There was a day (not that long ago) when kettlebells were reserved for Hulked-out bros and go-hard-or-go-home CrossFitters.
Fortunately, that day is over, and women are cozying up to kettlebell training in a big way. "Whether your goal is to gain strength, gain muscle mass, or increase your aerobic capacity, kettlebells can help," Anna Swisher, Ph.D., director of education and performance at Eleiko, tells SELF. "You can do a killer workout in your living room, garage, or outside with nothing more than a handful of kettlebells and 30 minutes of your time."
Case in point: In one small American Council on Exercise–sponsored study of 10 people, people performing the kettlebell snatch burned more than 400 calories in just 20 minutes. Another study of 40 people, published in The Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health found that when sedentary workers completed 20-minute kettlebell workouts two to three times per week for eight weeks, they cut their lower-back pain by 57 percent and their neck and shoulder pain by 46 percent.
After all, thanks to the kettlebell's less-than-stable design, exercising with one fires up multiple muscle groups at once—especially those of the core, which we use for balance—helping to teach your body to move as one functional, rock-hard unit.
"Kettlebells add variation and allow you to work different movement patterns than is typical with barbells and dumbbells," Swisher says. "Mixing up workouts with kettlebells can make workouts more fun, keep you motivated and engaged, and well-rounded."
Unfortunately, for all of the benefits and popularity of kettlebell training, there isn't a whole lot of good information out there for women on how to approach kettlebells in a safe and effective way. The result: Women are squatting their kettlebell swings, tweaking their backs, and forgoing a lot of their potential fitness gains.
Here, two awesome female experts share the most common mistakes women make when training with kettlebells—plus, how to adjust your training for the results you want.
1. Going too light
"Women typically select kettlebells that are too light and underestimate their own strength," Swisher says. "For an exercise such as a kettlebell swing or goblet squat, women should make use of their strong legs and not be afraid to use a heavier weight." Going too light not only shortchanges your results but can even encourage poor form, which more often than not ends in overuse injuries, says Karen Smith, a master kettlebell instructor with StrongFirst, a Nevada-based trainer certification program. "If you're using too light of weight in a kettlebell swing, for example, it's easy to squat and use your arms to lift the bell, rather than power the move with your hips," she tells SELF. "And when you aren't using your muscles in the proper way, that's when you get hurt."
Train right: "When you're just getting started, select a weight that you can do for several sets of five to 15 repetitions with good form," Swisher says. "If you can't do at least five repetitions of an exercise with perfect technique, use a lighter weight. Generally, if you can do 20 reps and not break a sweat, select a heavier kettlebell." Another great cue: When you're performing kettlebell swings, the weight should end straight in front of your shoulders with the bottom of the bell pointing directly away from your body. If the bottom of the bell is swinging so much that it ends pointed diagonally up toward the ceiling, you need to go heavier.
2. Swinging through the back
The kettlebell swing is a hip exercise, not a back exercise—so stop treating it that way. "A dangerous mistake I often see is people trying to swing the kettlebell too low, resulting in a bottom position where their chest it totally parallels to the floor. The lower the chest gets—the hips move back and the chest goes down—the more force is placed on the low back," Swisher says. "Another way the kettlebell swing can cause excessive load on the spine if you do not keep a neutral spine throughout the entire range of motion." She notes it's far too common to see people hunching the upper back in the bottom position and arching their lower back at the top of the swing.
Train right: "It's important to always hold a neutral spine, brace through the torso, and to control the path of the kettlebell," she says. "As kettlebells get heavier and heavier, they want to pull you forward and down. The kettlebell should pass through your legs at about knee height when done properly." To make that happen, keep your core tight—like you're about to get hit in the gut—throughout the entire exercise and don't send your butt back behind you until the kettlebell lowers close to your body. Think: tight and controlled, always.
3. Bending over to unrack and rack the bell
Similarly, when women pick up and put down (in exercise speak: unrack and rack, respectively), a lot fall prey to the thinking, "This isn't actually part of my workout." But it so is. Picking up bells and carrying them across the gym floor is an exercise in itself, and if you just hunch over and sling them up, you can overly stress the spine and surrounding muscles.
Train right: "For any load, the best way to pick it up is to keep it directly in line with your body's center of mass, which usually means keeping it in line with the feet," Swisher says. "For any overhead or upper-body exercise, it's a good idea to squat down and pick up the kettlebell between your feet and raise it as close to your body as possible. Lower it the same way.
For an exercise like a kettlebell swing, place the bell a foot or two in front of you and from a squat stance with a tight midsection and shoulder blades pulled back, bend down to grasp the handle and swing it back between the legs to begin the first rep. Place the kettlebell back on the ground in the same position after finishing the last rep or simply stand up holding the kettlebell at your waist and lower down in a squat to the floor."
4. Performing too many reps with not enough rest
High-intensity intervals are great, but when it comes to kettlebells, pushing yourself to the edge has one huge downside: When muscle fatigue builds up form breaks. It's no fault of the exerciser. It's just how physiology works, Swisher says. So, if you're trying to perform balls-to-the-wall intervals or AMRAPs (as many reps as possible) with kettlebell swings, chances are that after enough reps you will start to make the above technique mistakes—no matter how excellent your form was on rep number one.
Train right: If you're vying for strength gains, go ahead and give yourself a full two minutes of rest between sets, Smith says. If you're more interested in conditioning and burning calories, and therefore, continually moving without rest, it's important to stop your sets as soon as you feel your power levels dip—before the bad form has a chance to really set in. "It's important to listen to your body," she says.
5. Wearing cushy running shoes
Save your running shoes for running. "Pushing into a mushy surface greatly reduces the force transfer; therefore, cushioned, squishy shoes or those with air in the soles are not ideal for performing exercises such as squats, swings, and other moves that require pushing forcefully through the foot," Swisher says. Meanwhile, the higher your foot is from the floor when kettlebell training, the greater your chances of rolling an ankle.
Train right: "For whole-body movements done from a standing position, footwear should have a solid, firm sole," she says. "Weightlifting shoes typically have a solid heel, which provides a stable base to allow for very efficient transfer of force. If you don't want to spring for lifting shoes, pick a low-profile running shoe with a totally solid sole and not a ton of cushioning."
6. Jumping right into fast, complex moves
"Too often people go on YouTube and see kettlebell exercises that look fun or crazy and they start with them. That's when injuries happen," Smith says. "Even the windmill. A lot of women want to start with it because it looks pretty and beginner-friendly. But it's actually a level-two exercise—not something to start with."
