How I got My Son to do Devotions…and Love It.
I am often very fluid when it comes to my own devotions, so making a time to gather the kids to sit around and listen to me wax lyrical and then ask them a bunch of deep and meaningfuls (groan), not to mention throwing homework into the mix – I was on the verge of giving up. If you ignore it, it goes away right?!
Out of the Ordinary Devotions – Now Available!
Are you Using your Introverted Personality as a Scapegoat for Insecurity?
when faced with the decision to do something that makes me uncomfortable, I often opt out and refer to my introverted personality as the culprit…that way I don't need to take responsibility for my insecurity.
When you think of a long road trip and three young children, 'easy parenting' is probably not what comes to mind. In fact, for some, it probably sounds like a nightmare.
The word for 'help meet' in the Bible is often translated 'helper' or 'companion', but is this really all God created a wife for?
While it's important for kids to learn to deal with fear on their own, it's up to us as parents to teach them how to do it.
It's not always easy to be obedient, but there is nothing that God asks us to do that isn't for our benefit, and His. So what's the deal with a sacrifice of praise? And what's the purpose besides doing it because the Bible says so?

Man does not live by wine alone. Not even with beer to help him out. No, there are times in a fella's life when he needs a garden to bring him peace and happiness.
The garden has been really productive this year. Between a stretch of good weather early on, a long dry summer and a new fertilizer regimen I've managed to harvest huge volumes of peas, zucchini blossoms and marrows, basil for days, cabbages, cauliflower, artichokes, cilantro, peppers, broccoli, carrots, spinach, currants, apples, et cetera, et cetera.
Photogenic vegetables! Yellow zucchini, cauliflower and flat-leaf parsley.
There is one crop that often eludes me: tomatoes. We're technically zone 8, but the garden is right on the water just off of Mud Bay in Crescent Beach. This means we get a lot of cool, damp nights in late summer, right at the moment when we need one last push of heat to finish ripening our tomatoes. This usually means blight, right when you're hoping for a good crop.
Dunsmuir Gardens. I've had my plot for 17 years!
The only two cures are 1) planting the earliest-ripening tomatoes you can find, and 2) good luck with the weather. This year we had both, and the tomatoes are coming in thick and fast–and ripe.
First things first, you gotta have some toasted tomato sandwiches.
Homemade bread, mayo and the green stuff is homemade pesto from my basil. Flaked Murray River salt and cracked pepper is exactly right. No bacon on this one as I was starting to get a curly tail and a snub nose . . .
But after a couple of dozen sandwiches (and so much bacon) with the tomatoes piling up, it was time to make some sauce.
The classic Italian pomodoro is quick tomato sauce that's ready in less than half an hour, but it it uses canned Roma tomatoes, which are already very well-cooked during processing. For a sauce from fresh tomatoes you need a little more time and planning.
Step one, saute some onions and peppers until completely soft.
Small dice sweet onion and red peppers.
This takes a lot longer than cookbooks or internet recipes tell you. I'm not sure why everyone lies: "Cook until soft, 10 minutes or so." No Debra, it's more like a good 30-40 minutes to get onions thoroughly soft, and it's crucial: if the onions aren't soft before the tomatoes are added, the acid in the tomatoes will set the onions and they'll stay disconcertingly firm no matter how long you cook the sauce. Olive oil, medium heat, lots of patience.
Once the onions are completely soft, add them to the pan.
Pardon the dirty stove-top. I cook a lot, clean a little less.
The little brown things that look like Kalamata olives are actually black cherry tomatoes. They're really bright tasting and very zippy and sweet. Even a few adds a lot of flavour to a sauce. The only other thing needed at this point is a a whole head of garlic chopped fine, and a healthy pinch of kosher salt–about a teaspoon. The salt at this point helps break down the tomatoes and bust cell membranes, releasing juice. It will need more salt before it's used, but a pinch now is the way.
This has to cook down a long, long time, at least three hours. I was able to roast three batches of coffee, finish my business correspondence, edit an article I was working on, fight with a seagull and do some vacuuming while it cooked. You can tell it's done when the clear liquid is reduced and the raw tomato taste is replaced by a sweet intensity of flavour.
That's the way to store Summer for the Fall.
Then it's ready to eat or freeze: it'll keep for about three months tightly sealed in a freezer. As a base tomato sauce it's fantastic on pizza, in lasagna, or adapted to a soup or any number of others. But for me it shines best in a simple kjilkje. The food of my people, kjilkje is homemade noodles, usually served with bacon or sausage, a tomato sauce and lots of other Mennonites crowded around to eat vast plates of it and chase it down with hot, sweet tea.
This time I diced and fried some of my guanciale (Italian pork jowl bacon that I make) and topped the noodles with that, sauce, a bit of Parmigiano Reggiano and some fresh chopped basil.

