Do certain foods help boost your metabolism?
Metabolism refers to the chemical processes that happen in your body in order to maintain life. We generally refer to metabolism as the rate at which your body burns calories, and there are many different ways you can decrease or boost your metabolism. Many changes in metabolism happen as part of your body’s daily cycle – for instance when you sleep, metabolism decreases. Your environment can have an effect as well – as body temperature increases metabolism revs up. Rigorous exercise can boost your metabolism since your body needs to convert calories to energy in order to keep up with your activity. Fasting can actually decrease your metabolic rate, as your body begins to conserve energy, sometimes by up to 40%.
Some foods that you eat, as well as the time of day you eat them, can also have an effect on your metabolism. As a rule, if you wish to increase the rate at which your body burns calories, try to consume water with every meal as hydration helps stimulate the metabolic process, as does eating small portions frequently through the day. Metabolism decreases while you sleep so its best to avoid heavy meals and excess snacking prior to bedtime if you wish to maintain a high metabolic rate.
While drinking tea in general is a great way to increase your metabolism due to its high water content, green teas in particular can help increase metabolism. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that few cups of delicious green tea consumed throughout the day can significantly impact your metabolic rate, helping you burn calories more quickly while keeping you hydrated. The antioxidant properties of green tea do more than just boost your metabolism, they can also boost your immune system too.
Overall, green tea has many beneficial effects on your health, ranging from increased brain function, lowering your risk of heart disease, even killing bacterial infection in your gums. Combined with the benefits it has on helping you lose excess weight and keeping that weight off, there are plenty of reasons to included tea in your diet daily. It may seem hard at first, but substituting your regular daytime coffee with tea, especially green tea, can have long lasting implications on your overall health.
Chillies are well known for their spiciness and flavour, but their benefits stretch beyond their tastiness. Chillies contain capsaicin, which makes chill peppers thermogenic – a food which helps heat the body and increase metabolism, like stoking an inner “fire” that can burn more calories. Like green tea, chilies are also a great antioxidant and contain vitamins A and C. This means that chillies no only help increase your metabolism, but they can also help with cardiovascular health, boost your immune system, plus they taste great and provide meals with a delicious heat. If you’re wondering if hotter is better, it should be noted that spiciness doesn’t correlate directly to the increased presence of capsaicin, those looking for the extra boost should instead look to the colour of the chilli. The brighter the colour the more capsaicin it likely contains. There is a wide variety of chillies, so this is not a hard-fast rule, rather a general guide.
We’ve already covered why you should be eating oatmeal in a previous article, but it is worth mentioning again here. Beyond its direct health benefits it is also a food that can help increase your metabolism. Instead of increasing body heat like chillies, oatmeal is a slow-burning food which helps stimulate metabolism over a longer period of time – think of it like a heavy, solid log on a fire that will keep burning all night long as opposed to a few dry leaves that burn quickly and then go out. This means we can convert oatmeal into a powerful and long-lasting energy source which can give us the energy boost we need – try to avoid adding sugar and instead reach for a natural fruit like blueberries to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Full disclosure – this one is a little controversial because in and of itself Apple Cider Vinegar doesn’t boost your metabolism, but it does have an effect on calorie consumption and energy by regulating the acidity of the body. Like many processes in our body, metabolism is a complex system, one which can be affected negatively by high acidity in the body. This is where apple cider vinegar comes in. Apple cider vinegar is an alkaline, which helps to regulate the acid content in our bodies and keep our metabolic system balanced. We included it in here because an unregulated system will be less effective in metabolizing any of the foods on this list – thus we can say that ACV is a food which helps (though indirectly) to boost your metabolic system.