Train right: One of the best starting places for kettlebell newbs is the two-arm kettlebell deadlift. "Master the hip hinge before you perform it at high speeds with the two-handed kettlebell swing," she says, noting that it's also important to practice single-arm KB deadlifts before attempting one-handed swings. From there, you can slowly build to take on other more complicated hip-driven movements such as cleans, snatches, and get-ups.

There is already an age poll at this forum!
Here it is, allthough this one is more specific, I don't see the need of another age-poll.
Oh, o. k. then someone may close this one. Could you give me the exact link, please?
EDIT: Well, thinking it over, I would prefer if you could leave this poll like it is and vote once more, since this poll matches with the other polls on other forums that I have created and the other one doesn't really, since it chose broader frames for the ages - full decades rather than half decades.
So, if you could vote once again in this poll, I would be grateful. Thank you.
Wow, this is cool - whoever created a forum of its own just for me - THANK YOU!!
Years have been changed, so that now, the dates should fit for everyone, with no double covered life spans.
I think prog is the best thing I discovered last two years (except for girls).
Just because you had trouble with it?
Nah, probably you are right. I was just joking.
"I think prog is the best thing I discovered last two years (except for my girlfriend)."
Or is it vice versa Rolling Stones style? "She's under my thumb".
Or the Manowar-thing: "She's waiting for my command. ... Woman be my slave!"

Spreading Planter Propaganda
May 21, 2017 News	10 Comments
I am sorry I am only now getting back to Kamal Persad's response to my article, "Getting It Right" (March 26). I noted: "While Indians were treated in a horrible, inhumane manner…, there is no doubt the Indians were brought to Trinidad to undercut the progress that Africans were making at the economic front."
I argued further that the sole rationale for sending Indians to the Caribbean and Mauritius in 1836 was, as John Gladstone, stated: "It is of great importance to us to endeavor to provide a portion of other laborers, whom we might use as a set-off, and, when the time for it [emancipation] comes, make us, as far as possible, independent of our negro population" (John Scoble, Hill Coolies, 1840).
Persad claims "I got it wrong" (Express, March 27).
This is the essence of his refutation to my position: "Emancipation in Trinidad had a devastating economic impact on 'low density' colonies when the free blacks withdrew their labor from the sugar plantations or were unreliable. Plantations were abandoned or were overgrown with bush or were in an unkempt state. Donald Woods…recorded 'Lord Harris reported that the whole colony was in a miserable state. May 1848 was the blackest month. By then the colony coffers were empty" (Express, March 27).
Persad does not challenge my major contention. Instead, he quotes a secondary source (Donald Woods), who quotes Lord Harris who arrived in the island in 1846, and whose quoted views reflected the economy of 1848. Almost invariably, serious scholars consult primary sources.
First: the productivity of black labor at the end of emancipation. The Trinidad Standard reported that the sugar crop of 1839 was larger than the crop of 1838, the year apprenticeship ended. It noted that the 1839 crop will be "clear surplus revenues as compared with the preceding year" (Anti-Slavery Reporter, February 12, 1840).
Sir Lionel Smith, governor of Jamaica (1836-39) made another observation. He said: "What was wanting was not more labour, but better treatment of the laborers. People who offer fair wages and punctually pay them, who rent cottages at a just price and for a secure tenancy, can get as many laborers as they want. And if there are persons who cannot, it is because their dreadful habits of oppression disqualify them to secure the confidence and industry of free laborers" (Anti-Slavery Reporter, February 12, 1840).
Second: with regard to the withdrawal of black labor from the plantations and their purported "unreliability." On July 29, 1840, Mr. Prescod, a colored gentleman, wrote "The Alleged Deficiency of Labor" published in the Anti-Slavery Reporter:
"I admit at once that since Emancipation, some of the Negroes formally engaged in field labor have withdrawn themselves to other occupations. But I deny that, in any one of the colonies, this has been in the proportion, or anything like it, which the planter advocates have people believe.
"Mr. Burnley of Trinidad [the biggest resident slave owner in the Caribbean], in his letter to Lord John Russell [Secretary of State] which was copied into the Reporter on 22nd April [1840], writes eloquently about a middle class of shopkeepers and traders which has sprung up from the wreck of slavery to supply the wants of the emancipated slaves, no longer dependent on the supplies of their masters; and he infers from this, as a thing of course, that a diminution of labor equivalent to the number of persons composing the middle class, has taken place.
"In theory perhaps, this may all be fine; but did the experienced Mr. Burnley not happen to know, that the former free people, possessing to some extent that capital which the emancipated generally wanted, were the more likely persons to step in and compose this middle class, and that, in the very fact, they do compose it."
Prescod continues: "Some of the emancipated Negroes have become shopkeepers and traders; the plantation tradesmen, who were also occasionally employed in agriculture, have almost to a man taken entire to their trades; some have purchased or leased small allotments of land; and settled down independently: several mothers of families (principally in Jamaica) have retired from the fields to the duties of home and the young children instead of picking grass or tending cattle, all now in great numbers at school."
Neither Woods nor William Green who Persad quotes can help us on these matters. One has to go to original sources—which I have done—to understand the lies the planters were spreading about black people and which Persad, without the necessary information, continues to disseminate.
I end with Prescod's words to give Persad a sense of the tenacity of human beings who set out to build a new life after slavery: "First, sir, is it not reasonable to suppose—does it not accord with all we know of human nature and the laws that govern it, that the free man, working for a fair hire, will work more cheerfully and efficiently—will do more work, than the hated slave, who is driven to work for nothing?"
Wasn't this the point Adam Smith and Eric Williams made in their path-breaking works?

Seems like the moderators are censoring my blogs. My views are not insulting nor are they disrespectful. WHY? WHY? WHY???????
Yoruba Israelite says:
Kian,
I have been absent for some time. On my recent return to the blog, I find my posts do not get through…
Either something is wrong, or something has changed. I wonder what.
Welcome back Yoruba, I am glad to see you back because we were going into a lull here and the appetite for knowledge was not happening. There appears to be a new group of editors who seem to be scrutinizing and to some degree censoring. I myself have lost quite a few blogs that I felt were important to share with the group.
Anyway, dont let that hold you back, there is a lot happening my brother, we need inform each other.
Seems like this vision is still very much with us today. The British a first class psychologists who have used every means at their disposal to survive, even when they were outnumbered the devised ways and means of maintaining their "minority" status while injecting the poison of racism to keep their privileged role of "the plantation owners". In a country in which they are citizens for more than 150 years, the Indians remain suspect as to the loyalty of nation building. Relatively speaking, no effort was spared to accommodate the Indians on terms that were more favorable to them than the Africans ever could have imagined. The African had no say in his departure from Africa nor did he have any say in his arrival in the new world. He did not have any say in the composition of his familial life at the same time he had no say interns of where he would settle, buiLd a home and plan progress. The Independence that we celebrate today from 1962, was one negotiated in which the Indians demanded conditions upon which it should be granted to us ……an yet??