UPI Thoroughbred Racing Roundup
ROBERT KIECKHEFER, UPI Racing Writer
A starting gate full of qualified contenders makes Saturday's 128th running of the Kentucky Derby one of the most interesting and competitive in years.
The exact makeup of the field won't be known until Wednesday, since more than the maximum 20 starters are still interested in the race. If more than 20 are entered, earnings determine who gets in and who doesn't.
It's hard to find a horse to dismiss, even going beyond the top 20.
Likely favorite off his victories in the Toyota Blue Grass and the Florida Derby is Harlan's Holiday. Others likely to attract attention at the windows are the first two from the Wood Memorial -- Buddah and Medaglia d'Oro, Santa Anita Derby 1-2 Came Home and Easy Grades, Illinois Derby winner and Saturday's likely pace-setter War Emblem, and the first two finishers from the Arkansas Derby, Private Emblem and Wild Horses.
Question marks include the European contingent of Castle Gondolfo and Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Johannesburg, as well as the Godolphin Racing hopeful, UAE Derby winner Essence of Dubai. In recent years, limited preparations overseas have not proved a winning route to victory in the Run for the Roses.
Among those hoping for a defection to get them into the field are U S S Tinosa, who ran fifth in the Santa Anita Derby, and a Japanese-bred, Sunday Break, who showed promise in the Wood.
As usual, all the other tracks currently conducting live racing expect a banner day Saturday with the Churchill Downs simulcast serving as a centerpiece of the day's activity. The weather handicappers see thunderstorms mid-week in Louisville but at least some of them call for dry conditions for the Kentucky Oaks on Friday and on Derby Day.
In weekend racing:
Sportsman's Park
Javier Castellano was unfamiliar with Sportsman's Park -- and especially its long homestretch when he loaded With Ability into the starting gate for Sunday's $300,000 Sixty Sails Handicap. But he obviously knew the best place to put a horse at the Cicero, Ill., oval. With Ability, a 4-year-old daughter of A.P. Indy, went right to an unchallenged lead when Pretty Gale stumbled out of the gate. She opened up a comfortable margin and coasted home a 5 ¾-lengths winner over Lakenheath. Katy Kat was third. "This is my first time riding here," Castellano said. "I was surprised when I turned for home and I said, 'Oh my God. I don't see the finish line." The win was the third in five starts this year for With Ability, trained by Mark Hennig. She finished 9 furlongs in 1:51.37.
Saturday, Emeraldforajudge used the same front-running tactics to win the $100,000 National Jockey Club Oaks by 3 ¼ lengths over Summer Delight. With Larry Sterling Jr. up, the Judge T C filly picked up her first win in three starts this year." She was a little rank on me the first half mile and I was a little worried," said Sterling. "Then she started to settle down and she was fine from there." First Again, the mutuel favorite, stumbed at the start and never reached contention, finishing fourth.
They came from both coasts to contest Saturday night's $300,000 Texas Mile but it was local boy Unrullah Bull who had his picture taken in the winner's circle. With Tony Lovato up, the 5-year-old son of Conquistador Cielo got the best of a wild, six-horse cavalry charge into the stretch. He then went by pace-setting Florida invader Hal's Hope and edged clear to win by 1 ½ lengths. Reba's Gold had to settle for second after traveling from California. Compendium was up late to finish fourth. The time was 1:37.78. At least three horses had to check in the jam-up on the final turn and the stewards looked at the tape before hanging up the "official" sign. Lovato said his horse "might have laid on (Compendium) a little bit. But the other horse was laying right back on him. We hugged that other horse real tight and just kept going." Inside of them, Hal's Hope, Mercenary, Compendium and Five Straight all were bouncing around. "They were shooting for the lead and there was some race riding going on," said steward Jerry Burgess. Unrullah Bull, claimed for $25,000 last summer, has won four of five starts on the Lone Star main track for owners Jim and Theresa Donnan. Trainer Cole Norman said he hopes the next will be the $300,000 Lone Star Park Handicap on May 27.
Bay Meadows
Suances surged quickly to the lead in Saturday's $250,000 San Francisco Breeders' Cup Mile Handicap, relaxed on the lead and coasted home a winner by 1 length over Decarchy. The Tin Man was third and Sarafan last in a short field. Suances, a 5-year-old English-bred by Most Welcome, finished in 1:35.19. "I was surprised nobody pushed me early," said winning rider David Flores. "As long as they don't push, I don't have to accelerate." Decharcy's rider, Kent Desormeaux, said he wasn't worried about the pace. "The slower the better, as far as I was concerned, because I was thinking they're not going to out-quicken my horse."
Sunday, Boss Ego surged to the lead a furlong from home in Sunday's $55,000 San Carlos Handicap, then held off Out of Mind to win by a head. Moonlight Meeting was third. Boss Ego, a 6-year-old son of Pleasant Tap, got the 1 mile on a fast track in 1:34.79. "It went pretty much according to plan," said winning rider Russell Baze.
Keeneland
Can really be over already? Proper Gamble won the last stakes event of Keeneland's sprint meet, leading most of the way to win Friday's $250,000 Stonerside Beaumont Stakes for 3-year-old fillies by a nose over a late-running Respectful. Vicki Vallencourt was third. Proper Gamble, a daughter of Prospectors Gamble, got the 7 furlongs in 1:28.79. "She's just one of those horses who loves to fight," trainer Todd Pletcher said of the stretch battle.
Wake At Noon passed $1 million in career earning with his victory in Saturday's $150,000 Vigil Stakes. The 5-year-old son of Cure The Blues stalked the early pace set by Dream Launcher. He went to the lead on the turn under jockey Emile Ramsammy and won by 1 ¼ length over Exciting Story. Geraint was third. It was the third stakes win of the year for Wake At Noon, following the Briartic and the Jacques Cartier. "He's really improved," said Ramsammy. He's easier to ride and he learned his game."
Sky Terrace came out running in Saturday's $100,000 Derby Trial and didn't stop, winning by 2 lengths over odds-on favorite Cashel Castle. Ide Be Spencers was third. The win was the third in seven starts for Sky Terrace, a son of Skywalker, who is not nominated to the Triple Crown races. The 1 mile on a sloppy track took 1:36 4/5. "He broke sharp and put me right in the race and he was good enough," said winning rider Craig Perret. "Down the road, he might be able to handle two turns.
Calkins Road was just along at the wire to win Sunday's $250,000
Cal Fed Snow Chief Stakes for 3-year-olds by a head over Menacing Dennis. Highly Suspect was third and the favorite, Gobi Dan, was fourth. Calkins Road, a son of Illinois Storm, ran 9 furlongs in 1:51.07. The Snow Chief highlighted a day of stakes races for Cal-breds.
Native Desert came from far back to win the $175,000 TVG Khaled Stakes at 1 1/16 mile on the grass. High Hefner led until the final jumps and Visual Energy was third. Native Desert, a 9-year-old Desert Classic gelding, was timed in 1:41.87. The only other 9-year-old stakes winner in Hollysood Park history was John Henry.
Laffit Pincay Jr. guided Ladylore through a small hole on the rail in the stretch run of the $200,000 Melair Stakes for 3-year-old fillies and upset the event by 1 ½ lengths over Super High. Calzada Kid was third. Ladylore, by Video Ranger, ran 1 1/16 mile in 1:44.88.
Smokin' Charlotte drew clear in the stretch to win the $175,000 Fran's Valentine Stakes by 3 ½ lengths over Stetson Lady, finishing 1 1/16 miles on the green course in 1:41.94. Favorite Funtime led most of the way to beat Song of Summer by 1 ½ lengths in the $150,000 B. Thoughtful Stakes for fillies and mares at 7 furlongs. And in the Quicken Tree Stakes on the grass at 1 ½ mile, Adminniestrator outfinished Turkish Prize to win by 1 ½ lengths. Adminniestrator is a 5-year-old son of Incinderator out of Admiral Minnie. How cute is that?
Queen of Wilshire got an uncontested lead in Saturday's $100,000 Hawthorne Handicap, opened up daylight over four fivals and just held on to win by a nose over Alexine at the end. Verruma was third. Queen of Wilshire, a 6-year-old mare by Major Impact, ran 1 1/16 mile under Patrick Valenzuela in 1:43.16. Valenzuela said two scratches, including Stormy Society, "sure didn't hurt." He said he was particularly worried about Stormy Society because, "I know she needs to be on the lead. If she were in there, I probably would have had to sit off her." Gary Stevens said Alexine "got wiped out leaving the gate" when she was pinched back and then steadied. Queen of Wilshire was scratched from Friday's Wilshire Handicap to run in the Hawthorne.
Eurolink Raindance rolled from the back of a five-horse field to win Friday's $100,000 Wilshire Handicap by a head over Crazy Ensign, with Impeachable another head back in third. Eurolink Raindance, a 5-year-old Irish-bred, ran the 1 mile on firm turf in 1:34.31 under Chris McCarron. Trainer Ben Cecil said he thinks the mare "is going to be better at a mile and an eighth. But she certainly ran well today."
Pyrus set the pace, saving ground, in Saturday's $100,000 Fort Marcy Handicap, then held on to win by a neck over Proud Man. Capsized was third. The favorite, Sharp Performance, broke down in the stretch run while challenging for the lead and was vanned off. Pyrus, a 4-year-old son of Mr. Prospector, ran 1 1/16 mile on a yielding course in 1:44.53. "This was his best effort today," said Ryan Van Tilburg, assistant to trainer Elliott Walden. "We're going to take him back to Kentucky and regroup." Trainer David Donk said Sunday Sharp Performance suffered "severe soft-tissue damage in both front legs....It's a shame. I'm very upset."
Fonner Park
Miner's Prize rolled from far back in the field to nip early leader and mutuel favorite Fight For Ally by a head in Saturday's $100,000 Bosselman/Gus Fonner Handicap. The winning margin was a head and Miner's Prize, a 5-year-old son of Miner's Mark, finished the 1 1/16 mile in 1:48 4/5 on a muddy track. Rub was third, just a neck farther back after tracking the leader most of the way.
Fappie's Notebook swapped the lead with Danaher Steve down the stretch in Saturday's $75,000 Ponche Handicap before prevailing by ¾ length. Callie and Jake was third. Fappie's Notebook, a 5-year-old son of Notebook, took 1:11.12 for the 6 furlongs on a fast track. "My horse doesn't like the lead," said winning rider Cornelio Velasquez. "At the quarter pole, he wanted to wait and wait. He was running good and I had a lot of horse in the stretch." Trainer Manny Tortora said he hopes to stretch Fappie's Notebook out to 1 1/16 mile for the $100,000 Memorial Day Handicap.
Ms Well ran well in Saturday's $75,000 Peach Blossom Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, dominating seven rivals in the lane to win by 3 ¼ lengths. Haunted Lass was second and the favorite, Cherokee Girl, was third. Ms Well, a Florida-bred daughter of Mister Jolie, ran 6 furlongs in 1:10.51. "We do not have too many go off 8-1. That's for sure," said winning trainer Scott Lake. He said he was surprised at how thoroughly Ms Well dominated the race and will reconsider where he next start will be. Added winning rider Clinton Potts, "She did just what she wanted to do. She had her mind made up that she wanted to win."
On Friday, For Rubies sat behind and outside the early speed in the $50,000 Goldfinch Stakes, then let his filly take charge for a ¾-length victory. Don't Countess Out was second and Freddy's Folly, the pace-setter, got home third. Winning rider Justin Vitek said trainer Lynn Whiting told him to ride off the pace. "I just hoped that I didn't move on her too soon," he added.
Saturday, Private Horde came from off the pace to score a 4-length victory over Vito Corleone in the $50,000 Golden Circle Stakes for 3-year-olds. Only the third choice in the mutuels, winning trainer Joe Cain said he thought his Brunswick colt was overlooked. He said bettors apparently overlooked competition in Kentucky races that included likely Kentucky Derby starters Request foor Parole and Perfect Drift. "He would go with those horses for a mile and I thought that this field would be in trouble with him," Cain said.
Vesta took command in the stretch run to win Saturday's $50,000 Smart Halo Stakes by 6 lengths over Fresh Tracks. Gracefulciti was third. winning rider Mario Pino rode the New York-based winner, who went off as 3-5 favorite. "She kicked in nicely and finished very strong," he said.
Crowning Meeting obviously enjoyed the long vacation that ended with Sunday's $35,000 Seattle Handicap. The 8-year-old General Meeting gelding waited well behind the early speed, then moved when jockey Gary Baze asked him to go, winning by a head over Road Afleet. The time of 1:07 4/5 tied the track record set by Handy N Bold in the same race two years ago. Handy N Bold this year was used up on the pace. Said winning trainer Sharon Ross: "Our main goal is the (Longacres) Mile (on Aug. 25). But we don't have to dance every dance between now and then."
Onasilverplatter won his sixth straight race at Tampa Bay on Saturday, half on the turf and half on the main track. The year-old son of Ide has won at distances from 7 furlongs to 1 1/16 mile and now heads to Finger Lakes to try to continue the streak.
Everyone in the grandstand saw the entry of Eagleton and Bristolville in Sunday's $35,000 Wildcat Handicap at 11 furlongs on the grass. Bet down to 10 cents on the dollar, the duo finished 1-2, with Venturesome Beau 1 ¾ lengths back in third. Eagleton, a 6-year-old Virgina-bred by Majestic Light, got the win by 2 lengths over his stablemate, finishing in 2:16.62.
Last time Hollywood Park had a rollover of a $1 million guaranteed Pick Six, the jackpot ballooned to more than $3.5 million the next racing day. That's the same scenario now awaiting Wednesday card after no one hit all six winners Sunday. No wonder, either, with win payoffs of $65.40, $50.40 and $23.60 making up half the wager.