Its true that avocados are loaded with fat, but thankfully these are monounsaturated fats – the same great fats you can find in olive oil. While regulating these ‘good fats’ must still be considered when planning your diet, avocados have sometimes gotten a bad rep for their fattiness alone and many avoid what they have mistaken as simply a high-fat food, which means they are missing out on all the amazing nutrients and benefits of these delicious green fruits. Avocados are loaded with proteins, vitamins, and amino acids, all of which help to boost your metabolism while satiating the body. The real key to their metabolic influence though is in the aforementioned monounsaturated fats which activate the metabolic pathways, stimulating metabolism. Thus, adding just a little avocado to snacks will help you stimulating the digestion of other foods, fill you up with nutrients, and help you avoid overeating. What’s not to love about avocados?
While cinnamon is tasty and there are plenty of ways to add it to your diet, only a little is needed to have an effect on your metabolism. Cinnamon’s primary effect is on the blood glucose level, but it also helps stimulate metabolism and best yet, it’s effects can last through the day. Adding a little cinnamon (less than two teaspoons) to your oatmeal, at the beginning of your day, will help keep your digestion ticking away until the evening. Cinnamon also helps regulate insulin levels in the body, thus diabetes sufferers should consult their doctors before adding cinnamon to their diet.
We started this list talking about the benefits of tea and how it can boost your metabolism, and now we’re giving a shout-out to coffees effect on metabolism. Often thought of as a diuretic, coffee can stimulate metabolism. This is mostly through its caffeine content, and while it is certainly effective the downside is that overtime an immunity to these effects can increase. This is partially offset by coffee’s suppressive effect on your appetite, but metabolic rate often declines if we fail to intake food into our system on a regular basis causing the body to go into a sort of conservation mode. Thus the effects of coffee on metabolism have to be consciously regulated (thus appearing seventh on our list instead of first). Switching between coffee and tea throughout the week may help this effort – we’ll leave it to you.
While nuts make a great, healthy snack, almonds are by far the best nuts for helping to get a calorie boost and make your digestion work hard, boosting your metabolism in turn. These dense proteins are loaded with good fats but not a lot of sugar and a handful can provide you with all the energy you need when you’re looking for a quick boost. However, be careful when it comes to consuming nuts – a handful is good but too many will overload your body with calories, and if you’re looking to increase your metabolism and burn fat you don’t want to be stressing out your digestive system which will convert these foods into unused energy (fat deposits) instead.
Celery is a negative-calorie food, as in it takes more energy for the body to digest than it gives back. It is for this reason that celery is great for a boosting metabolism without adding any calories itself. Metabolic processes increase when the body is digesting, and for some time following (which is why several small meals a day keeps the metabolic rate higher than just two or three meals per day). With this in mind, celery is a great way of keeping the body’s metabolic processes working while simultaneously not taking in any large amount of calories. Celery is thus great for a snack, but always remember, if you’re looking for a boost of energy, perhaps before a trip to the gym, you’ll probably want to reach for something more substantial – maybe add some almond butter to your celery. If on the other hand, you’re just looking for a quick snack to satisfy a need to nibble, celery should be high up on that list.
While we started this list with our top choice for metabolic boosting foods and drinks, we will save the best (tasting) for last. Chocolate – dark, pure chocolate – actually has a few benefits going for it if you want to boost your metabolism and promote weight loss. Working on two fronts, consuming chocolate satiates the appetite making you feel full for longer after a meal, thus curbing snacking, and the caffeine and monounsaturated fats content in dark chocolate help boost the metabolism (like avocados and almonds), thus aiding in the burning of fats to fuel our body. As with anything on this list, moderation is the key. The metabolic boost is really only in the domain of the purer, dark chocolates – milk chocolate and certainly anything considered a ‘candy bar’ are so loaded down with added sugar and other fats they more than offset the health benefits of the “good stuff”, even going so far as to make us feel hungrier while our metabolism slows. Nonetheless, a small square of the purest chocolate following a meal may be the best dessert if you’re looking to get a boost of energy and satisfy your cravings.
