attorney's Office conducted a review of the investigation and determined there were no grounds for action against either officer. Chief Crump will return to his full duties on Wednesday, November 8.
The Mayor's statement adds:
Although there was no administrative discipline involved in his leave, Mayor Ollie Tyler placed the Chief on leave to maintain full transparency. Policy does not require officers to be placed on departmental leave under such circumstances. However, because Chief Crump is the head of the department, Mayor Tyler thought it appropriate to take this action to allow for a full and thorough investigation without the perception of influence from the Chief.
At the time the Chief was placed on paid leave, the Mayor issued this statement:
No one was injured from the discharge of his weapon. "Our Police Chief demonstrated his willingness to actively take part in combating crime and putting his life on the line alongside his fellow officers," said Mayor Tyler. "Policy does not require officers to be placed on departmental leave under such circumstances; however, because he is the head of this department, it is appropriate to take this action to allow for a full and thorough investigation."
KEEL News spoke with Chief Crump earlier this year about the crime problem in our community. He talked about ways to combat crime and get back to basic family values:
Questions have been raised surrounding the incident, but the District Attorneys Office has found no wrongdoing on the part of the officers.
Earlier this month, KEEL spoke with City Councilwoman Stephanie Lynch about the chief and the crime problem in our city:

In the first phases of liberalization, the main emphasis of governments, regulators and market stakeholders is on the establishment of individual markets, typically at a national or state level.
Open and competitive markets have created new opportunities for market participants for trading between different areas, thereby increasing liquidity and contributing to optimal use of existing network (and generation) capacities. In many regions, this has resulted in severe congestion between different markets since existing network capacities are insufficient to satisfy the entire demand from the market.
Experience has also shown that many countries are too small to allow for sufficient competition to develop. However, such problems may be overcome by merging individual countries or areas into a single regional market. Scope is thereby reduced for companies to gain market power and the market can support a larger number of players. This was demonstrated by the successful establishment of the Nordic electricity market across four different countries almost ten years ago. Moreover, regional integration further helps to optimize operation of the overall system by removing boundary issues and allowing optimization of integrated production, network operation and trading.
Over time, focus has therefore shifted towards the integration of neighboring markets or, eventually, the creation of regional markets. This trend has been observed in Europe, the U.S. and other regions world-wide. In Europe, activities in different Regional Initiatives are aimed at the creation of regional power and gas markets. Similarly, the U.S. is pursuing its Standard Market Design based on the concept of regional wholesale markets operated by ISOs and/or RTOs.
We have been actively involved in the conceptual development and implementation of regional energy markets. We have been advising governments, regulators, market and system operators as well as international institutions, such as the European Commission, on the benefits and requirements of regional integration. In addition, our experts are helping stakeholders to understand the different concepts and assess the resulting opportunities, risks and requirements in the new environment.

To strengthen its position, the Dutch East Indies established a fortress on the side of the Brantas river. Followed by establishing a Dutch residence (loge) on either side of the fort. On 1 April 1914, the colonial government established Malang as Gemeente or Kotapraja, a government administered by the city council. On 12 November 1918, the city council of the election was formed. In 1919 the first Burgemeester was H.I. Bussemaker and in 1930 there was a change in village structure to become the Office of Environmental Government.

After 1942, the Buergemeester area was divided into 3 sub-districts, namely Klojen, Blimbing and Kedung Kandang . In 1988, Malang City had 5 districts namely Blimbing, Klojen District, Kedungkandang, Lowokwaru, and Sukun.

Here continues the Record of the Reign of Gareth and Juliana King and Queen of Sylvan Æthelmearc at Their Crown Tournament, October 7, AS 52, in Their Shire of Hornwood; as recorded by Lord Arias Beltran del Valle, with the assistance of Lord Ronan O'Conall.
On October 7, 2017, We, Gareth and Juliana, King and Queen of Æthelmearc, issued a royal sanction – banishment from the royal presence against Matthew Gibson, known in the Society as Tegrinus de Rhina. This sanction will expire at the end of our reign.