27th Annual ESPY Awards 2019


Marriage is often regarded as one of the most joyous and memorable events to happen in one's life. There is usually a large amount of preparation before the event and an even larger ceremony to celebrate the new couple. However, not all couples are able to keep that joy once they have been married for some time. Divorce is a term that no newlywed couple wants to think about despite how common it is. In fact, nearly one-third of all Australian marriages will end in divorce. Sometimes a marriage can be ended without the need of a lawyer but this is extremely uncommon and is not often advised. Nearly every divorce will require the expertise of a divorce lawyer when it comes to splitting property and assets. If you fear that a divorce is imminent in your future, you should begin to look up what a divorce lawyer can do for you.
As the name might suggest, a divorce lawyer is one who specialises in handling divorces. Legally, marriages are contracts; thus, a divorce is the dissolution of that contract. This means that assets, belongings, and property have to be split among the former couple. This process can be difficult, especially if the divorce was not made on good terms. When this situation occurs, divorce lawyers in Sydney are able to help. These specialised lawyers will be able to help you file for divorce, which might seem to be a straightforward process but involves many intricacies that you might miss without the diligent eyes and knowledge of a lawyer.
For example, filing for divorce has several requirements such as a Proof of Marriage, a separation period of at least 12 months, and more. The divorce lawyer will be able to work with you in understanding how to properly file for divorce as well as fill out all the forms adequately. The lawyer will also go over what the legal definition of separation entails. If you have children, you might not want to physically separate from your partner for the sake of those children. That being said, under current Australian legislation, it is possible for a couple to be separated while living under the same roof. The divorce lawyer will be more than happy to help you with this, both for your sake and the sake of your children's future.
If you choose to proceed with a divorce without the help of an experienced and dependable lawyer, you might find yourself in a less-than-adequate situation. You might find that your application for divorce has been denied because you did not fill out the forms properly. If your ex-spouse has the help of a lawyer on his or her side, you might find yourself at a complete disadvantage as well. This kind of situation can be extremely problematic. However, with the help of a divorce lawyer on your side, you can rest assured that you will be able to fill out the forms properly. You can also rest comfortably knowing that the lawyer wants what's best not only for you but for any children that you have as well.


Dice up the vegetables you are using and mix them together in a bowl.
If you are using olives, rinse them off with warm water to remove some of the salty solution that they are stored in. This will help reduce their sodium content.
Grate the cheese using the large holes on the grater.
Evenly spread the tomato paste onto the crust.
Evenly spread the cheese on top of the tomato paste.
Putting the cheese under the vegetables keeps the cheese from burning and helps dry out the vegetables so you won't have a wet pizza.
Evenly spread the vegetables over the cheese.
Evenly sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, parsley and basil over the vegetables. Be careful with how much you add if you are using dried herbs (or garlic powder over fresh garlic bulbs) since they are much more concentrated than fresh ones.
Place the pizza in the over and leave it in for 15-20 minutes or until the crust reaches your desired level of crunchiness.
Let the pizza cool for about 10 minutes and then cut it up.
You can substitute any of the dried herbs for fresh ones but you may need to use slightly more. You can also use fresh garlic over garlic powder.
You can replace tomato paste with pizza sauce but tomato paste is used in this recipe because of its low sodium content. Check the sodium content of the pizza sauce before you buy it, some can be very high.
If you want to make this into a deluxe pizza, just add any kind of meat. Make sure the meat is fully cooked before placing it on the pizza. Place the meat under the cheese since it does not need any further cooking. All the ingredients on top will prevent it from getting burned. You can use chicken, ground beef or pepperoni.
To decrease the calorie content, try using a thin crust. You can also replace the whole cheese with a low fat version.
Mixing flax seeds with the vegetables will give your pizza a crunchier texture as well as adding some essential fatty acids.
Why is this healthy and who is this for?
This meal is a healthy option if you love pizza but do not want to go out or order one. Pizza is usually thought of as an unhealthy food. It has a lot of cheese, white crust and little in the way of good vegetables. If you make it right, it has the potential to be a very healthy food.
This recipe calls for a limited amount of cheese, no meat, a whole wheat crust, tomato paste and a lot of fresh vegetables. The vegetables and whole wheat crust add vitamins, minerals and most importantly fiber. Fiber is healthy and can help keep you full so you won't eat as much as you would with a white crust.
Tomato paste is also used because the only ingredient in it is tomatoes. Unlike pizza sauces, it is very low in sodium and still contains some vitamins and minerals. This pizza can be enjoyed by people who are on a diet or those who are trying to gain weight. The total calorie count will depend on how many slices your divide the pizza into.