There are many other foods that help to boost your metabolism but our list of ten above should get you going. Always remember that metabolism can also be increased with regular exercise, sleeping well, and staying hydrated throughout the day. No singular food or action will be enough alone, but with an overall shift in your diet towards foods that are beneficial and healthier than what we normally consume, the results can be dramatic. Consult your doctor before making any major shift or change to your daily routine as we should never be out to shock the body into change which can cause physical, mental, and emotional stress. Check out our other list of health foods for activity and diets and reaching your goals, and let us know in the comments below if we missed any foods you think should be included.
Eat well and take it one step at a time. Celebrate every ten steps and you’ll be motivated to climb your own mountain no matter the height. Enjoy!

In the morning your love life will feel like a fairytale in which you could break into song while you wait for prince charming or princess charming to come to your balcony.
How naive of you, Taurus, and it’s all Disney’s fault! You’ll soon find some bumps along the road.
In fact, your conyugal life will be no walk in the park; there will be clashes and friction, which will only snowball unless you let your guard down.
However, there’s always calm after the storm, and when you make up there will be sparks, and wrinkled bed sheets and a trail of clothes leading to the bedroom.
If you’re single your love life will be a bit more complicated. The dates you have won’t go as planned, and you’ll end up not knowing where you are or what you want.
At work you’ll be able to do great things which will positively impact your income, but you have to be more organised than usual.
Take the time you need to play your day, leaving time to rest or to take care of unexpected matters.
Focus on the main tasks for the day, three, tops, and don’t get sidetracked until you’ve completed them.
This is the only way you’ll achieve some success at work, and set a deadline to finish your current projects or those that are a bit in the air. Pursue excellence and make things happen.
We tend to leave starting new healthy habits, such as quitting smoking, signing up to a gym or starting a diet, for the first day of the month, or for Mondays.
Huge mistake! You can get rid of your unhealthy habits today, the last Friday of March.
The Magic Horoscope sees a lot of willpower in you, so make the most of it and take the first steps towards a healthier life.
If you decide to quit smoking, go cold turkey; cutting down doesn’t work.

Labour is a party that loves its traditions so it was no surprise that its conference in Brighton started off with the traditional singing of “Oh Jeremy Corbyn”. Labour Conference 2017 will be a celebration of humiliation deferred and future victory. There is no doubt the whole week will be one whose underlying message is that the party is closer to government than it has been since it lost the 2010 election.
They are right. And that is frightening because Labour is no longer a serious political party. There are a husk; Corbynistas merely dilettantes.
This week by the seaside, Labour will merely give Brexit the briefest of mentions. Banquo received a warmer welcome when he turned up for dinner at Macbeth’s.
On Sunday, the party announced the results of the ballot on contemporary motions. Of the thirteen topics put forward by constituency members, Brexit was rated as the fifth most important. Yet of the eight topics to be debated and voted upon, Brexit will be absent.
In his pre-conference interview, Corbyn promised to listen to the membership on the Single Market, then he denied them a vote.
Had a vote on the Single Market been brought to the floor, Corbyn would probably have lost. Labour members overwhelming favour staying in both the Customs Union and the Single Market. Therefore trade union leaders and Momentum worked to keep Brexit off the list of debates.
It is ridiculous to suggest this is anything other than a stitch-up by the leadership. Momentum stands in relation to Corbyn as Gollum to Sauron: its higher echelons are at the command of the precious. The fix demonstrates how the left’s belief in” party democracy” is merely convenient, and their past scorn for Blairite control hypocritical.
The Labour leader has shown his contempt for “party democracy” over Trident and he shows it now. Since the election, he has carefully - or perhaps carelessly - kept members guessing as to Labour’s ultimate Brexit destination. He has ruled out Single Market membership, then hinted that it might be on the cards after all. Poor Corbynistas enthusiastically retweet each pro-Single Market hint with what can only be described as endearing faith. The slackers are usually absent from social media when he becomes more critical.