Their Majesties then summoned before Them those members of the Order of the Pelican there present. Having been informed of and agreeable to the Order's desire to add to their number, they summoned in turn Baroness Constance Glyn Dwr and Mistress Elisabeth Johanna von der Flossenburg, and sent each to the place prepared for them to sit vigil and contemplate elevation to that noble Order.
Mistress Elisabeth is sent to vigil.
Baroness Constance returns her protege belt to MIstress Alexandra before going to vigil.
Their Majesties then received before Them those combatants and consorts who were to vie for a place beside Their Majesties as Heirs to the Sylvan Throne, giving Their tokens to the couples as they were received.
Count Andreas and Countess Callista greet Their Majesties before the tourney.
Their Majesties then gave leave to Their Officers to conduct the Crown Tournament and Their Court was thus suspended.
Having emerged victorious from the list of combatants, Their Majesties invited before them Duke Sven Gunnarsson and Duchess Siobhan inghean ui Liathain. Having confirmed his desire to serve as Prince, His Majesty placed the crown on Duke Sven's head, creating him the Prince of Æthelmearc. His Highness then received the consort's crown, and put it on the head of His lady, Duchess Siobhan, creating Her as His Princess.
Prince Sven crowns Princess Siobhan.
The Court of Their Majesties was once again suspended.
Their Majesties summoned before Them the Children of the Kingdom who were then sent in pursuit of toys carried by his Lordship Darri inn Valski with which to entertain themselves during the business of Their Majesties' Court.
Next, those attending their first event with the Society were summoned before Their Majesties. As a token of Their welcome to the Society and the Kingdom, each were given a drinking vessel to use for themselves as they attended further events in the future.
Their Majesties then invited before Them the Ladies of the Rose to speak about the chivalry witnessed on the field during the tournament. The Order noted the chivalry displayed by many of the fighters present that day, but determined one had demonstrated that chivalry above the rest, naming Duke Malcolm Duncan MacEoghainn to carry the Shield of Chivalry.
Duke Malcolm receives the Shield of Chivalry.
His Lordship Alrekr Bergson was called forth to discuss the archery competition held during the day.
Their Majesties then received Baroness Fiona ingen ui Fhaolain to swear her oath of loyalty on behalf of the Baronage of the Endless Hills.
Sir Alonzio of the Peacemakers was then invited before Their Majesties. They noted Sir Alonzio's many years of service to the Army of Æthelmearc, but also noted that a sign of his position as member of the Order of Chivalry had yet to be presented to him. So did They present him with a (only slightly overdue) scroll announcing his Elevation to the Chivalry by Their honored Ancestors Rurik and Elspeth in AS 37. Scroll by Mistress Antoinette de la Croix.
Their Majesties Awarded Arms to Rollo Bastardson for his service in the Kingdom Army, especially over the past three Pennsic Wars, fighting with the Borderwatch in defense of Their lands. Scroll by Lady Shirin of Susa.
Ulf Halfdansson was then summoned before Their Majesties and was Awarded Arms for setting a fine example, first as a youth fighter, and then as an adult, offering a hand of service wherever needed. Scroll by Master Kieran MacRae.
Their Majesties next called for Bryna Barth, and Awarded her Arms for giving of her talents as cook, webmistress and retainer, among many others. Scroll by Lord Jacques of Sylvan Glen.
Felineaous Wratheon was next Awarded Arms by Their Majesties. Called Wraith, he has contributed to the Society for more than 20 years, before recently gaining citizenship in Æthelmearc. He, too, fights with the Borderwatch and serves as a herald and bard. Scroll by THL Eleanor of Godwin.
Joel of Hunter's Home was next Awarded Arms for his service on the field of battle with the Borderwatch, defending the Kingdom both with heavy weapons and on the rapier field at this past Pennsic War. Scroll by Baron Caleb Reynolds.
Lucius Livis Lazarus was then summoned to the Royal Presence. Lucius has quietly served the Kingdom and His Majesty's House Sable Maul for years, providing his arm on the field, and his talents in casting and cooking when the fighting had ceased. For this did they Award him Arms as well. Scroll by Lady Edana the Red.
Lady Thyri Erbewyf was summoned before Their Majesties, who had heard of her service as a key part of the Borderwatch siege crew. She trains new siege engineers and was the Borderwatch's field commander on the field this past Pennsic. For this did they induct her into the Order of the Golden Alce. Scroll by Felice de Thornton.