Prada Marfa Vandalized in apparent Social/Political Statement
[gallery ids="17530,17531,17532,17533,17551,17552,17553,17554,17541,17542,17571,17575"]
We'll be following this story as it continues to develop - follow this link and look to the bottom of the page for the latest updates we have.
Update 3/13, 12:40 PM: Jeff Davis County Deputy Sheriff Drew Walker says authorities have identified a suspect, but they aren't yet releasing the name.
Update 3/12, 1:30 PM: The Jeff Davis County Sheriff's Office says an investigation into the vandalism is currently underway, and that they do have "a few leads" they're following up on, but they're not releasing any further details at this time.
As previously reported, there hasn't been any confirmation of who was responsible for the damage or how many people were involved, but for the past couple of days signs have pointed to an artist who goes only by the name of "9271997."
The artist's website was updated today with an image of the damaged Prada Marfa installation, along with a full version of the manifesto that was left at the scene (see our slideshow above for pictures.)
Update 2:30 PM:
The Big Bend Sentinel was contacted earlier today via text by the person who may have been responsible for vandalizing the Prada Marfa installation, and may have still been in the area on Monday.
The paper previously reported that a signature scrawled in the blue paint at the site of the damaged artwork seemed to point to an artist known only as "9271997." (Read below for more on that.)
Now, the Sentinel says that person has contacted one of their reporters with a series of texts, with one apparently seeming to reference the damage done to Prada Marfa.
"Nothing wrong with all of it," the person told reporter John Daniel Garcia, "Can't wait for a proposal or call for art by the 'art world.'"
Ballroom Marfa has released a statement in response to this weekend's vandalizing of Prada Marfa.
The organization denounced the act, saying while the installation does elicit a wide variety of reactions, the damage done in this instance "overwhelms this forum and shuts down the dialogue."
Ballroom says it will be restoring the project and keeping the site public, but no other specific decisions have been made yet over how to deal with the vandalism.

Prada Marfa, the art installation in Valentine, Texas, was vandalized with blue spray paint on either side of the building sometime in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The Jeff Davis Sheriff's office was notified around 6:00 AM on Sunday and have yet to find a suspect.
Along with the blue spray paint, the building was also covered with flyers from the Tom's Shoe Company's "One for One" campaign.
Also adorning the installation were quotes from French Artist Henry Matisse and Jack Kerouac. The graffiti was tagged with a signaturing reading "4 LIFE J.2014." The Big Bend Sentinel traced that signature to an artist who goes only by the name "9271997."
A manifesto was also tacked to one of the walls outlining the motivation for the vandalism. In it, the author harshly criticizes the installation as "society's apocalyptic theater," and goes on to dismiss the work as ironic and a product of an outdated Bourgeoisie.
The Big Bend Sentinel traced a signature left on the graffiti that read "J.2014" to an artist who goes only by the name "9271997."
It's still unclear how many people were involved, but Valentine resident and Prada Marfa Site Representative Boyd Elder says given the extent of the damage, it's likely the perpetrators did not act alone.
"There's a considerable amount of damage done to the site itself," Elder says, "it was obviously very-well organized."
The future of Prada Marfa has been uncertain for some time now.
The Texas Department of Transportation last fall decided to designate the installation an "illegal outdoor advertising sign," partly because TXDOT made the same ruling over the short-lived Play Marfa installation along the same highway.
TXDOT ordered that work to be moved, but it's yet to say whether it will make the same decision for Prada Marfa. However, Wendy Knox, the supervisor of TXDOT's Outdoor Advertising Regulatory Program, told the New York Times back in September that the agency "will take action on it."
The message in the manifesto at times takes on social and political tones, at one point suggesting to its audience that "so long as you buy TOMS shoes, and endorse Jesus Christ as your savior, welcoming the "white" him into your heart. So help you God, otherwise your damned to hell" and the first page ends with "Welcome to your Apocalypse?"
The words also criticize the installation directly:
"The irony of Prada Marfa, it's fake. Prada Marfa has no representation of Texas and Southwest North America. Prada Marfa is a relic of a Bourgeois not so distant past; serving today's hyper reality of a blank canvas."
Lisa Morton, a reporter for the Van Horn Advocate, found a separate pamphlet version of the manifesto (pictured above) and also took a video of the scene.
Rita Weigart, a native of Valentine, noticed the vandalism around 8:15 AM on Sunday when she was on her way to El Paso. It rained around 4:00 AM that morning and Weigart noticed puddles of blue paint on the scene. She speculates the incident took place before the rain but after Saturday night.
She took pictures and posting them to Facebook, "where they became viral" said Weigart. At 1:00 PM, Weigart began to clean up the mess and said that tourists from across the country stopped by to help.
On Monday, (March 10) Marfa Public Radio's James Kim spoke with Boyd Elder about the vandalism. Click below to hear that full conversation.

How To Cook A California Roast
A California roast is a beef roast that is cooked using a dry-heat cooking method such as roasting, baking, or grilling. The beef is first seared at a high temperature to develop a crust, then cooked slowly at a lower temperature to allow the inside to reach a safe temperature.
The most important part of cooking a California roast is ensuring that the beef is cooked to a safe internal temperature. A beef roast should be cooked to at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that it is safe to eat.
There are many different ways to cook a California roast. The most popular methods are roasting and baking.
To roast a California roast, first preheat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, season the beef roast with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat, and then cook the roast in the skillet until it is browned all over. Transfer the roast to a roasting pan, and then roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, and then roast the roast for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
To bake a California roast, first preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, season the beef roast with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over high heat, and then cook the roast in the skillet until it is browned all over. Transfer the roast to a baking dish, and then bake in the oven for 1-2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
The cooking time for a California roast will vary depending on the size and thickness of the roast. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure that the roast is cooked to a safe internal temperature.

A California roast is a beef roast that is typically cooked using the indirect heat method. The roast is first seared on all sides over high heat, then moved to a lower heat to cook through. The time it takes to cook a California roast will vary depending on the size of the roast, but typically it will take between 2 and 3 hours.
A California pork roast is a pork roast that is cooked in a California-style sauce. The sauce is made with vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes, and it is used to flavor the pork roast and keep it moist. The pork roast is typically cooked in a slow cooker, and it can be cooked on the low or high setting.
A 3 lb roast will take about two hours to cook. The cooking time will depend on the type of roast, the oven temperature, and the size of the roast. A 3 lb beef roast will cook more quickly than a 3 lb pork roast. A roast that is cooked at a higher temperature will cook more quickly than a roast that is cooked at a lower temperature.

How long does it take to cook a roast in the oven at 350 degrees?
This will depend on the size of the roast, but typically it will take about an hour and a half for a three-pound roast. Larger roasts will take a bit longer, and smaller roasts will take less time. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the roast is cooked through to the proper temperature.
What is a California roast?
A California roast is a roast that is cut from the top sirloin of the cow. It is a thick cut of meat that is well marbled and has a lot of flavor. This roast is best cooked slowly over low heat to allow the meat to become tender and juicy.
When is a California roast best served?
A California roast is best served when it is cooked medium rare. It can also be served rare or well done, but it will be less juicy and tender when cooked more than medium rare.
How should a California roast be cooked?
A California roast should be cooked slowly over low heat to prevent it from becoming dry. It can be cooked in the oven, on the grill, or in a slow cooker.
Texas souvlaki pigs are a unique variation of the traditional Greek dish. The pork is skewered and grilled, and then served with a flavorful sauce made from tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
The first step in cooking Texas souvlaki pigs is to skewer the pork chops on skewers. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them.

Next, grill the pork chops over medium-high heat until they are cooked through.
While the pork chops are grilling, prepare the tomato sauce. Simply combine tomatoes, onions, and garlic in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the tomatoes are soft.
Once the pork chops are cooked through, remove them from the skewers and serve them with the tomato sauce.
This will depend on the method of cooking you choose. If you roast the pork in the oven, it will take between 45 and 60 minutes. If you cook it on the stovetop, it will take between 30 and 45 minutes.