They are still not happy. The famous and constantly reminded comment of Dr. Eric Williams that Indians love to quote "Indians are a recalcitrant minority" was not made in a vacuum as many like to remind us. If it were, then any reasonable person should condemn it. It was made at a time when we were negotiating our separation from the British and Indians were afraid of not having their guarantors (the British) not present to ensure the terms of their 'arrivals" (the contracts they signed for their indentureship. Dr. Capildeo was both indignant and persistent that conditional safeguards be put in place to ensure the place of the Indians during Independence. We should never forget the threats offered by the current Leader of the Opposition …"THERE WILL BLOOD IN THE STREETS" (if they did not have their way). Is it any wonder that we are still worrying about the loyalty of the Indian?
We like to paint pretty pictures of ourselves as "all ah we is one", "Trini ah paradise", "Trini is god's country", "god is ah Trini", "Trinidad is a melting pot" etc etc etc we are the home of cote see cote la. In the past there were honest efforts between Africans and Indian to make Trinidad and Tobago a place for all. Many Indians have fought alongside their African brothers to make the conditions in which we live better. And we should recognized that. But in times of challenge, the Indian political directorate always steps in to ensure that the divide with which the British brought them to enforce remains.
It is no surprise today, that many citizens (both Indians and Africans) want to pay their fair share of taxes, confident that government recognizes their ownership of real estate and proud of being citizens of this land be honored as tax paying citizens. The Opposition? Well lets say, they have something else in
mind. The war cry of Frederick Douglas ring in their ears constantly, 'agitate agitate agitate'. The Yoruba stadium is finally opened and the greatest cricketer in the world invites his friend from India to celebrate and be part of our heritage. But a person of no lesser stature that that of former Governor of the Central Bank steps in to ensure that such celebration occurs.
We are witnessing the disruption of travel between Trinidad and Tobago with no explainable reason why it is happening. There were countless fires in the offices of WASA after they lost the last election. Massive amount of money was spent to align politically with the Tobago entity. Chrislyn Moore, Jack, Watson and many more were agents of the opposition to keep Tobago within the boundaries of the Opposition, but they failed to carry Tobago. Hilton Sandy was so afraid of the overt courting of these individuals that the coined the words "Calcutta Ship" to refer to this effort. Of course the comment is constantly coined in negative and racially charged terms to indict Mr. Sandy but no one will admit that he used it to describe the overt intention of the political directorate to change their way of life in Tobago.
Kian:
Thank you for the welcome back. And thank you for being the good soldier that you are, remaining on guard, and holding fast to duty.
…"THERE WILL BLOOD IN THE STREETS" (if they did not have their way). Is it any wonder that we are still worrying about the loyalty of the Indian?
My assessment, in the light of the Indian Policy, is that they are working that seditious plan, the first item of which is to "make the country ungovernable". Why? They have no good reason. They merely wish to hold the reins of Government, and to "make the niggas (sic) … slaves" (item #3 of the same Indian Policy).
That is a seditious document under applicable statute. And to the extent they're working a plan to "make blood flow" in the streets, they're subject to arrest and to be jailed without bail. They should consider that.
Actually, I just heard someone say on radio that there is concrete evidence of SABOTAGE, involving 1) Brian Lara Stadium, and 2) the inter-island ferries.
WHO is guilty may perhaps best be answered by answering the question who has motive … and plainly stated intent.
It is no longer a question of questionable loyalty, it is a question of actionable sedition, actionable insurrection. Both are against the law. Perhaps we need to remind the PM that he is sworn to uphold the law, among others without FEAR.
May the Most High expose those guilty of SABOTAGE in this country, that they may be brought to justice. And may He protect the innocent whatever be the nefarious INTENT and ACTION of the disloyal sectarian minority in our midst.
P.S. Let us see if this passes our new censors!
Yoruba, we welcome you back with open arms and it remains my hope that Alysssa will do the same. I am becoming weary of the PNM. Not for the same reason that the media fervently expresses. In any civilized society the culprits who terrorize our society would be caught and brought to justice. Just take for example the following:
1. The burning and destroying of papers in the EFCL.
2. The many fires in the offices of WASA.
3. The unfinished works of the Pos largest contractor
– SIS.
4. The bankruptcy of the highway contractor – OAS.
5. The sudden fiasco with the Galicia.
6. The sudden 'problems' with the Spirit and Express.
7. The stuffed clothes in the sewer line to clog up
the Toruba sewer system.
8. The unbalanced finances of every department of State
when the PP govt left office
9. The untruths told about the 'Children's Hospital'
(a) Was it a gift of the Chinese or a loan from
them?
(b) Where is the plan not just to put up a building
but to staff and service it?
10. What really went on in Chaguaramas vis a vis leasing
of lands and awarding contracts?
11. What happened to prison gate?
12. Are there going to be any investigation of the
judiciary?
These are just about a very few of the many questionable acts of disproportionate behavior that the PP Opposition has to answer. We are tired of AlWari telling us that they are looking into it. We are tired of Rowley seemingly legal patience with these dastardly acts that may be attributed to the "BLOOD IN THE STREETS" and "making this country ungovernable" comments. These comments are more dangerous and likely to cause harm than the "Calcutta ship" and "recalcitrant minority" regurgitation that is thrown in our faces every day.
Anand Ramlogan's favorite Court house in the San Fernando magistracy. Does anybody wonder about that? He almost never take his cases to Port Of Spain. Does anyone wonder about that? There are names associated with questionable rulings. There are names like Judith Jones, Mira Amorer, Mendonca, Seepasad, Kokopram, Boodoosingh, Jamadar and others whose decisions sometimes hit us like a ton of bricks. We need judges and magistrates whose judgements hinges on both the letter and spirit of the law. When those tests appear to have been bypassed in favor of something that suits political agendas, then we have to worry about our pillars of democracy. We are not all lawyers and people of the cloth, but we know and understand when something is immoral and when judgements appear to not meet basic standards of good law keeping.
We feel that Rowley and AlWari are allowing way too much to go by unattended. Why don't we a a permanent Police Commissioner? We have heard the excuses but we NEED to have a permanent Police Commissioner in place. We need an Integrity Commission that is staffed with people of integrity. Words have meanings and actions should meet the standard of the words they represent. We are impatient with the patience of Dr. Rowley and AlWari to continue to allow our country to fall apart because those who did not enjoy being sent back in government don't give a damn about our progress. I am sure that there are many like me who feel that way.