Lord Leonardis next was called to appear before their Majesties. Word had reached Their ears about his continued prowess on the fighting field, and his contributions to the heavy weapons community. For these reasons did They create him a member of the Order of the Gage. Scroll by Alita of Hartstone.
Lord Leonardis receives a Gage token from Count Andreas.
Baroness Miriel du Lac was called before Their Majesties. Her Excellency currently serves as Baroness of the Rhydderich Hael, but word of the other forms of service she provides helping to set up and dismantle events, and contributing on the fencing field and in the kitchens had reached the ears of Their Majesties. So did They induct her into Their Order of the Millrind. Scroll by Mistress Sthurrim Caithnes.
Their Majesties next summoned to them Lady Deidre Scot of Clan Scott. They had heard of her work at events doing a myriad of tasks from cooking to retaining to being sure all were fed, as well as the more onerous tasks of securing event sites and serving as exchequer. For this was she also added to the number of the Order of the Millrind. Scroll by Lady Shirin of Susa.
Their Majesties the invited back from her vigil Mistress Elisabeth Johanna von der Flossenburg, who confirmed her desire to be elevated to the Most Noble Order of the Pelican. Words in support of her Elevation came from Mistress Drea, delivered by Mistress Chrestienne de Waterdenne, Master Jose de Madrid, delivered by Mistress Cori Gora, and Master Robert of Sugar Grove, all as members of the Most Noble Order of the Laurel. Words from Mistresses of the Pelican Rosemarian of Edgewater and Ysabeau Tiercelin were also shared, as were words from Duke Marcus from the Chivalry, Duchess Liadain and Duke Elffin O'Mona, shared by His Highness Sven as Royal Peers, and from Lord Christian Goldenlok and Elizabeth and Isabelle von Halstern speaking as members of the populace.
Having heard those words, Their Majesties did then bestow upon Mistress Elisabeth the symbols of her new position, and created her one of their Most Noble Order of the Pelican. Scroll is a work in progress.
Baroness Constance Glyn Dwr was next summoned from her vigil, to speak to her desire for elevation to the same Order. Speaking to her worthiness was Baroness Alexandra dei Campagnella as one of the Pelicans, Duke Rurik as one of the Chivalry, Meesteress Odriana vander Brughe as a Laurel, and Countess Elena as a Royal Peer. Also heard were words from Mistress Amaryllis as a chirurgeon, and words from Count Jehan de la Marche as a Jewel of Æthelmearc, conveyed by Master Morien MacBain.
Their Majesties heard the testimony from those worthies, and did also induct Baroness Constance as one of their Most Noble Order of the Pelican, having bestowed upon her the signs and symbols of that Peerage. Scroll is a work in progress.
Her Majesty then bid Lady Dorothea Stark Shutze attend Her, as she had decided to name Lady Dorothea Her inspiration for the day, and awarded her a Golden Escarbuncle.
Their Majesties then thanked the scribes and craftsmen who had provided their gifts and talents in the creation of the awards and scrolls handed out that day.
However, before closing Their Court, Their Majesties summoned Mistress Graidhne ni Ruaidh before them. Having heard of her work as a scribe and assisting the Sylvan Signet in the work of that office, They thanked her, and did summon Their Most Noble Order of the Laurel to attend them, at this point bidding Mistress Graidhne to accept a writ to sit Vigil to contemplate elevation to that Noble Order at a later date. Scroll by Mistress Hrefna inn Heppna Thorgrimsdottir.
Their being no further business, and by that hour, no further light with which to conduct it, the Court of Their Majesties was then closed.

• Let's start at the top. Definitely worth another view is the Euroleague's "Top 5 plays" video for a wild slate of games two which saw the visitors (including BiE's dark horse pick Power Electronics Valencia – yes!) sweep. Hard to believe that Jeremy Pargo nailing the game-winning for Maccabi Tel Aviv doesn't top the chart, but then again, Caja Laboral Baskonia's Estaban Batista totally breaks the shock and awe with a wicked rejection.
Also starring D'Or Fischer, Malik Hairston, Clay Tucker, Fran Vazquez, and a very posterized Richard Hendrix.