It is rather prissy to complain about Corbyn’s political creative ambiguity. Previous Labour leaders have reacted tactically to Tory woes on Europe. John Smith and Gordon Brown destroyed John Major’s government in debate over Britain’s exit from the ERM despite having supported entry two years before; Smith then ran the government ragged as he opposed in parliament the Maastricht Treaty that he supported in public.
The difference was Smith was an unambiguous pro-European. Nobody could doubt any government led by him would have striven to be at Europe’s centre.
Corbyn - who opposed everything European until he assumed the leadership - has allowed voters to project their views on him by facing both ways on Brexit.
All politicians need a certain amount of wiggle room in policy to attract and keep support. However, Brexit is not ordinary politics. It is the consuming issue of our lifetime. It is one that any thoughtful political movement would debate and would want to debate.
Our public services are important. But our economic stability relies on getting our future relationship with the European Union right. Talking about housing, nationalisation or equality is not radical when you ignore the practical. It is just dreaming. It is the politics of the unserious and should be left behind at Students’ Unions.
Labour are facing a government without a majority whose leader ekes out a hand-to-mouth political future. The months since the election have seen how perilous it is to go into negotiations unprepared.
Labour might soon find itself in government. Yet on the fundamental issue of the day, it has no coherent policy and is trying not to have one. Worse, its official position points to the same policy as the government’s: Hard Brexit. They are formulating policy by headline. Just because a policy tweak is heralded by The Guardian as soft Brexit does not mean it is. Brexit will dominate any future Labour government. They will find it very hard to bring utopia any closer if the country is falling off a Hard Brexit cliff.
These Bennite Brexiters have given their party a Tory-lite position and refused to bow to party democracy on the matter. Members should be outraged - not singing - not merely at the irony but at their leadership’s complicity.
Were John McDonnell to take to the podium and publically tattoo HARD BREXIT on the leader's forehead, they could not make his sympathies more clearly understood. By creating an official policy that is a fudge, they are potentially ensuring that a Labour government will put the country through the same humiliation the Tories currently are. A Labour government will need a mandate for its position to get any policy through the Commons and the Lords. Its Janus-like stance, Labour is making a future government harder.
From the top down they are behaving in a grossly irresponsible way. It is bad enough that they betray their voters. They are also betraying the country and the poorest who will suffer most from any Brexit crash.
Corbyn supporters protest that they are not a cult. Then they should stop acting like it. They are propping up a leadership not fit for its purpose. These are times for serious thinking, not for banal political iconography. They are either allowing themselves to be played like fools or they are fools. They display the same seriousness their idol lacks.

A state function is a term used quite a bit in chemistry, especially when talking about thermodynamics, and sometimes it’s confusing as to what it really is. It’s not an equation or anything, but a way to describe a property of something. Here’s the easy definition, and a way to remember it.... 3/09/2007 · You can check for something being an eigenfunction by applying the operator to the function, and seeing if it does indeed just scale it. You find eigenfunctions by solving the (differential) equation Au = au.
31/03/2008 · Best Answer: graph them and test if they're functions by using the vertical line test (a vertical line will only cross the graph once. if it crosses the graph more than once, it's not a function). for example, a parabola opening to the right isn't a function.
Function evaluation is something that we’ll be doing a lot of in later sections and chapters so make sure that you can do it. You will find several later sections very difficult to understand and/or do the work in if you do not have a good grasp on how function evaluation works.
I know you said non-VBA preferred, but if you end up with no other solutions, the Range object has a HasFormula property. Returns: True if all cells in the range contain formulas; False if none of the cells in the range contains a formula; null otherwise.
Description. The Microsoft Excel ISNUMERIC function returns TRUE if the expression is a valid number. Otherwise, it returns FALSE. The ISNUMERIC function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as an Information Function.
Evaluate the function as s approaches zero and as s approaches infinity. That will give you a very quick look at low and high pass filters. Band pass can be a little trickier, and may require some factoring first to get it to a form that makes sense to apply the aforementioned process.