I am not sure that our friend Yoruba on his "self- adulation" return got his facts correct.
This is how history recorded it!
recalcitrant
1. resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant; refractory.
2. hard to deal with, manage, or operate.

Did Dr. Eric Williams brand all Indians "a hostile and recalcitrant minority"? And, why did he make such a statement?
Excerpt from Dr. Winston Mahabir
"When the PNM lost the Federal Election in 1958, Eric Williams looked no futher than the Indians for a scapegoat. In a most unfortunate speech he branded them as 'a hostile and recalcitrant minority.'
"My wife and I arrived late at Woodford Square on the evening of that speech, while he was in the middle of his diatribe. I got an unusually subdued round of applause as I reached the platform to hear Eric Williams reveal something to the effect that he was not speaking about Indians like myself.
"It emerged that there were good Indians like myself and bad Indians like those who voted against the PNM. The speech and the experience were traumatic events in my life. I made my reactions abundantly clear to him that very evening. From that night onwards I never realy felt comfortable with Eric Williams. I felt USED, COMPROMISED, DECIEVED." (Winston Mahabir, speech at University of California October 16, 1965).
While I will not challenge your meaning of the word 'recalcitrant' I wish to produce a dictionary meaning
that differs with yours:
"recalcitrant |rəˈkalsətrənt|
having an obstinately uncooperative attitude toward authority or discipline: a class of recalcitrant fifteen-year-olds.
a person with an obstinately uncooperative attitude.
recalcitrance |rəˈkalsətrəns| noun.
recalcitrantly adverb
mid 19th century: from Latin recalcitrant- 'kicking out with the heels,' from the verb recalcitrare, based on calx, calc- 'heel.'"
Dr. Winston Mahabir broke with the PNM and made racial charges that some may agree with and others don't. I am in no position to challenge him because that is his version of it. But mine and many who were attuned to its use are of the view that, it was directed to the DLP (UNC) led by Dr. Capildeo, who were not supportive of the fight for independence. Dr. Williams wanted a united front to negotiate with the British at Marlborough House, but
Dr. Capildeo will have none of it.
When he finally assented, he extracted special conditions from Dr. Williams that sought to protect the Indians. Dr. Williams found that to be unacceptable but relented. This, according to most, was the time when Dr. Williams stressed on the comment. It was not a comment used in a vacuum, but addressed to the DLP(UNC) party in particular.
I would be out of place to argue with Dr. Mahabir, because it is his account (his-story). But many familiar with the topic do not see that way. Anyway, since it is conflicting history it would be nice if those familiar with the history, would lend their understanding of it.
Yes, Kian, all that is fine.
Butttt…. as Alyssa was wont to say … his game is to take you off the scent. Recalcitrance is no longer the issue.
See my reply to him…
I said nothing about "recalcitrant". That question has been well litigated, and judgment rendered.
The "East Indian" in T&T is indeed a recalcitrant minority. This is a simple matter of fact well admitted by the East Indian himself. They looked at the Jamaican model where the East Indian, whether by choice or otherwise, went the route of assimilation. East Indian leaders in T&T rejected that option.
Hence they opted for recalcitrance — refusing to stay in societal solution as part of the creole calalloo. That is a matter of simple, unfortunate FACT.
What Williams meant subjectively by his statement of FACT is another matter. Certainly he and the PNM proffered what in S. Africa Mandela called a "non-racial democracy", where "ev'ry creed and race finds an equal place". Nothing in PNM governance over the years gave the East Indian any call to claim oppression or victimhood. And there are no educational, health, income, employment or other statistics that would belie that claim. What we do know is that Williams was echoing words used by Nehru, who had his own Hindutva RSS recalcitrants in India to deal with, as he set about trying to create a secular, democratic India. Fat chance in brahminist India. Today Nehru's recalcitrants are in charge under BJP government.
In any case, the East Indian in these parts has since traversed a trail that makes the matter quotidian.
From clearly stated ANIMUS (FEM Hosein, Vidia Naipaul, Maha Sabha), they moved to RECALCITRANCE. From recalcitrance they have since moved to SEDITION; see the Indian Policy document; see Panday's call to make the country ungovernable (Item #1 of Indian Policy), since escalated by Mrs. Persad-Bissessar to "make BLOOD flow". From sedition they have moved to INSURRECTION, as evidenced by SABOTAGE.
This is the quotidian trail: ANIMUS -> RECALCITRANCE -> SEDITION -> INSURRECTION/SABOTAGE.
I for one am heartily sick of it. I for one refuse to continue to bend over any longer, whether forwards or backwards.
Like Kian, I too am increasingly disgusted with Dr. Rowley and his team. He was elected because the people thought he had the requisite BRAINS and BACKBONE to deal with the problem. At the moment I am seeing neither. Some wajang! Some Rottweiler!
It is as though he does not appreciate the full gravity of the situation he, and the country, are in. Instead of going on the offensive, and crushing this incipient INSURRECTION, he is letting them set the agenda with minor and utter nonsense like cellphone roaming charges and alleged Ministerial over-spending. In the larger chess game, the invitation to sacrifice that Ministerial pawn does not have to be entertained, even for a second!
He is right to say "gimme a break", but he needs to go from being on the defensive over relatively small matters, and go resolutely on the offensive over a security threat to the state and to his very rule: SEDITION and INSURRECTION/SABOTAGE!
Btw, Item #2 of the Indian Policy explains the game plan under which they can put Rowley on the back-foot: "Our people must undermined (sic) this nigga (sic) government and work assiduously in collecting and disseminating information to our personnels (sic)". The very Government has been made to leak like a sieve!
They are not only sabotaging the likes of Brian Lara Stadium and the inter-island ferries (endangering lives thereby, actually), they are sabotaging the very Government itself. They have spies all over.
Dr. Rowley needs to wake up. He will find the option of raising sheep in Tobago might actually soon not be available to him. And neither to his children. See Item #3 of the Indian Policy: "make the niggas (sic) your slaves".
So, the question is not about what Williams said about the recalcitrant minority. And I refuse to be side-tracked into that hoary history.
The question facing the nation, today, is that that recalcitrant minority has morphed into a seditious insurrection, actively wreaking SABOTAGE, and putting the very nation-state at risk.
The idea of a non-racial democracy can only work if all segments of the society agree to operate under the rule of LAW. Otherwise, those who sabotage the very social contract upon which their tranquility and security depend, will find, as it was with the W.I. Federation, the strange arithmetic to apply where one from many will leave nought!