• And just because the Euroleague's heading into the homestretch, here's one from the ever-successful "I feel devotion" campaign, starring the EL players themselves – those that can manage English pretty well, anyway.
• Speaking of promotion, Friday before last, Arvydas Sabonis was in Moscow promoting Eurobasket 2011, visiting folks and surely giving about a zillion interviews.
• Is Real Madrid the heart attack team of Europe…? After splitting a pair of six-point games with PE Valencia that both were too close for fandom's comfort plus the now-infamous 69-68 loss to Unicaja, the host Madridistas barely managed to survive upset-minded Gran Canaria 2014 last night. Spotting the Canaries a 10-point lead early and a nine-point lead at halftime, Real let Sergio Llull take over in the second half to much success.
While the average ACB game has resulted in a seven-plus point win for Real and the team stands in second place, the side is 8-4 against the ACB's top eight, with a combined scoring differential of just +9 points.
• Pau Gasol pledged to donate $1,000 per point he scored against the Los Angeles Clippers last Friday night. Below runs the play that got a couple of Gs sent overseas with an effortless dunk from the big man after an awesome no-look pass from Lamar Odom – just another highlight from a game full of 'em.
• Here's a weird clip plugging YouTube's "Search Stories," the potential of which we can only imagine at present – here's to thinking someone'll create something viral with Search Stories really soon. Incidentally, if you're interested in what a googling of "Tamika Catchings fan club" gets you, here it is.
By the way, what is Charles Barkley drinking there, anyway?
• Finally, here's one for the cat lovers out there. And even the cat haters, really.

BC-Duke Preview
Does anyone else sense some fan apathy around the BC football program? We are not in contention for anything yet the two straight wins have muted the anti-Spaz fervor. I hope people don't take it for granted. Even bad or boring BC football is better than no BC football. Plus we are still playing for something: pride. The bowl streak and winning season streak is certainly watered down by the bowl glut and soft scheduling, but it is still something. Regardless of how you feel about BC winning momentum is good for all. Plus this Duke game might be fun. It matches up strength vs strength.
Overlooked storyline for the game: David Cutcliffe probably would have been interested in the BC job when it went to Jags. Cutcliffe and Gene have the Tennessee connection but he never emerged as a serious candidate. My guess is Cutcliffe's heart issues and southern roots made it seem like a fish out of water. But the Duke coach is actually a converted Catholic who took an assistant job with Charlie Weis in part because he wanted to be part of a Catholic community (and didn't return to ND after his heart issues in part because there wasn't much of a faith/work/life balance during the Weis-Notre Dame years). Would Cutcliffe have been a good fit at BC? Eh, who knows. I am sure the Cutcliffe-Matt Ryan connection would have been fun to watch.
Three Simple Keys
1. Get big plays out of the run game. Duke is not good against the run and we like to run the ball. But the difference this week is to get some big gainers and TDs out of Montel. Duke has enough offensive power that we can't settle for FGs instead of TDs.
2. Sack Renfree. Accurate patient QBs can dink and dunk on us all day. Renfree won't force a bad deep throw and won't miss open guys. To have success we need to flush him out of the pocket and get some sacks.
3. Stop them in the redzone. As I mentioned earlier, I think Duke will move the ball on us. It will be up to the defense to keep them from scoring TDs.
Gambling Notes
-- Spaz has yet to win three ACC games in a row
-- BC did not cover in our last ACC game with Duke (it was a 29 point spread)
-- Cutcliffe has not won a game in November while at Duke
The current line is BC-3.5
Factoid
This will be the first time BC has played in Wallace Wade Stadium. It will be the final "first trip" on our ACC slate.
Scoreboard Watching
It doesn't impact us in any way but I am curious to see how TOB bounces back from last week. NC State controls its own destiny but I have a sneaking suspicion that TOB will do something ultra conservative when a bold move is required and miss the Pack's chance at the division title.
I hope to see...
More passes to Pantale and McCluskey. It is clear we are not going to "open it up." However there is no reason not to get the ball to our safety valve type guys. I hope the pass attempt near 20.
BC is in trouble if...