I've been trying to get to the Phillips after 5 for years now, but the timing has never worked. However, I vowed in my New Years resolutions to be better at trying some of the fun free (and/or discount) activities that Washington has to offer, so this seemed like a good first stop. The current exhibition is by Per Kirkeby – a Danish artist with a keen interest in geology that is reflected throughout his paintings.
I co-opted a good friend, who spent time in Copenhagen completing her Masters in Design from the Corcoran, to come with me. She and I rolled in to the gallery around 5:30 last Thursday, and it was already packed! I had no idea it was that popular. As a side note, you should check out her fabulous fabric collection. I'm particularly partial to this one that will be coming to a chair my living room in the near future.
We toured the gallery first, participated in the Lego challenge that was being run by the staff (see my creation below), and then headed to the cocktail party.
All-in-all I had a great time. If you are interested in attending in the future, here are all the things that you need to know about attending Phillips After 5.
1. Tickets should be purchased in advance. Tickets were $12, and available for purchase online. Apparently, the event often sells out, so definitely buy tickets in advance. Plus, it makes it easier to check in when you get there.
2. Drinks are not included. This was a bummer since I'd just shelled out 12 bucks to get into the place BUT since I am now a benevolent supporter of the arts, I got over it. Drink tickets were $5 for wine and beer. You could also get soft drinks for $2.50, but where's the fun in that?
3. Dudes go. I was thinking that the ratio of women to men would be closer to 95:5, but I was totally wrong. For you single ladies, there were pretty good odds there. In fact, I ran into an old friend from high school who as there with a bunch of co-workers (all male), and apparently they go all the time. Very promising.
4. Good people watching. It was quite an eclectic conglomeration of people. Lots of first dates as well. I must admit those were pretty amusing to watch, especially the really weird matches. There was definitely a mom fix-up or two floating around.
5. Oh yeah, and there's art. In addition to the exhibition, which I must admit was more lively and colorful than I was expecting, the Phillips has a lovely collection of modern art. The price of entry gets you into the general collection, so you are free to tour the other works they have. On Phillips after 5 days, they also have additional lectures and gallery talks, and even the occasional beer tasting!
Ride home: Free (thanks to my fabulous aforementioned designer friend).

N° 64–2004: ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori to fly to the ISS on Italian Soyuz mission ENEIDE
Roberto Vittori will be the next ESA astronaut to fly to the International Space Station, on the 10-day Italian Soyuz mission, scheduled to be launched on 15 April next year from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The mission is called ENEIDE and takes its name from the epic tale written by the Latin poet Virgil in the 1st century BC. This story tells of the journey of Aeneas from Troy to Italy and the foundation of Rome.
N° 64-2004 – Paris, 10 December 2004 Vittori is a member of ESA's European Astronaut Corps and also an active Italian Air Force pilot. He is scheduled to take off on flight 10S to the ISS as flight engineer on board the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft alongside the Soyuz Commander and Roskosmos cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev and NASA astronaut John Phillips. The main objectives of the mission are: for the ESA astronaut to perform a full experimental programme of major scientific interest and valuable international cooperation on board the ISS; to exchange the station lifeboat, Soyuz TMA-5, for Soyuz TMA-6; and to exchange the current ISS Expedition 10 crew (Leroy Chiao and Salizhan Sharipov) for the ISS Expedition 11 crew (Krikalev and Phillips).
As flight engineer on both the ascent phase and the return journey, Vittori will take an active role in piloting and docking the spacecraft. Seven European astronauts have flown to and worked on the ISS so far though this is the first time that a European astronaut will be on his second mission to the ISS. From 25 April to 5 May 2002 Vittori took part in the Marco Polo mission. This will also be the first time that four of the five ISS partners, the ESA Member States known as the "European Partner", Russia, the United States and Canada, have taken part in a Soyuz mission to the ISS, since the backup astronaut for Roberto Vittori is Robert Thirsk from the Canadian Space Agency (Canada is an ESA Cooperating State).
The Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft will remain docked with the ISS for six months to act as an emergency return vehicle for the ISS Expedition 11 crew. For Vittori's return journey in Soyuz TMA-5, he will be accompanied by the current ISS crew, Leroy Chiao, Expedition 10 Commander, and Salizhan Sharipov, Expedition 10 Flight Engineer. Soyuz TMA-5 is the spacecraft which carried the Expedition 10 crew to the ISS in October. Sergei Krikalev will take over from Leroy Chiao as ISS Commander and John Phillips from Salizhan Sharipov as ISS Flight Engineer.
ENEIDE, an ESA mission, is co-sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Defence and the Lazio Region, with the support of Finmeccanica, FILAS and the Rome Chamber of Commerce (CCIAA). Many of the experiments are being developed by Italian researchers and built by Italian industry and research institutions.
"I am pleased to see this mission taking shape with such a great degree of international involvement", said Daniel Sacotte, ESA's Director of Human Spaceflight, Microgravity and Exploration Programmes, "ENEIDE, as with all human spaceflight missions, will benefit many areas of life and further expand the experience of the European Astronaut Corps. This will help us on the road to further human exploration of our solar system".

Finding Strength in A Community: Interview with AFTS Artist
Posted by Madison Worden · August 14, 2020
"I've met a lot of great people at Art from the Streets - I think these people are some of the strongest I've ever met."
- Crystal Mayes, AFTS Legacy Artist
CRYSTAL'S ART BACKGROUND.
She's been involved with art since she was a child taking Commercial Art classes while living in Chicago. Her ambition was to go into advertising, but as she says, "life got in the way" with marriage, the birth of her child and her husband's work as a minister.
HISTORY AT ART FROM THE STREETS.
Crystal has been coming to AFTS Open Studio for more than 5 years and tries to attend once a week "so that I feel like I'm doing something - life's not just passing me by. I have something to look forward to."
"Life can draw you away from your real talent, and AFTS helped me rediscover an old talent. [AFTS] gave me the opportunity to rekindle that talent."
"[Art is] also good therapy, it gives me peace of mind. It is an opportunity for you to work on something - to work with your hands - to distract you from whatever problems you're having."
CRYSTAL'S INSPIRATION.
Crystal favors landscapes, and will often include a cottage in the middle or background [of her paintings]. "I like to paint houses because one of my goals is to have a house of my own with a garden in the back."
Nature is her favorite subject, with electronic and classical music, science fiction, parks, people, and her surrounding environment all contributing to her creative process. Van Gogh and Pascal, along with fellow AFTS artists Jefferson Bright, Hugh Miles and Howard Cook are also great sources of inspiration for her work.
CREATING A COMMUNITY.
AFTS also allows her to enjoy time with her fellow artist friends. "I get to see how they're doing because we don't always visit each other - so we sit [and] visit during Open Studio."
She says her fellow artists aren't only a source of inspiration, but strength as well.
"There's something about these particular artists to me, compared to other homeless people that I've met. They have this strong connection to [who they are] and what they want to do with their life."
BEYOND ART FROM THE STREETS.
Crystal has been working on a Psychology degree from Huston-Tillotson University for several years as a part-time student. Crystal is now considered one of Art From The Streets' - Legacy Artists - meaning she has graduated from the program and transitioned off the streets. Currently Crystal is living in housing and is considered to be self sufficient - the dream AFTS has for all of their artists.
AFTS is sad we will not be seeing Crystal's smiling face in Open Studio every week, however, we are thrilled to hear of her success and graduation from the program. We wish her nothing but the best in her next chapter!
Community Art. Thank you for visiting the Art From The Streets blog, an Austin based nonprofit that provides artistic endeavors in which the positive spirit and creativity for those experiencing homelessness are nurtured through their own therapeutic art-making. If you are looking to further discuss our program, please contact us today for more information.


I've been wanting to set up my own blog for the longest time now. I'm an avid reader of blogs, life style blogs in particular and none more so than my best friends blog chatterbox.ie without who's help setting up my own one might never have happened.
So, what are my intentions with my blog? I have a keen interest in fashion and makeup. I set out upon proving you can be any size and still look and feel amazing. I love clothes and I dress to suit my curvy figure while also staying true to myself. I have many style inspirations but still have my own style without conforming to anyone else but myself. That said, I'm on a mission to loose weight and to get fit and healthy. I started my journey last year and still have long road ahead of me and everyday brings me closer to my goal, it may be a never ending road but I plan on staying here and sharing many different stops with you on the way ;) . I live a very interesting life and there is never a dull moment. I'm very excited to be blogging and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I'm going to enjoy writing it.
I am currently preparing my March monthly favourites which includes everything from my favourite song to my favourite beauty products of the month. Check back tomorrow to see what I have loved during last month.
Congratulations & well done. Wish you the best in this exciting adventure!