Word to the wise!
May the Most High wake up our leaders who seem to be asleep at the wheel, that they may fully appreciate the gravity of our situation. And give them the brains and backbone to deal with it as the Law and Constitution require they must, and to which they and we are committed, –still for the time being,– pursuant to the Supreme Law, that of the Holy Covenant, under which we must uphold our oaths and sacred honour… until the enemy relieves us of that obligation by repeated breaches.
For the time being, I say
PS. But there comes a time when enough is enough!


The first incision to prepare Rachel for the arrival of her new heart was made at approximately 1:30 AM on May 6, 2015. Earlier in the day, part of the transplant team had already made their way to the site of the precious donor who would ultimately bring life to Rachel through their beating heart. It wasn't until the team had arrived there and actually gotten a good look at the heart that the final decision was made as to whether they would accept or decline this gift for Rachel. It was perfect! Surgery was a "Go"!!! The extaordinary redemption of what was broken had begun!
I honestly don't know what I did during those hours... I talked to Doug several times through out the night, before he boarded a plane to the capital city of India, and I tried to busy myself in updating my friends and family as they waited with me near and far. But mostly, I spent the night alone in what would be Rachel's hospital room for her entire recovery, and I waited for news. Everyone encouraged me to get some sleep while I had the chance, but I could not imagine sleeping while my little girl fought for life just a few floors below me. There would be time for sleep later. Instead, I laid down on my recliner bed and literally visualized myself laying in the lap of God. I am a lover of words, and I am rarely without any, but on that night, I couldn't find a single word to say to the Lord that hadn't already been said. Tears came instead. I knew God understood those better than words, and I found comfort lying there with Him and allowing my emotions to overflow in tears of joy and grief mingled together.
My heart literally agonized for a mother I didn't even know. I have prayed for her for over three years now... wondering who this unknown hero might be that would ultimately share life with my daughter. Tonight it didn't matter. I knew that wherever she was, she was hurting, and I was hurting with her. I wept because I knew that in those very hours her child would slip into eternity and leave a vacant place in her heart, while hope for more time with my child would be born in mine. I was overwhelmed with the unfathomable thoughts of God that I am certain I will never understand. Why her child? Why not mine? Why should I receive? Why should she lose? The gravity of such an exchange from one mother to another unleashed emotions from within me that I didn't know existed.
The anesthesiologist caring for Rachel in the operating room was kind and kept his promise to update me frequently throughout the night with news of how surgery was going. He was most gracious to let me know precisely when they expected Rachel's new heart to arrive at the hospital and I intended to be there when it did! So, at 4:30 AM, our weary crew gathered outside the emergency room entrance of the pediatric unit of Shands and huddled in blankets as we waited for the ambulance carrying our precious gift to arrive. I could not stand still, so I paced up and down the sidewalk, hardly breathing until the ambulance finally rounded the corner and made it's way toward me. An ordinary ambulance delivering HOPE for my daughter!
The transplant team and surgeon carrying the heart jumped out of the ambulance and hurried past us with great urgency. They seemed amused that we were waiting there, as if this were unusual, but they didn't stop us from following, so you can bet we DID! I remember saying something to the surgeon as he hurried by about "my daughter's new heart", but otherwise no one said a word! I was so fixated on the cooler rolling in front of me with the simple words "Human Organ for Transplant" and "HEART" stickered on it, that I'm not even certain I was breathing!
We followed the transplant team and that beloved cooler right through the Pediatric Emergency Room and as far down the hospital hallways as they would allow us to go before a door finally closed behind them and they disappeared into an elevator that would take them and this extaordinary gift of HOPE to the operating room where my daughter was waiting. No one spoke a single word. I just stood their in the hallway of the hospital at 4:45 AM and I sobbed. All of the uncontainable emotions within me collided and spilled out.
This extraordinatry gift, and the indescribable loss that it represented, ...delivered in an ordinary cooler. The sight of it and everything it represented literally knocked me to my knees!
I am struck at how God has always chosen the ordinary through which to perform the extraordinary. Maybe that's why we miss Him so often. Even God's saving HOPE in the gift of His Son was delivered to the world through the ordinary! Can't you see it? Extaordinary HOPE through the ordinary!
I saw Him again tonight when extraordinary HOPE arrived for my little girl in an ordinary cooler!
Your telling of Rachel's new heart has brought me to tears. In a good way. Faith. Hope. Love. Charity. I can easily see why this is such a spiritual journey. I'm sure that knowing her child's heart brought life to another child is brining comfort to this mom who has lost her child. It might be the very thing that helps her through her grief - one never knows, but I, too pray for her, that she is comforted.
Thank you so much for sharing this intimate moment in your life, the videos of your husband with Rachel and how you mustered your strength and surrendered to Him in your hours of need and found compassion for the mother who lost her child and also comfort.
I know the road after transplant is still long and hard. I'm continuing to pray for you and Rachel and your family and the donor's family.
So unfathomable...thank you so much for sharing this incredible journey with us..I wait with bated breath for pictures of Rachel and her new heart!!!

Doctor Strange – Spoiler Free Review
The Insightful Panda / November 6, 2016
Doctor Strange hit theaters this weekend and signifies the first standalone Marvel film of a new property since Captain America (2011). Seeing as Guardians of the Galaxy was a self-contained ensemble film and Ant-Man was in production since before Ironman (2008), I'm not including them with Ironman, Thor, and Captain America. Additionally, seeing as how Marvel Phase 3 is going to be filled with new films like this – Black Panther, Spider-Man Homecoming and Captain Marvel – this was our first change to see how far Marvel has come with it inaugural film debuts. So how did the film do?
In short: Visually speaking, Doctor Strange has no equals in the MCU at the moment. That being said, whereas it's solid story-wise, there's quite a few moments that could have used flushing out more and seem pressed for time – which you'll realize as ironic once you see the film.
Though I could never sum up a film like this so briefly. So allow me to give you a SPOILER FREE look at Doctor Strange and what worked, what didn't and what was just…. there.
A Visual Masterpiece – Fight Scenes, Magic & Multiverse:
We've seen massive Chitauri battles over Manhattan, hellicarriers crash into the Potomac, Nova Corps in combat and hordes of androids fight on a floating continent – and yet none of that compares to the visuals in Doctor Strange. The reality bending and mirror dimensions are so crisp, they make Inception look like they were shot on an iPhone. Though the visual don't end there and various magical spells, enhanced objects and dark dimensions all help push this film to the max in terms of scale and color.