I’m an Amazon guy. Whether it’s for gardening supplies, digital cameras, or children’s fire truck ebooks, my family and I use Amazon. For that reason, and because we own at least one Kindle Fire (at the time of this writing) and we use Amazon for almost everything. That free shipping for orders over $25 is just too tempting!
For this reason, each Mac The Fire Truck book is available only in Kindle format at this time. But what about the millions of Ipod, iPhone, and iPad users who purchase content for their children from iTunes? Yes, there is a Kindle app, but what about creating ebooks that are available for purchase directly from Apple?
Amazon offers authors an easy-to-use platform, and with a little programming, children’s books look great on Kindle and are accessible to millions of Kindle owners. As an author, I would love to reach the people who order ebooks for Apple devices. For this reason, I will be releasing each Mac The Fire Truck book in the .epub format on Apple iTunes.
These ebooks will be formatted for view on the iPad. The illustrations will be brilliant and the ebooks will be easily read on any iPod.
The only downside to this is that the Mac The Fire Truck books on Amazon’s will no longer be available for free. Due to Amazon’s terms of service, if I make the ebooks available anywhere other than Amazon, they will no longer be part of Kindle’s free book borrowing program.
So what do you think? Is it a good idea to expand the fire truck ebooks to the Apple market and loose the benefits of exclusivity with Amazon? Or should I stay exclusively with Amazon for the ebooks? I would appreciate feedback from customers and readers on this question. Thanks!
At some point in the future, the Mac The Fire Truck ebooks will be available on this website for purchase in all formats. At least for now, though, I want my customers to be able to use the large ebook etailers (mainly Amazon).
In slightly unrelated news, Loved Again, a book I wrote from a teddy bear’s perspective, will be free as a Kindle ebook November 9th-11th, 2012. This book is brilliantly illustrated with watercolor paintings that are amazing on the Kindle Fire (if I do say so myself!). It is probably not as exciting as a talking fire truck racing to a fire, but it is a true story told from a stuffed bear’s perspective. This is the first book that I have written with watercolor illustrations. This is not a fire truck book, but I thought I would mention it anyway. It is based on my son’s reaction to seeing my childhood teddy bear that I had told him about. He had just turned three at the time, and his reaction was really hilarious! And that bear is now part of his stuffed animal collection!
That is it for now….I appreciate each of you who read this from whatever corner of the world that you come from. Happy reading!

I attended a talk today as part of a Theology of the Body series. A couple shared about what contraception means to them within the confines of their marriage. They used contraception prior to their understanding of the Catholic Church’ teaching and they stopped using contraception after they understood the beauty and wisdom of the Church’ teaching.
The husband presented a model with five layers.
The lowest level is the base hormonal instinct of sexual urges. This occurs naturally during a woman’s fertile window and the man responds to it, instinctively.
The next is the emotional realm where you feel a longing for romance and intimacy.
The third level is that of reason, which is committing to decisions made in the couple’s dialogue regarding their readiness for children based on their current stage of life.
The fourth level is willpower, which is the conscious choice to act according to reason.
Whenever either party experiences instincts or emotions veering towards sexual activity, it is Reason which supersedes these lower level desires and it is an act of will to engage or disengage in sexual activity.
The overarching level in the structure is faith, which is the understanding of the Church’ teaching and submitting fertility decisions to God alone.
The couple also shared about how contraception is a recent phenomenon and the Catholic Church’ response to it, in particular, Pope Paul VI’ response in the form of an encyclical, Humane Vitae. In it, the church takes an unequivocal stand against contraception.
My main takeaway is about how the Church should not compromise its standards as a result of human failings, but that the Church has to set its bar high as we are called to be saints! An important point that struck me from Robert Barron’s interview with Dave Rubin.
At the end of the day as Catholics, we are called to do God’s will in every aspect of our lives and submit to God… everything.