We get into a real shootout. Duke has a losing record but they've been in multiple games now where they've had to drive the ball while behind. We have yet to show we can play catch up or go score for score.
I don't think this will be a gimme. Duke has the type of offense that can control tempo and move the ball on us. On the other side of the ball, it does help that they have a poor run defense but can that be enough? I think we win, but I don't think it will be comfortable nor pretty.
Final Score: BC 27, Duke 20
Labels: BC vs Duke, game previews
You saw it here first: There is no need to panic.
GDF - "....... There was noone more disappointed than me when we lost five consecutive games, but this program is headed in the right direction. The next several years are going to be very good years around here. There is no need to panic."
Gene DeFilippo: Thank you very much for joining us for today's chat. We'll hold another one in the near future. Go Eagles!
Lenny Sienko said...
Translation: Spaz stays and maybe we won't even shuffle the coordinators.
Jack, where did you find the transcription?
Danny Boy said...
Lenny, you can find a transcript here: http://bceagles.cstv.com/chat/110810aaa.html
Other highlights include GDF arguing that our out of conference schedule is already full of strong competition and that Spaz will lead us to an Orange Bowl in the next 3 years.
blist said...
I gotta admit, as someone originally a fan of the Spaz hire, the strength of the defense this season and the fact we haven't lost 7 in a row make me inclined to drink GDF's koolaid here (to use a really awful comparison) as long as the Nyquilizer is gone next year.
Gdf is a bigger idiot than I imagined. spaz "is one fine football coach". Holy bleep. You've got to be kidding GDF.
"Gene DeFilippo: I work with Coach Spaz on a daily basis and I can tell you that he is one fine football coach. This team continues to improve every week and there's still 25% of the season left to be played."
"Gene DeFilippo: Yes, I do believe that Frank Spaziani will lead us to the Orange Bowl within the next three years. We haven't played in a major bowl game since 1984, and I believe that Spaz will lead us to one. We are all spoiled, especially me. I hate losing and have suffered as much or more than anybody through our five-game losing streak. When I arrived at Boston College in 1997, the football team had three winning seasons in 10 years, was coming off a gambling scandal, and hockey had six consecutive losing seasons. Our record in football over the last decade is 88 wins and 40 losses, and we have been to 11 consecutive bowl games. Our hockey team has won three national championships, and has been to the Frozen Four seven times in the last 11 years. We're spoiled, and the expectations are high, but that's a good thing, because we want high expectations, and we expect to win here at Boston College."

Where's the apathy? Fans were excited at our last home win (thrilled even) and the idea that we could finish with the same record as last year after the HELL we had for a while is shocking.
If we won out plus the bowl game I think it would give us some great momentum for next year.
Danny Boy:
Thanks for the link. I have always enjoyed science fiction and fantasy.
I am beginning to think that 14 years is long enough for GDF, especially if he has lost touch with reality so drastically.
Sometimes I really miss Bill Flynn....sigh.
I am with you Walter. No apathy at all from the BC regulars. We are rebounding from a bad start and building for next year. It is actually exciting to see the team coming together.
Apathy comes are from these clowns who populate the dark recesses of this board who luv to tear down BC(i really can't believe they even went to BC)
Now, let's all say it together:
WE ARE. BC
Win or lose, I will crank up my crappy laptop and support the Eagles.

Lenny,
In GDF's tenure, we've seen 3 hockey national titles, 11 straight winning football seasons (hopefully soon to be 12), regular NCAA appearances by the men's and women's hoops and soccer teams, national championships in sailing, a move to a much more stable and lucrative conference, the construction of the Yawkey Center, and consistently some of the best graduation rates in the country.
Can you name a more successful overall era in BC sports history?
Game. Set. Matty Ice.
Yeah, after completely mauling the QB situation, having an abysmal offense despite having a stud RB and returning OL and good d, almost losing to Kent St, and now winning two games in a row...the team is coming together. Barely beating Wake. Really hope I'm wrong, but I'm not convinced we're improving all that much. Our schedule is, though.
BCDE:
Objection! leading question...[grin]
Given the lack of transparency and the personality of GDF, it is difficult to determine how much of that "success" is attributable to him.
We have also had "musical chairs" coaches in football and women's basketball recently.