I'll admit that going into the film I was afraid it was going to be one crazy blur of bright colors and flashing lights – like Michael Bay on LSD. I was thankfully proven very wrong as the effects are somehow grand and yet not once over the top. Each effect feels like it has purpose rather than being there purely for spectacle. That being said, I might advise against seeing it in 3D. With all the reality bending and magic battles, 3D might give you a headache if you have sensitive eyes.
Humor & Characters – A Surprising Highlight:
I can't really go into a lot of the humor of this film – because that would be spoilers – but I can tell you that the humor in this film is particularly enjoyable. Cumberbatch's delivery of Strange is as comedic as it is brilliant, but if you've seen him as Sherlock you already knew that. Strange likes to be the center of attention and his showboating and insulting humor is spot on. His interactions with Wong are particularly enjoyable; but it is actually Swinton's Ancient One who offers the best comedic relief. … Really.
As if Swinton's casting as The Ancient One wasn't surprising enough, he use of humor is possibly the biggest surprise. She chooses her words very carefully and not a single line of hers is wasted. The juxtaposition of the all-knowing Ancient One against the doubting and clueless Strange is quite enjoyable. There's even a veiled joke about the unorthodox casting. And I understand why Marvel did this surprise casting – to attract people and because the era in which these characters were originally developed caused them to be soaked in stereotypes. It doesn't make the choice perfect, but Swinton does do a great job in the role.
And while we're on the subject of stereotypes, the character of Wong is incredibly well crafted. He's not a sidekick and he's definitely not a manservant, but rather an extremely talented sorcerer who knows far more than he lets on. Wong (played by Benedict Wong) is one of the real highlights of this film and he owns every scene he's in – even when paired with Cumberbatch.
A Lack of Explanation – But Not Where You Think:
When we first saw Thor, "magic" was largely explained as science that we haven't yet figured out. This time around in Doctor Strange, that notion is completely out the window. As a man of science, Stephen strange obviously struggles with a lot of this but ultimately just learns to believe. As a film that introduces magic proper along with dimension bending and multiverse, this is a stance the audience has to take too as far as 'understanding magic' goes. Though it's actually pulled off perfectly. Not once do you feel "that magic didn't make sense to me" as you get so caught up in the ride and the small explanations they do give. As far as the wondrous world of magic and realities are concerned, this film explained just what it needed to and left the rest to our imagination. Sadly, the same can't be said for storylines and pacing.
This is not to say that the story has a lot missing from it, but there are definite moments where you will feel that something could have been elaborated on more. You will see motivations and can gather a guess as to why this character has them, but they are never fully explained. There is one particularly powerful moment between Strange and Mordo where Stephen expressing a sentiment that we have not seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet – and it's a TREMENDOUS moment – and yet it's just said and that's it. There's no explanation of why he feels that way or even why he truly became a doctor.
In the comics and animated movie, this was answered with backstory about his family and sister. Here it largely just seems like a man trying to prove himself for the sake of proving himself. Again, this doesn't take away from the film completely; but there will be times where you feel something could have been explained deeper or you missed some key backstory moment.
Similarly, the pacing and timeline is a little strange as the events of the film from Strange's perspective and those of the villains can't possibly match up. It's unclear if Strange's rise and fall happened THAT fast or if the villains literally sat on their hands for several months. I can believe in magic, multiverses and alternate realities. What I can't believe is that as huge and threatening an opening Kaecilius gets, it takes him almost 2/3rds of Strange's origin story to begin enacting his plans.
Post Credits & Easter Eggs:
As with any Marvel film, there's of course two post credits scenes (Mod Credits and Post Credits to be exact). Additionally throughout the film there are some very well hidden Easter Eggs; but of course as this is a Spoiler Free Review I won't go into those. Instead, I'll save those explanations for my upcoming Top 5 article. So stay tuned for my Closer Look and in the meantime, Go See Doctor Strange!

I am running HC on my non-rooted Nook Color off of the SD card. But for the life of me I am stumped when it comes to getting the Android Market to run from the card as well. I followed techinana's list of instructions for getting apks onto the removable SD, and I was successful at using ADB to do that. Some of the steps referred to things I did not see in my own setup; as long as I accomplished adb push I felt okay. But that's where I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to get the apks - Vending.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk to install on the Nook. I know they're on the card because I can view them on my Mac (running Windows XP via Parallels). Is there some magical step that I'm missing? Additional files I haven't pushed? I've even tried "adb install [filename.apk]" but I assume this must only work on rooted devices. Pointers gratefully received!
I guess my use of the term "install" was misleading. I did push the apks to the SD card. But after I rebooted the Nook, I don't see the Android Market or else I don't know where to look for it (I have a Nexus One so I'm not totally unfamiliar with Android). Since then I had seen the Nookdevs page you referenced and see that my adb commands were not done the same as what is given in their instructions.
Thanks for the helpful nudge. I went back to the instructions at the top of the Nook Forum and was able to complete the push (and 'install') of the apks. For some reason I thought that the instructions should have referenced my sd card. Everything is up and running fine.


If you are like the majority of individuals living and working in today's society, you probably spend a good portion of your day sitting. You go from sitting at the breakfast table, to your desk at work, then driving from point A to point Z and back again, followed by finishing your day relaxing in the recliner. Ironically, even though our lives tend to be fast-paced, we seem to spend a significant amount of our day sitting. So many of our patients at Hampton Physical Therapy arrive with complaints of pain that are often contributed to the effects of prolonged and frequent sitting.
One of the first questions posed to our patients is "What do you do for a living?" and the response often follows as such, "I spend the majority of my work day at a desk, on a computer," or "My commute is 45 minutes one way," or "Well, I'm retired now, and spend a lot of my day reading, and watching television." No matter your age, profession, or level of fitness, we cannot deny that most of us spend too much time sitting, and unfortunately, we are all subject to the adverse effects prolonged sitting can wreak on our bodies.
Although we attempt to be conscious of our posture, inevitably as time progresses and we become busier, we begin to fall into poor sitting posture. If someone were to snap a photograph of you after sitting for as little as ten minutes, most of us would demonstrate a slouched, curved spine, with a forward head and rounded shoulders. Looking something like the picture below showing both poor and good sitting posture.
So what does this mean for you and your body? Let us begin at the top and work our way down the spine. As your posture begins to decline, it places your shoulders in a rounded position and your head/neck forward. This, in turn, can cause tightness of the shoulder and neck muscles which can often lead to headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, and paresthesia (numbness or tingling) into your upper extremities. As you sit, your lumbar spine (low back) loses its normal curvature, placing your pelvis into a posterior pelvic tilt, and placing more pressure on your sacrum (tailbone), and the discs in between your vertebrae.