Motorola has revealed a new version of its popular budget smartphone, the Moto G. The device has been introduced as the New Moto G 4G with LTE and we like what we see. Now owned by Lenovo, the firm has a range of Moto G smartphones all with a similar name, but this one is really special and you'll see why we are saying that.
First of all, we want to tell you more bout its availability and pricing. The device that we are talking about is available straight away via its web store. You can buy it now for £159 which is only £10 more than the 3G model, so it is totally worth of such an investment, not to mention that you can also find in the U.K. in several other stores such as Amazon, Argos, Tesco, Carphone Warehouse, Sainsbury's, as well as Asda.
This interesting Moto G LTE repels splashes thanks to its special nanocoating that was applied by P2i, not to mention that we receive larger battery of no less than 2390 mAh), but don't worry about customization. The handset still can be customized with interchangeable rear covers called Motorola Shells that we all love.
The handset also features a 5-inch LCD screen with a maximum 720 x 1280 resolution, so we are talking about a 294ppi pixel density, while the power comes from a quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 CPU coming with Adreno 305 GPU crunches the graphics and 1GB of RAM. Are you disappointed about those 16GB of native storage? The 32GB capacity microSD slot will help you with this problem. As for the OS, the device comes with Android 5.0 right out of the box, allowing you to enjoy a version that everyone wants.
The 8MP rear camera features an aperture of f/2.0 and comes accompanied by a secondary the front-facing camera weighs in at 2MP. As for its dimensions, here we have 142 x 71 x 11 mm and a total weight of no more than 155 g.


The Ultimate Fighting Championship, more fondly known as UFC, is celebrating its 20th year. Time flies when you're pummeling people! Though the rules have evolved since the first season's "there are no rules" rule, the shocking primal carnage of the events remains intact. The majority of viewers watch fights through an extensive pay-per-view network, and Friday night is UFC night on FX, but there are also a select few live fights, at large arenas in large cities. The UFC is currently abroad, but starting April 13th, they'll be at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, before heading to the HP Pavilion in San Jose, CA, then flying east on April 27th for fights at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.
This year has been almost been too successful, and UFC President Dana White recently cut sixteen fighters from the roster, saying that was "the tip of the iceberg" and that an additional hundred fighters would be let go. In a cruel, 2013-esque twist of fate, some of the fighters learned they'd been fired via Twitter. Bummer. As with many other sports (ahem, baseball, football..) there's something downright patriotic about settling back on the couch, drink in hand, and watching UFC, if for the neck and back tattoos alone.


Everything's coming up roses this winter in New York City. In November, the New Museum installed a 28-foot stainless steel and aluminum bloom by Isa Genzken on the building's second floor ledge. Rose II will be on display until November 13, 2011.

The Upper East Side is also receiving a dose of flower power, courtesy of artist Will Ryman, Paul Kasmin Gallery, New York City's Department of Parks & Recreation and the Fund for the Park Avenue Sculpture Committee. Thirty-eight rose blossoms—some as tall as 25 feet—and 20 oversized petals will be installed on Park Avenue between 57th and 67th streets. The flowers, made of industrial materials like yacht-grade fiberglass resin, automotive paint and stainless steel, will be on view from January 25 to May 31.

We have already shared a lot on both Instagram and Facebook about our new design collaboration with the Berlin-based accessory label MIJUNE. It is now time to tell you a little bit more about the two talented ladies Rebekka Dornhege Reyes (stage and costume designer) and Nina Thielen (style and design trend researcher) and of course, how it all started!
I met Rebekka a few years ago in my studio via our common friend Daniel. On that day, we had a lot of fun developing for Daniel the first prototype for a male jumpsuit shirt. This product became in the meantime a great success and it is now known as Danvary (check the link if you want to know more about it ). Rebekka quickly won my heart with her positive and energetic attitude. Over the years we kept crossing paths in Berlin and we got to know each other better and better once our two daughters were born. In the meantime, Rebekka founded the accessory label MIJUNE as well as the creative agency VON JUNE together with her soulmate friend Nina Thielen. VON JUNE is today the umbrella under which the two of them combine styling, stage and costume design. Over the time, I also got to know and love Nina. She is nowadays also one of the top stylists of Zalon and some of you might even know her from the Zalon TV spot.
The two are a great team and have a genuine every day happy-go-lucky attitude. I invited the duo to work together on my new project, the crossbody iPhone case collection. Working together was so much fun and we had many inspiring and creative sessions in my studio, when we developed the first prototypes. The design combines the styling know-how of Rebekka and Nina and my years of experience in designing iPhone cases as well as leather accessories for the tech scene.
The final result is a collection of cross-body iPhone cases in 6 different styles, using several colours and materials. The different types also reflect the different identities of our labels. Therefore we have a series in pure leather, and a sporty series named "Sailphone", and "Sailphone knotted" which combine both leather and sail ropes. The production of the iPhone cases is entirely done in the Lapàporter studio and so I am very happy that the three of us keep on spending more inspiring hours together.
The Crossbody iPhone Cases made of leather are already available in our own online shop and the Sailphones can be purchased from the MIJUNE online shop.
One more time, many thanks to the lovely duo for the great collaboration!

About this blog: I am a native of Alameda County, grew up in Pleasanton and currently live in the house I grew up in that is more than 100 years old. I spent 39 years in the daily newspaper business and wrote a column for more than 25 years in addition to writing editorials for more than 15 years. I have served as a director of many non-profits in the Valley and the broader Bay Area and currently serve as chair of Teen Esteem and on the advisory board of Shepherd?s Gate. I also served as founding chair of Heart for Africa and have travelled to Africa seven times to serve on mission trips. My wife, Betty Gail, has taught at Amador Valley High (from where we both graduated) since 1981. She and I both graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, as did both of my parents and my three siblings. Given that Cal tradition, our daughter went south to the University of Southern California and graduated with a degree in international relations. Since graduation, she has taken three mission trips and will be serving in the Philippines for nine months starting in September. (Hide)

Haggerty's decision creates rare open seat on county board
Uploaded: Jun 18, 2019
Come January 2021, the Livermore Valley will have a new representative on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.
Supervisor Scott Haggerty, who has represented Livermore Valley cities since winning election in 1996, announced that he will not stand for a seventh term next year. When he was elected the First District included all of the Livermore Valley plus Fremont. Due to growth in the valley, Pleasanton was split off into Supervisor Nate Miley's district after the 2010 census.
Haggerty's seniority has helped on regional boards, particularly the Metropolitan Transportation Commission that doles out state and federal transit funds. There are times I have appreciated Haggerty's persistence and creativity such as the new parking garage on the Dublin side of the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station.
When the hopeless BART board rejected a $20 million state grant to build the garage that Assemblywoman Catharine Baker arranged, she partnered with Haggerty to move ahead with the garage on county-owned land with the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority being the government agency of record.
He's also playing a key role in the Valley Link project to connect San Joaquin County cities by rail with the terminal Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. It also will link with ACE trains. This came after the BART board rejected the long-planned extension to Isabel Avenue in Livermore.
He's also credited with landing $23 million for the Bankhead Theater in Livermore. That came from a settlement fund from the Altamont and Vasco landfills after a citizen sued to prevent their expansion. It was designed for open space acquisition—a questionable use. What it should have gone for were improvements to Interstate 580 that carries the 18-wheelers hauling trash to the dumps. The trucks that travel I-580 to Greenville or Vasco roads have minimal impact on Livermore, particularly those bound on Greenville for the Altamont Landfill.
Haggerty and his staff have been strong advocates for improving county services to the valley, particularly health care. With the significant social needs along the I-880 corridor, it was easy for county leaders to focus there without realizing that there are people that need help here in the valley.
What will be interesting is to see is who steps up to run for the seat. Haggerty never faced a challenger in his five re-election campaigns and the last time I can recall a sitting supervisor losing was when the late Don Excell defeated Valerie Raymond more than 40 years ago.
Seats rarely open up. Keith Carson has served since 1993; Nate Miley since 2000 and Wilma Chan since 2011 after an earlier six-year stint and six years in the state Assembly. With no term limits and an annual salary of $167,000 plus plenty of per diem payments for attending regional boards and other meetings, it's a sweet gig for a politician. Chan is hardly alone in running for supervisor after being termed out in Sacramento—it's happened all over the state.
State Sen. Bob Wieckowski of Fremont had announced he would seek Congressman Eric Swalwell's seat if he does not seek re-election during his presidential campaign. When Haggerty announced his decision Wieckowski shuttered his congressional campaign and announced he will run for supervisor.
Although Haggerty was living in Fremont when he was elected, he moved to the valley and has lived here throughout his terms. That local connection served the valley well because he knew the issues.