I recall when GDF was brought in as a "marketing genius" from a basketball school; i.e., Villanova. I have been disappointed at the lackluster nature of the promotion of the basketball program and the lack of attendance, enthusiasm, etc. even in our new ACC basketball superconference.
This is the first time in those 14 years that I have directly criticized GDF; but when a National Championship Hockey team does not have a radio presence (let alone video); when our football team has done so poorly with a watered-down football schedule that we cannot be seen, even on pay-per-viiew ESPN gameplan, I start to question just how effectively the AD is operating.
The transcript of the chat with GDF set me off (thanks, Jack Krack and Danny), since it sounded so much like a spin-doctor politician. I contrast that with Bill Flynn sitting down with a bunch of us undergrads to talk about supporting the BC basketball program with the "Zoo" section ( the precursor to "superfans", and his straight talk.
I realize that GDF now runs a much bigger operation and things are more complicated; but I expect straight talk from the BC AD.
Lets hope we win out in football and make it to a meaningless bowl somewhere. I'll watch; but I don't have the same good feeling I once did about the program. As I get older, I have less patience (and time) to wait for "mistakes" to be corrected.
I am encouraged by Donahue in basketball. Hopefully, we'll be able to see some of the games; but I'm not depending on GDF to have done a good enough selling job for coverage to be available.

7 Vegetarians Share How They Made The Switch To Plant-Based

By JR Thorpe
If you're thinking of becoming a vegetarian, you may be balking at the amount of work involved. Finding replacements for your go-to late-night sausage sandwiches, learning new recipes, clearing out the ancient frozen burritos from your freezer isn't an act of Kondo-ing you can do in a weekend. But people who've gone through it say it's not as hard as it looks. The transition to vegetarianism can lead you to big discoveries about flavor, ethics, sustainability, and more. All it takes, vegetarians tell Bustle, is a little forward planning.
Anybody who's committing to being vegetarian for the first time needs to ensure they're getting enough nutrition, Dr. Nadja Pinnavaia Ph.D., founder of vegetarian food business Plantable, tells Bustle. "Make sure you're getting enough plant-based protein for satiety," she says. "Incorporate beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds into your diet to keep blood sugar stable and energy up." She also recommends increasing your water intake, as switching to vegetarian diet with a lot of whole foods will likely mean you're eating a lot more fiber, which can increase your risk of dehydration and constipation.
Another tip? Don't go it alone. Here are the best ways to go vegetarian, according to people who've made the change from omnivorous to plant-based eating.

"My only advice would be to rip the Band-Aid off quickly. Reducing meat slowly probably works for some people, but it might discourage others. To succeed, I suggest trying out the vegetarian or pescatarian diet for a whole year and then decide to keep going or not. It's a habit, like any other, and it's not easy at the beginning. For months, I was craving meat and my skin was breaking out due to the diet changes. But now, I'm so happy I did it."
LA, 51
"I made the transition in one weekend! I stopped meat, alcohol, gluten, and coffee for 30 then 60 days and felt so much better.
"This past January, I participated in Veganuary, which meant 31 days of no meat, seafood, or dairy. It was a challenge at first but then I got creative. I spit my fridge in half and put vegan stuff on the right and everything else on the left. I'm not sure that I will never have seafood again and I'm down for the occasional omelette, but I absolutely won't ever go back to chicken, steak, and so on."
Jaimie, 29
"My entire family went vegetarian when I was a kid in the '90s, back when being vegetarian was far less trendy than it is today. My advice is to recognize that there are two main approaches to main dietary changes. Some people quit meat cold turkey, while others plan a gradual transition. The downside to the cold turkey method is that it can be a bit of a shock on the body. I recommend a gradual transition period of several months or even half a year.
"It will take the body time to adjust to a new diet. I eat legumes four to six times per week, and a ton of vegetables. If you're not used to this, your gut will start producing painful gas and other unmentionable symptoms that you will find discouraging.
"You'll need to be prepared for friends and family to ask a lot of questions. Nobody likes a crusading vegetarian, but they'll be more likely to listen to you talk about your tempeh if you show some courtesy for their chicken wings."