Research shows that after only 1-2 hours of sitting, lumbar (low back) stiffness increases, therefore placing you at a higher risk for low back injury and pain. Prolonged sitting can also increase your chances of developing problems such as: sciatica, numbness/tingling/pain that radiates into the leg, and hip pain…just to name a few!
So what can you do to prevent the adverse effects of prolonged and frequent sitting? Well, one of the best things is to limit how often and how long you sit. Obviously, you cannot change the fact that you must sit at work, or drive the kids to and from their sporting events, but you can try to monitor how long you are sitting. Set a timer on your watch or cell phone that reminds you to stand or walk around every 30-45 minutes. The act of standing can decrease the pressure placed on the spine and allow your spine to return to its proper alignment.
Simple stretches and exercises can also decrease the effects of sitting. For example, performing shoulders rolls (forward and backward), neck range of motion (looking up & down, left & right), and scapular retraction (pulling shoulder blades together) every 1-2 hours can increase blood flow, decrease stiffness and tightness of muscles and joints. For the low back and hips, you can stand and perform back bends (arching your spine backward), legs swings (kicking leg forward & back, then side-to-side 10x/leg), and a piriformis stretch (seen below, hold the stretch for 30 seconds, repeat 3x/leg).
Finally, proper sitting posture is critical. It is important to sit with head in a neutral position, looking straight ahead, shoulders down and back, support in curve of low back, thighs parallel to floor, and feet flat on the ground.
These are just a few simple recommendations, but if you feel your pain or symptoms need to be addressed by a healthcare provider, please feel free to call and speak to one of our physical therapists. We would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Hampton Physical Therapy has clinics in both Hampton & Seabrook, NH.

Thousands of people around the world are still even today victims of unjust practice that is exhausting labor and restricting their freedom / Photo by Getty Images
History shows how rampant slavery was decades ago, particularly in the United States. The African Americans were the usual targets mainly because they were deemed different and below the status of white-skinned people because of their skin color. The history of slavery actually spans a number of nationalities, cultures, and religions since ancient times. The social, legal, and economic positions of slaves, however, are different in many countries. Nonetheless, it mainly doesn't respect the basic human rights of an individual.
Just as we thought that slavery ended decades ago with the Confiscation Acts and Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 in the US, thousands of people around the world are still even today victims of this unjust practice that is exhausting labor and restricting their freedom. Modern slavery, as what we call it now, is rampant in many areas around the globe. In fact, there are tens of millions of people trapped in various forms of slavery, which only worsen their already bad status in society. The AntiSlavery.org reported that there are an estimated 40.3 million people suffering under modern slavery around the world today.
One of the reasons why slavery still exists until now is because it is a hidden crime. It is hard for the public to see and for the victims to call out for help. Researchers showed that modern slavery generates about $150 billion every year in illicit profits for traffickers. Most people are aware that it often happens in common places—homes, schools, and offices but it's not obvious to cause someone to report to the authorities. Thus, there's a greater need to discuss this and make people understand more.
What is Modern Slavery and How Does it Happen?
Compared to the 19th century where it was difficult to take people from their homeland and bring them to the US to perform various tasks for their "masters," slaves today are easier to get. A number of raw materials and food products nowadays are tainted by slavery—a fact that most people may not be aware of. Slaves make charcoal in Brazil that is being used all over the world. They also harvest cocoa in West Africa that ends up in our chocolate. There are many more cases.
Although there is an official document that says slavery ended in the 19th century, it's not simply the case. In truth, slavery has just changed its form and continues to harm people in many countries across the globe. You'll know if it's slavery in instances like treating people as a commodity, forcing people to work, restricting their freedom of movement, and a host of others. Before it was all about people owning other people but nowadays, it is more about being exploited and completely controlled by someone else.
According to the website Free the Slaves, there are several reasons why there has been a rise in modern slavery nowadays. First is the growing population around the world, especially in developing countries. These countries often have bigger populations but weaker economies that leave many people economically vulnerable. Because of this, they tend to acquire jobs that often enslave. If not, they transfer to wealthier cities in search of work, even if it means going to foreign countries.
Corruption by both the local and global governments is the reason behind modern slavery. This is because they allow the unlawful practice to go unpunished. There are even some countries that have no protection for victims from predatory traffickers.

There are many forms of modern slavery that we should take note of. These include forced labor, debt bondage, human trafficking, descent-based slavery, child slavery, and forced and early marriage, among others.
In the estimated 40 million enslaved people around the world, statistics have shown that 50% of them are into manual labor in forced labor slavery; 37.5% are trapped in forced marriages; 25% of them are children, and 12.5% are trapped in forced prostitution sex slavery. Unfortunately, the conversation about is still not enough to end it. According to the World Economic Forum, the Global Slavery Index reported that there are some countries that are going backward in tackling slavery.
Using Technology to End Modern Slavery
With the emergence of technology, a lot of societal issues that we have now are being addressed and this includes modern slavery. For instance, artificial intelligence (AI) is already helping to identify victims of trafficking in many ways, such as social enterprises like Marinus Analytics. Recently, researchers suggested that blockchain, the technology behind bitcoin, is the solution for modern slavery.
According to an article by The Conversation, almost two-thirds of the cobalt mined across the globe comes from the central African country of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) where the notorious history of human rights abuses, particularly slave labor, are well known. Since cobalt is very important in phones and laptops, there's a worldwide demand for it. However, it can't be determined that the cobalt supply came from a slave-free country.
There's no denying that DRC has cases of forced labor involving its people. The Washington-based organization Free the Slaves conducted an investigation in 2013, which showed that 866 of the 931 individuals interviewed in three mining communities were slaves. With blockchain technology, experts believe that it has the capability to create a verified and tamper-proof record of supply chains from source to end user. It will know where the supply came from.
However, the reality still exists that technology is not enough to address a complex social problem. Since this is a crucial time to end modern slavery, to continuously shine the issue in the spotlight is certainly a big help.

The family qualifies for voucher assistance as a non-purchasing household living in HOPE 1 (public housing home-ownership), HOPE 2 (multifamily housing home-ownership) developments, or other HUD-assisted multifamily home-ownership programs.
As an example of the above, a family of 5 that is already a Public Housing tenant and has income at or below $81,200, would be income eligible for the Section 8 program.
If the family is displaced as a result of the prepayment of a mortgage or voluntary termination of a mortgage insurance contract on eligible low-income housing, an even higher income limit applies. Contact HACA for more information.