Let us say that in your daily activities, you burn approximately 2000 calories. Now assume that you eat 2000 calories in a day. Lets take the case, now, where you reduce your eating to 1500 calories. This means that your body will burn the extra needed 500 calories from the fat on your body.
It is easy to compute that 500 calories used in a day is 3500 calories used, from fat, in a week. So what does this mean? It means a pound of fat lost per week. Take this to a monthly calculation and the weight loss is four pounds. On a yearly basis, you have a total loss of 52 pounds from body fat.
When you put on weight, it often is the case that it happens slowly. So if you accomplish weight loss slowly, that would be alright too. Yes? Take it easy with this. Just let this be a gradual, steady process.
Well you do have to expend some effort to accomplish Good Diet Plan To Lose Weight Fast u0s and how to lose weight fast , but it is not the huge task you might have thought it was. Study these words and discover that a little knowledge makes the weight loss process achievable.
you are not eating while you are sleeping. So you are fasting. You are no longer fasting, you are eating again. This is what we want. Digesting food requires metabolism which in turn burns those calories.
If you will put some of your heart into this topic, it will give you success in return. Study this for a little while. Any way you look at Good Diet Plan To Lose Weight Fast u0s and how to lose weight fast , here are some underlying principles. You are busy during the day. That means you are burning calories. Calories, calories, calories, are in all the foods that you consume. If it happens that you are using more calories than you have eaten on a particular day, then the additional calories you are burning are usually coming stored fat in your body.
Do you think that this will be hard to learn? You can do this. It is not tough and not complicated. If the average person is having a light work day then they might be burning about 2000 calories, but if they are having a busier day then they might be burning 2500 calories. Most folks will be consuming a diet that has at least 2000 calories and up to 2500 calories in a day. This is the case of balance. A person is eating the same amount of calories as he or she is burning. Their weight does not change in this case.
This is pretty easy stuff here. Stay with this discussion. Take the case where you eat 2000 calories in one day. The simple equation here is to use more calories through your activities, than you consume. If you keep your burning of calories at 2000, then reduce your intake below 2000. That's all there is to this. Know the numbers, and subtract. You can do this. This is easy as pie.
Carefully look at the information on the label of the foods that you buy. The information on calorie content is there on the label. You have to admit, this is easy and you can achieve Good Diet Plan To Lose Weight Fast u0s and how to lose weight fast . This is the formula for Good Diet Plan To Lose Weight Fast u0s and how to lose weight fast . If you choose foods with low calorie content, you will lose weight. This is the single most critical part of weight loss. Know the calories going in and know the calories being used. You really must deal with this. Take the time to do this.

May 5, 2015 – Los Angeles, CA – U.S. build-your-own pizza chain Blaze Fast-Fire'd Pizza has signed a franchise agreement with Five Star Blaze Holdings to develop Blaze Pizza restaurants in Canada.
The deal includes plans to open a minimum of 60 franchise units in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The fast-casual pizza chain, known for its chef-driven recipes and casually hip restaurants, is targeting Toronto, Edmonton and Calgary for the first restaurants, the company said in a news release.
Five Star Blaze Holdings, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cypress Five Star and is led by Robert Baxter, Blair Walker and Darven Erickson. Cypress Five Star, LLC is the largest franchisee in the Five Guys Burgers & Fries chain with 41 franchise restaurants in Canada and, through an affiliate, two additional franchise restaurants in Wyoming.
With the planned opening of its 70th U.S. location this quarter, Blaze Pizza will be operating in 17 states, including the major metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and Washington, D.C. The brand is opening on average one new restaurant every five days – with its milestone 100th location projected to open later this year.
Blaze Pizza is looking to partner with other qualified, multi-unit franchise candidates to develop the brand in additional international markets. Ideal candidates will have proven multi-unit restaurant experience, strong financial capacity, and a deep knowledge of their local market, the company said.

Earth, Wind & Fire Becomes First Black Group to Be Inducted into the Kennedy Center Honors
By Monica Otayza
https://news.amomama.com/185304-earth-wind-fire-becomes-first-black-grou.html
This year, the 42nd Kennedy Center Honors was given to Earth, Wind & Fire, making them the first black group to be inducted.
Earth, Wind & Fire is composed of Philip Bailey, Ralph Johnson, Verdine White, and their late founder and visionary Maurice White.
While their founder was no longer around to celebrate with them, his presence was definitely felt that night, especially as their iconic tunes played.

PRE-GAME RITUALS THROUGH THE YEARS
After almost five decades of performing together, members of the group still get together to practice before every show.
Although they must memorize their songs by now, Verdine White says it's important for them to get together and practice.
"You can never not work on your craft. You're always working on it every day, you know, particularly the level we want to stay at."
HANDPICKED FOR A REASON
When the first group of members of the Earth, Wind & Fire didn't work out, Maurice and Verdine White went on to ask Ralph Johnson and Philip Bailey to join them.
It turns out, they all knew Maurice handpicked them for a very reason, and that was to deliver a message.
"He wanted to deliver a message of hope and love and respect and raise the consciousness of the people. So, each one of us was hand-picked for that mission."
A MESSAGE OF HOPE, LOVE, AND RESPECT
Indeed, their songs were messages of hope, love, and respect. Until today, songs that were recorded four decades ago continue to be relevant, and that says something about how iconic they are as a group.
One of their hit songs, "September," continues to be played at parties, and it's considered a classic song that spans multiple genres.
When their songs play, most people in the room are expected to get up and dance, celebrating love and respect amongst strangers.
ANOTHER ACCOLADE TO REMEMBER THEM BY
Now that they're being recognized by the Kennedy Center Honors, it marks yet another milestone that the group has accomplished since getting together almost five decades ago.