"I've been vegetarian for about 13 years. I highly recommend avoiding late-night food or bar-food situations in the beginning, as vegetarian options will be limited and you'll be more tempted to nosh on whatever is easy and available. If you're at a meat-heavy restaurant with limited veggie options, you can always ask your waiter what they recommend. Very often the kitchen will offer to whip something up for you that will be outstanding and off the menu.
"Be sure to allow yourself access to other foods that you love, even if, or especially if, they're indulgent and bring you joy. Most importantly, if you get into a situation where you slip up in the beginning, don't be too hard on yourself and don't use it as an excuse to give up completely. Changing habits long-term is hard!"
Maya, 30s
"Pick one consistent meal and see how it can be modified to align with a vegetarian approach. A whole day may feel overwhelming, so starting small can help build momentum.
"Look outside of the processed foods section at the store and limit making direct swaps. If you typically have bacon with breakfast, don't automatically replace it with soy-based bacon. Instead, look to different, minimally processed protein-rich foods to enjoy on the side.
"When possible, opt for adding plant-based proteins (pea protein, flax, chia seeds, etc.) versus animal-based (cheese, eggs, milk) to meals. Most Americans fall short in reaching their daily dietary goals, so this will help increase fiber and limit saturated fat and dietary cholesterol."
Shena, 33
"Start experimenting with plant-based protein choices before fully cutting out all animal products. Choose tofu, tempeh, beans, and other proteins you may not be used to using in cooking. Try out one to two new recipes per week and learn the style of vegetarian meal prep, which can seem different at first.
"Discard the expectation that you need to find something that tastes just like meat or cheese! While it's absolutely possible to mimic these flavors, we are limiting the possibility of exploring fantastic flavors by trying to stick with only the flavors we're familiar with.
"Keep a food journal, at least in your initial transition. Choosing plant-based can mean a lot of behavioral and dietary fluctuations. In the process, it can be really easy to become nutrient-deficient. A food journal can be helpful in keeping your favorite new food ideas that can be pulled back out for later.
"Expect to shop more frequently. Since the bulk of your choices are plant-based, these can perish more quickly. Keep dried goods like beans, lentils, grains, seeds, and spices on hand.
"Keep in mind all your efforts are just feedback. If you're experimenting and create an absolutely terrible meal, use it as a teaching moment. Try to identify what went wrong to make something incredible next time."
Chloe, 26
"My best advice would be to find a group of like-minded people. It can be in real life or on Facebook, but it's easiest to stay on track if you are part of a community. There are tons of great 'vegetarian for beginners' groups on Facebook where you can ask questions, get recipe inspiration and more.
"Don't put yourself in a rut. Try lots of different foods, meat substitutes, fruits, and vegetables, and try making them in new ways. When you rely on meat to bring the main flavors to most your meals, you are actually missing out on lots of great, and extremely nutritious foods! Challenge yourself to find a new vegetable in the supermarket to try out. If you don't live in an area with any vegetarian specialty foods, there are a lot of places you can order from online."
Whether you choose to take it slow or make a quick change, the switch to vegetarianism doesn't have to be a chore. The world is more vegetarian-friendly than ever — and with a bit of preparation, transitioning to a meat-free diet can be headache-free. And it's very easy to find vegan dark chocolate.


Stillness woke me after a full night of wave running under cover of darkness. I slipped outside of my cabin to see that our boat, the Letty, was anchored in the heart of Genovesa Island. This island is a dormant volcano and a portion of the caldera's wall collapsed thousands of years ago. When it did, the sea flooded the crater to form Great Darwin Bay. It felt like we were floating within the beginning of the world.
Why all the birds here? No other land animal could migrate this far north in the Archipelago.
As I snuck out of my cabin, camera in hand, hundreds of frigatebirds flew through the waning moonlight. (Look for tiny black dots against the purple sky.) These birds have wingspans of 7.5 feet, which explains why they made it this far. Sillouettes of still-sleepy red-footed boobies could be seen resting in scrubby trees atop the surrounding cliffs as the sun rose. With a wingspan of 5 feet, they, too are strong flyers.
Taking a quick panga ride from the Letty to the caldera's edge, we got out at the foot of Prince Philip's Steps. Ascending an 82 foot cliff, we used the aid of 2x4 rails for handholds.