Trades may not be as exciting during the winter as at the July 31 deadline, but the offseason is always bursting with trade rumors. This year is no exception, especially considering how weak this class of free agents appears to be. Teams that have holes to fill may not want to throw money at poor solutions, and instead turn to other clubs looking to rebuild and reload.
So which players could be on the move? The Yankees and Astros got the ball rolling Thursday when Brian McCann went to Houston, but there are a lot more moves out there waiting to be made. Let’s take a look at 10 guys who may find themselves in a different uniform once the spring rolls around.
There have already been whispers that the Dodgers are interested in him, and expect more whispers to follow. With the Tigers seemingly committed to getting younger and cheaper, a number of their established stars could end up moving on. Kinsler, with two affordable years left on his deal, would be appealing to a team wanting to bulk up its infield offense while simultaneously netting the Tigers a nice haul in return. Of all the players the Tigers could trade, Kinsler makes the most sense.
The closer market will likely be out of control this winter with teams more than willing to hand out huge deals to Aroldis Chapman, Kenley Jansen, and Mark Melancon. A small market team with an elite closer on a team-friendly deal would be wise to see what they could get for him, and Kansas City finds itself in that exact position with Davis. With so many teams looking for bullpen help, the market for Davis should be robust. And with major free agency decisions looming for the Royals in the next few years, restocking their system should be a big priority. Davis could be the biggest chip used to accomplish that.
Teams searching for a starting pitcher this winter are being met with a flaming dumpster fire of options, their only choice being which mediocre starter they want to severely overpay. The White Sox could take advantage of that by offering up one of the best starters in the league. The return for Sale should be enormous, considering how good he is and how bad the free agent options are this year. The Sox are inching closer to committing to a rebuild, and dealing Sale would jump start that process. He’s the kind of player that could bring back a package of players that could help Chicago for years.
The Indians find themselves in the same place as the Royals, a small market team holding one of the game’s elite relievers in its back pocket. Miller proved himself to be one of the game’s most elite weapons this postseason and his market should be huge. The Indians are coming off of a World Series appearance and are still a strong team, but they also have to keep an eye towards the future since they can’t compete with big money clubs. Miller’s value will never be higher, and the Tribe could take advantage of that.
Just like the Indians and Royals, the Rays are a small market team with something a lot of other teams want. Archer may not bring back the same return as Sale, but he has a ridiculously team-friendly deal that runs through 2021 that should appeal to any contender looking for starting pitching. Tampa Bay can absorb the hit to the rotation, and Archer could bring back a number of useful pieces for a franchise that constantly has to remake itself.
Braun’s no-trade clause might complicate things, but this could finally be the time the Brewers move on from their tainted slugger. His name came up in trade talks over the summer, with reports saying Milwaukee was thiiiiiisssss close to trading him to the Dodgers. It’d make sense to see what he might bring in a trade, especially after teams miss out on Yoenis Cespedes. Braun may have a checkered history, but he’s still a dangerous hitter in a market that’s bereft of them.
The guy who was almost traded for Braun. Even if the Dodgers and Brewers don’t match up on a deal, Los Angeles could still explore the market for Puig once the dust settles on the Cespedes market. Puig redeemed himself somewhat last year after a stint in the minors, but the Dodgers may simply be sick of his act and ready to move on. There would be a market for him, and he could bring back a nice return.
Last winter’s spending spree did little to help Arizona’s fortunes, and after significant upheaval in the front office the team might be looking to cut payroll and shake things up on the field too. They’d have to pay some of Greinke’s humongous salary to get out from under his contract, but they might not find a better market in which to trade him. Teams will be desperate for starting pitching, and if they can get someone with Greinke’s pedigree at a reasonable price they might be willing to jump.
He’s relatively young and still productive, and if the Tigers are serious about rebuilding they’d be wise to see what Martinez would bring back. Like Milwaukee and Los Angeles, they might wait for Cespedes to sign before truly testing the market, since there are no other significant corner outfielders of note to be had in free agency. Martinez might be the most appealing option on the market considering his age (29) and the fact that he has only one year left on his deal.