As a part of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, congress passed into law two subparts of Part D of Title V (Promoting Informed Parental Choice and Innovative Programs) of that Act pertaining to mental health interventions as they relate to students. Those subparts are Subpart 2, Section 5241: Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Programs  and Subpart 14, Section 5541: Grants for the Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems  and Section 5542: Promotion of School Readiness through Early Childhood Emotional and Social Development.
Demonstration of great need (determined in part by student to counselor, student to social worker and student to school psychologist ratios).
Proposal of especially innovative or promising programs.
Demonstration of great possibility for replication and dissemination.
This section also requires that the counseling services for which funds are provided follow certain guidelines. Those guidelines include requirements such as assurances that funds will be spent on programs that will be comprehensive in their approach, serve the needs of all students, increase the availability of services, employ qualified professionals, involve families and communities, evaluate the outcomes of the programs and show an innovative approach to providing services. The section also requires that the office of the Secretary of Education must make a report evaluating the programs that receive funds under the section.
This section gives the Secretary of Education authority to award grants to and enter into contracts with a Local Education Agency, State Education Agency and Indian tribe to support programs that expand student access to mental health care through the creation of innovative links between schools and the community mental system. These grants are awarded based on an application process. The section limits these grants to a five year period and requires that the funds be used by LEAs, SEAs and Indian tribes to expand or improve care for students as well as to provide training for school based and community based professionals (both educators and mental health service providers), consultation and technical assistance for schools and agencies, coordination of services that will fit students' language and cultural background, and evaluation of the programs for which grant money is provided.
This section gives the Secretary of Education the authority to make Foundations for Learning Grants to LEAs and other local, community-based organizations (such as councils or non profits) whose mission is to assist students in preparation for school. These grants are application based and required to be directed toward programs that help students to develop emotionally, socially and behaviorally; programs that help to coordinate families working with community-based programs that provide such services; programs that provide other services that support such community-based programs such as transportation services; programs that evaluate the success of such programs, or to provide funding for students to participate in or be evaluated for eligibility for such programs. Other requirements for these grants include that programs must not also be receiving funds from other sources and that the office of the Secretary of Education must evaluate or contract for an outside evaluation for each program that receives a grant.
In an article about the connections between school mental health services and No Child Left Behind from November 2006, Brian P. Daly et al cited a National Institute of Mental Health study that found that between 5% and 9% of students face emotional and behavioral issues that impede their learning. Beyond this, a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention on the interaction between school policies and health for adolescents noted in 2008 that some twenty percent of students annually demonstrate evidence of experiencing a mental health issue. Additionally, the Department of Education, in its application materials for its program of Grants for the Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems, notes that the majority of mental, emotional and behavior disorders have their foundation in childhood or adolescence. They report that more than half of adults who have experienced a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder claim that it began during those early years and that by the age of sixteen nearly forty percent of children and young adults have experienced a psychiatric disorder. Furthermore, the Department of Education reports that mental health concerns overlap with and in many cases undergird other important themes in education today, such as bullying. In their Introduction, the Department of Education cites one study that showed that both perpetrators and victims of incidences of bullying were twice as likely to report symptoms of depression than other students.
In its report on the interaction of school policy and health issues for adolescents, the CDC notes that the state of mental health systems treatment in schools or coordinated by schools is much more extensive today than it once was. It notes that while in the past such services had been given to students in Special Education, one report by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found through surveys that virtually all schools surveyed had at least one professional on staff to provide mental health services and that upwards of eighty percent of the schools surveyed provided mental health and related behavioral and crisis intervention assessments. Additionally, the American Counseling Association (ACA) reports that while in 1998 the ratio of students to counselors in schools was 561 to 1, but that by 2008-9 that ratio had lessened to 457:1.

The warm weather makes me crave tart and sweet citrus desserts.
Key lime is one of those citrusy desserts and I needed some ASAP.
These are the BEST key lime bars I have ever eaten.
Cook's Illustrated tested both regular limes and key limes and the taste testers couldn't tell the difference, so for the sake of juicing 4 regular limes vs. 20 key limes, they opted to use regular limes in this recipe.
I, myself, opted for bottled key lime juice. I really love that stuff.
I like to pour myself a glass of it and drink it on hot days.
The crust is phenomenal. The brown sugar gives it a toasted nutty caramely flavor. I thought it would be too much, since it is almost as thick as the filling, but it was perfect. This crust would also be fabulous with a banana cream pie.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, press into corners and up the sides of the baking dish, leaving an overhang to easily remove bars when done. Spray with cooking spray. For the crust: Add animal crackers, brown sugar and a pinch of salt to a food processor. Process until you have fine crumbs. Drizzle in melted butter and pulse until crumbs are evenly moistened with butter. Press crumbs evenly and firmly into bottom of prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and fragrant, about 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the filling: Stir together softened cream cheese, a pinch of salt and grated lime zest. Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk. Add the lime juice and whisk until smooth and creamy. Last, whisk in the egg yolk. Pour mixture over warm baked crust and spread out evenly. Return to oven and bake until filling is set and barely beginning to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 17-20 minutes.
Let cool on wire rack to room temperature; about 1 1/2 hours. Cover with foil and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. Remove from pan using the foil overhang; cut into 16 squares and serve.
Jenn's Notes: I used bottled Nellie & Joe's Key Lime Juice (found at most grocery stores) instead of fresh lime juice. These bars are the best I have had and I wouldn't change a thing from what I did.
These sound amazing and I love that you used animal crackers for the crust! Why haven't I thought of that!?? I have everything in my pantry/fridge for these (right down to the Nellie & Joe's) - we'll be making these tomorrow! Thanks for sharing.
Let me know what you think if you end up trying them!
I will have to try these and I am still really wanting to make the yummy oreo cookie dessert you posted a while back. I know i would eat it all is the problem, have to wait for some company. I hate for my kids to eat a bunch of junk, I have no self control and I have a weird husband who doesn't really like sweets.
Both desserts are super yummy! You really can't go wrong with either!
Oh man I do love me some key lime!!! I have used fresh, but my gosh it's such a pane squeezing all those little limes! Thank you for using the bottle! The crust is fantastic!
My husband's birthday is this coming Thursday and he loves Key Lime pie and animal crackers so I MUST make this for his birthday. Thank you so much for this recipe. I think it will become a family favorite. I use the exact same key lime juice!!
I hope he likes it as much as I did! Happy Birthday to him!
Made these for my dad for Fathers Day and they were fantastic! It was the perfect tartness and the crust was my favorite part! Thank you for the recipe!
don't have limes on hand. No more trips to supermarket for 1 item.
If you can't find them, you could always use a graham cracker crust.
I love the animal craker crust. Thanks for sharing that.
gluten free cheerios work great for the crust as well.