The lower cliffside was speckeled with brilliant red Sally Lightfoot crabs. Much of the black rock above the waterline? That was streaked white thanks to the many birds we are about to meet.
My first bird sighting was a baby Nazca boobie. At nearly a foot tall, this awkward, beaky puff rested on it's haunches at the start of our path. Blue eyes twinkled hello as we walked past. He did not move, and he was not alone.
Nazca boobies nest on the ground with no structure beyond a single layer of scattered twigs and pebbles. Rather than formal nesting material, parents' feet protect the egg. None of these birds were compelled to move as we walked by.
Because Galapagos boobies nest all year long, many stages of growth were represented. We saw eggs, skin-and-bone hatchlings in their parents' shade, toddling kindergardners mimicking parental behaviors, and patient parents tolerating cranky teens up in their beaks demanding food.
While Nazca bobies typically lay 2 eggs. The first sibling to hatch pushes the other egg away. And those doting parents? They do nothing to stop it. The egg will die.
I'm not sure what signals got crossed in the stages of evolution, but this development doesn't make much sense.
Another baby made our acquaintance, this time of the red-footed kind. Red-footed boobies, unlike Nazca boobies, grow in short, scrubby Palo Santo trees. And this is how I happened upon one. Face to face. We were equally surprised.
You'd think, with a mouth that big, a scream accompanied the expression, but no. It's not that they don't make noise. They certainly do — a repetative, raspy call as they wave their heads back and forth. But boobies of all ages silently open their mouths and flutter their throats to show off their blue interior.
Red-footed boobies are the smallest of all boobies. They come in brown or white and breed across all morphs, but each shares the same red footed trait. Females lay a single egg cared for by both parents in twiggy tree nests.
When babies hatch, it can take as long as 3 month for them to fly short distances, and up to 5 months before they make longer flights. Even adults awkwardly fly while taking off or landing from twiggy branches, yet they adeptly fly up to 90 miles when deep diving for fish in a synchronized formation.
For the record, the brownish variation of red-footed boobies closely resemble actual brown boobies. Can you spot the differences between the two in the slideshow below?
Standing atop Genovesa's caldera rim, the strong sun bore down upon us with little shady refuge. My skin burned easily, even through sunsreen, and the salty air my my thirst unquenchable — which explains the reason for the terrain.
With so little water available or retained by the volcanic rock, Palo Santo trees, conserve energy by putting out few small leaves during June's wintery dry season. The trees look to be on death's doorstep, which was surprising to me. And I'm not alone. Charles Darwin noted this same observance upon his arrival.
Finding vastly different conditions than at their origins due to dry, cooling currents from the South Pole and west, migrating animals either adapted to thier new location or risked death. Darwin first noted 4 distinct differences in mockingbird across 4 different islands with varrying conditions. The same was noted in finches, tortoises, and others. Thus Darwin's Theory of Evolution was born.
Following Ceci, our guide, down the marked path, we crossed an open lava field to find thousands of swarming storm petrals and a Galapagos short-eared owl.
Different than anywhere else in the world, storm petrals in the Galapagos are active during the day. They return to their nest holes at night to avoid predators.
Short-ear owls are also active during the day, hunting when their prey is most active. We found a severed black wing indicating that the owls had recently fed.
A lone sea iguana, the smallest adaptation in the archipelago, marched across the volcanic rock after climing up the steep cliffs. And, perched Frigatebirds, one with it's red throat pouch brilliantly displayed, sat on nearby nests. I could have stayed all day, but it was time to head back for lunch and set out on our next adventure.
See our new feathered friends in action. Through footage taken with my little handheld camcorder, you'll see behaviors and hear gutteral boobie chatter that still shots simply can't convey. You'll also get a sneak peek of a fun enounter! I'll give you a hint. It's like a puppy, but not.
Up Next: A Sharky Snorkel and New Shore Birds!
Come snorkeling in murkey waters as we encounter a Hammerhead shark and a pleathora of oceanic beasities. Aftrward, we'll stroll the base of Genovesa's cliffs where Darwin Bay's sandy shores are home to gulls whose eyes are neon pink!