It seems like the A’s would be selling low on Gray, but there are teams out there who would see his down year as an aberration and bet on his talent instead. This is exactly the kind of market that Billy Beane should take advantage of in order to do what’s best for his perpetually rebuilding team. Moving Gray wouldn’t be popular with A’s fans, but they should be used to unpopular trades by now, right?

Obviously there is no real way for a cheese ball to be a true 80. However, reducing the fat in the cheese used and adding yummy ingredients that are high in fiber, healthy fats, or antioxidants will certainly improve a cheese ball's nutritional value.
These are a simple, easy, very tasty appetizer for your next holiday party! I make my cheese balls individual size, so there is no messing with serving utensils.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, and Feta cheese. With a hand mixer, combine until smooth. Add dates, minced onion, and salt. Stir to combine.
In a food processor, blend walnuts and arugula leaves until finely chopped. Scoop mixture out onto a clean plate and spread evenly.
With clean hands, remove ~1 Tbsp of cream cheese mixture from bowl. Roll into a ball. When ball is formed, roll in arugula walnut mixture until all sides are covered. Continue to roll the ball in your hands to press mixture into cream cheese. Continue process with remaining mixtures.
Serve with toast points, wheat crackers, thick cucumber slices, or pita chips.

I enjoy the flavor and predictable heat of Serrano peppers in this classic guacamole – a favorite of our customers at Don Juan Restaurants on the northwest side of Chicago. Be sure to use avocados that are soft to the touch, but not too soft, otherwise, the guacamole will turn dark very quickly.
1. Cut the avocados in half; remove the pits.
2. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Coarsely chop with a fork.
3. Stir in onion, cilantro, and chili pepper. Add salt to taste.

This collection of pieces has been written over a span of several years and endeavors to portray some of the events and sights of the nighttime hours. The levels are about 1 through 5 and there is a variety of styles from romantic to ragtime, from quiet to playful and from dancing to dreaming. As always my intention is to spark the imagination and musicality of piano students and I hope I have succeeded in some small way towards that goal.
12 elementary solos suggesting some of the activities, real or imagined, that take place along the beaches and rocky shores of our waterways. Soaring Sea Birds; Mister Crab's Cha-Cha; Gentle Breeze; A Sunny Day; Footprints in the Sand; A Short Ride in a Fast Boat; Fun At the Beach; Lullaby of the Waves; Sand Fleas; The Red Lighthouse; The Colours of Sunset; Don't Rock the Boat!
A collection of 13 pieces ranging from Elementary to Early Intermediate levels (Grade 1 to Grade 4), in various styles from jazz to impressionistic. I hope they will delight the ear and inspire the musical imagination.
11 folk songs of the Northeast arranged for piano solo. The pieces vary in level from Elementary - Iroquois Lullaby,Gai lon la, Acadian Lullaby and Ah!Si mon moine voulez danser! to Intermediate - She's Like the Swallow. My hope is to inspire an interest in our folk music and to present the songs in a musically rewarding format.
10 solos in varying styles - Character, Impressionistic, Swing, Ragtime, Romantic and an arrangement of a French Christmas Carol brought to Canada by the early settlers. The levels range from Elementary (Thistledown) to Intermediate (Clowning Around) and have both musical and technical challenges. Pieces included in the Contemporary Showcase syllabus are Moonlight Reflections (levels1-2),Valentine's Waltz (2-3) and The Buccaneer (3-4).
From Lady Bug and Friends Both players want to play the primo and partway through the piece secondo decides to go for it, moves up the bench and shoves primo off! Primo has to run to the other end and finish playing the lower part It's good practice for each partner to learn both parts and ensures that both master the rather tricky rumba rhythm. It's also lots of fun and can be "hammed up" to great effect.