President's Faculty Lecture Series: What to let go: Making hard choices in the age of extinction, Mar 26
Dr. Arne Mooers is Professor of Biodiversity in SFU's Department of Biology. Educated at McGill and at Oxford, with stints at UBC and the University of Amsterdam, Dr. Mooers has held fellowships at both Yale University and the Berlin Institute for Advanced Study, and is the past Chair of the Biodiversity Committee of the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution. He has focussed his recent work on how evolutionary theory might aid conservation biology, with an emphasis on the Tree of Life. He also has an interest in public outreach and the proper use of evidence in policy making.
What to let go: Making hard choices in the age of extinction
Although we might not like to admit it, we may soon have to choose which bits of biodiversity we are willing to live without, and which bits we are willing to pay to keep around. Science should be able to help. One idea that is gaining currency is to do as Noah is said to have done with his ark, and preserve as wide a variety of biodiversity as possible. If so, we can use the Tree of Life to help make our choices. I will explain this philosophy and how its goals might be achieved practically, and introduce you to some of the whacky animals that are top candidates for extra attention.
When: Thu, 26 Mar 2015
Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, Burnaby
6450 Deer Lake Avenue

Training for a marathon is a lot like planning a wedding. You go through countless hours and months of preparation for ONE DAY. There is so much anticipation, excitement and nerves leading up to it and then before you know it… it's over! But it doesn't matter how much time went into it or how short the day felt because it is all worth it in the end. The memories and the feelings from that day will always stay with you.
It might be hard to put into words exactly how I felt before, during and after my race, but I am going to do my best! After trying and failing to qualify for the Boston Marathon at Grandma's Marathon this past June, I was determined to learn from my mistakes – what went well and what I could have done better. I soon realized the list of "what I could have done better" was longer than the list of what went well and about a month later, I signed up for the California International Marathon. It would be my redemption marathon. The marathon where I would build off my previous training cycle and improve on the areas I knew I could have done better. The marathon where I would get my BQ.
I committed my training and my race to God, knowing that He put this deep desire in me for a reason and that HE would receive all the glory.
I continued working with a running coach, knowing that her accountability, knowledge and expertise would take me to the next level. I did every workout and hit every pace she asked for… whether that meant running at 5AM, 10PM or 2 hours on a treadmill when our air quality was unsafe due to the Napa Wildfires. No excuses.
I started working with a nutrition coach to get me out of the cycle I was in of under and overeating, and to overcome the stress eating/binging habits that I developed. With her help, I became consistent in my diet, and strategically worked towards losing a total of 8 pounds, my ideal racing weight.
I did research on what a strength training program should look like for endurance athletes, divided my training into phases, and wrote my own workouts to complete. I started with higher weights/lower reps, transitioned into plyometric and HIIT training, and eventually to low weights/high reps functional workouts, each phase complimenting my running plan and weekly mileage.
I took time to stretch, roll and work on hip mobility to prevent injuries.
I read articles, books and listened to podcasts on nutrition for runners, race strategy, shoes, interviews from professionals… you name it, I read it.
I found inspiration in other male and female athletes and watched them achieve their wildest dreams.
And just like that, after 18 weeks of physical and mental training, race weekend had arrived. Mo and I drove to Sacramento Saturday morning, straight to the Expo. California International Marathon is known as a fast course, due to its overall decrease in elevation. But those downhills can trash your legs just as much as uphill! My coach made sure to incorporate hills into my training so I would be prepared. Here is the course map – elevation is shown in the bottom right corner.
We stopped to listen at the stage, where they were interviewing six of the top athletes who would be running the course. When opened it up to the audience to ask questions, I took advantage of this opportunity and asked what had led to a "breakthrough race" in their career. Sara Hall (a professional track athlete who would end up WINNING the marathon the next day, running a 2:27) answered first by saying, "You can't fear failure and when failure does happen, you have to get back on your feet and try again… I find my identity in God and that has allowed me to truly have fun and enjoy running." Janet Bawcom (an Olympic track athlete) answered next and said, "Consistency with training and support from family and friends is what has led me to some of my best performances." GREAT advice!
I then had the incredible privilege of meeting Sara Hall, Amanda Cruise (my first running coach, who would end up qualifying for the Olympic trials the next day with a PR of 2:44), Bethany Davis (online strength and running coach), and Elyse (a Instagram friend who I was dying to meet in person)!
As if my day hadn't been made already, we then arrived at Mo's aunt's house, where we would be staying that night. She had invited 16 family members over for a delicious pasta dinner and to wish me good luck in the race. Nothing beats a home cooked meal and a nice warm bed the night before a marathon! I felt so much love and support- both from people I was physically with and also from friends and family wishing me good luck from afar.
I made sure to have everything ready that night so I didn't forget anything in the morning! I also had to make a last minute pace chart screensaver for my phone after finding out they didn't have pace bracelets at the expo. Then, knowing it was all in God's hands, I went to bed.
I woke up to my 4:30AM alarm, wide awake and made a glorious first cup of coffee after two weeks without it. I had my usual pre-long run breakfast of oatmeal, a banana and almond butter, and started sipping on coconut water, which I would take with me to the start line. It was a damp morning, with temperatures expected to rise to the mid-50's. I knew I would be chilly in shorts and a tank top at the start, but would warm up as I got going. After talking to my running coach the night before, we decided that I would run my own race and not worry about staying with a pacer (something that had possibly worked against me at Grandma's Marathon). My goal was to run a negative split – the second half faster than the first.
These all felt surprisingly great, despite the rollers (rolling hills). It's amazing how SLOW you feel when you first start – adrenaline, nerves, whatever it is. I made sure to make conscious effort to not go out too fast so I could conserve energy for the end. I saw Mo for the first time at Mile 3 – YAY!
I got into a steady pace, and started enjoying the scenery, listening to my playlist, and settled into a seemingly comfortable 8:06/mile pace. I had heard someone say the day before that the first 6 miles were rollers, but we're past mile 6… so why are there still hills??! Every time I approached another hill, I thought to myself, "THIS is what your 5AM heavy squat sessions were for! Get up that hill and then you get to go down it!" I saw the 3:32 pace group pass me, but reminded myself to stay steady, run my own race and keep my average pace of 8:06. Keep my shoulders and breathing relaxed. Mo caught me again at Mile 6 AND 10! Already three times on the course!
"OH SHOOT! My phone battery is already down to 38%??" Right as I was entering these "middle miles" I happened to pull a Gu out that a friend had sent me as part of a good luck package. This friend has gone through A LOT the past few months, so I decided for the next 30 minutes (until I took another Gu) I would conserve my phone battery, turn off my music, dedicate those miles to her and pray for her.
I knew people believed in me. I knew people were praying for me. I knew my training had prepared me for this. I visualized ringing the Boston Qualifying bell. I thought about the people tracking me and could actually feel their support every time I ran over a check point. I knew that if I could qualify for Boston, it would open doors for me to coach other aspiring runners. I promised myself my FIRST Lululemon purchase if I hit my time. I also had to pee and refused to stop on the course so ya know, that's a whole level of motivation in itself! Mo caught me AGAIN at Mile 17 AND 21! FIVE times! He was heading to the finish line. Next time I see Mo, I'll be sprinting in!
NO INJURIES. A 15 MINUTE PR. BOSTON BOUND.
I went straight to that bell and rang it loud and proud.
Whole Foods was handing out Boston Cream cupcakes for qualifiers, which I gladly accepted and gave to Mo as a thank you. I couldn't believe he caught me SIX times on a point to point course… that's incredible! He had to stay in front of me, while navigating road closures in a city he's never been in before.
I truly could not have achieved this goal without God giving me the passion to work towards it, the physical ability to train and the strength to make it across the finish line… injury free. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone cheering for me, praying for me and supporting me. That was a huge source of motivation. WE DID IT.
All I can say is DREAM BIG. Then make a plan and don't stop until you get there. When I started doubting myself or focusing on the pain, I thought back to the miles I logged, the early morning strength workouts, and the drenched-in-sweat treadmill sprints. I had trained for this and I had it in me. All I had to do was believe I could. If you guys believed in me, I could too.
So. What's next?! I'm planning on sleeping in on Saturdays, doing some fun runs (starting with the San Francisco Hot Chocolate 5K with Mo in January), a couple half marathons and/or triathlons to work on cross training. Then you better believe I'm going for another PR at Boston 2019!
What an amazing story! I felt like it was happening to me. Great job to you and to Mo…it's more complicated than it sounds…seeing someone 6x on the course. You guys rock. So proud of you and all that you have accomplished and will accomplish together!
It is! I don't know how he does it! THANK YOU!!
Thank you!! You're right – Boston is another point to point so he definitely has some training to do… luckily he's got some time!
Awww, I loved this race report! Congrats on your BQ! It sounds like you ran a great race. The weather really was perfect. 😊 your fiance sounds like quite a guy.
Thank you! Couldn't have asked for a better race or better weather. He's so great! He needs to write a blog on how he does such a good job of cheering me on!