The lilting, tango rhythm is introduced and played throughout by the lowest part with both harmonic and melodic interest for the middle player. Primo adds counter melodies and the sound of castanets in the high register. Rhythmic accuracy is essential for all partners especially after the quarter rests that punctuate the pulse.

text: John played his high school baseball at Buchtel and Cuyahoga Falls High before joining the Exchange Chevy’s in the American Legion League. He won two championships, then began playing in the A League with Simpson Markets team. After a couple of seasons with the Markets, Chet Foltz’s National A-C team needed a shortstop, and John handled that spot for several years and three championships. During that time another Maple Valley team was rising to prominence, Marshall Snider’s-Sohio A.C. team. So John and 1985 Hall of Famer Bill Aylward joined that team, taking them to the State finals at Van Wert. Being drafted into the Army prevented John from joining the Boston Braves organization. However, the Fort Hayes Army team made use of his talents. All in all, John spent 15 years in baseball in the Akron area before moving to Florida.

Traveling over the holidays can be stressful, I know. We’re currently packing bags for our family of 5 to fly to South America over the holidays for a 3 week stay. As if cancelled flights, delays on the tarmac and long lines for airport bathrooms weren’t bad enough, you might be tempted to throw in the towel on traveling with Christmas gifts this year. Let me help!
Make the season merry, put on a smile, and “click” to purchase any of these tried-and-true children’s Christmas gifts that will easily pack into even the smallest piece of carry-on luggage. It’s a win-win: you pick up an all-star gift that slips right into your suitcase, allowing oodles of space for all your personal items and the recipient will beam as he unwraps the thoughtful gift you brought along with you.
Every single one of these toys was given a 5-star recommendation from my own children. Many of them are toys we own and love. *These gifts are intended to delight kiddos in the 3-5 year age range.
This vibrant, fun cartoon puzzle is more than just a puzzle! My kids love the “spot and find” feature, kind of like “Where’s Waldo?” built right into the puzzle.
These paints glide on with a wet brush and wash off beautifully. By far these were my children’s favorite gift last Christmas…and we still have paints left even after nearly weekly applications.
Practice makes perfect! What a better way to teach children to hold a real fishing pole than to play with this fun magnetic pole?!
By far, this was and is my children’s favorite book, rivaled only by this one.
Every child loves showcasing their inner artist in the tub. These crayons wash off clean simply with water.
Trigger imaginative play with a colorful superhero cape!
Use these silly cards to build your own stories. Guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing, every story is different.
Because crayons are more fun in peculiar shapes.
P.S. Really “rock” this gift by pickup up a fantastic coloring book to go with it!
Every single Bible story points to Jesus in this incredible kids Bible. We’re now on our 2nd copy, my children “read” this so often both at nighttime for family bedtime reading and on their own.
Spy gear or jungle safari equipment, this pair of binoculars will bring out the Indiana Jones in every child.
Children love painting the windows with these bright window markers. I’ve never tried the crystal effects version, but we’re smitten with the vibrancy of the standard line- so much brighter than dry-erase markers, that I know my kidlets would giggle with glee to test these out.
Classic kid fun. If anybody has tips for how to fly these, please share in the comments! My children love kites even though ours has never flown more than a foot or two above my head.
Remove cleanly and add pizazz to the child’s room.
Share the wealth! Parents, do you have more children’s gift ideas to add to the list? Please share them in the comments and help everyone out!
These are such awesome ideas! We aren’t traveling anywhere this Christmas, but last year we spent a few days visiting my parents before heading off on a month-long stay in another state, and I wish some of the gifts we’d received had been small like this! Our car was PACKED! Thanks for sharing!
You bet, Chelsea! Happy to help. I know it can be really frustrating to do last-minute shopping right before Christmas, so if you travel with gifts in tow, it’s less stressful. Hope you and your family have a spectacular celebration this year.
Jared, I’d love to know how to save the airport hassle, but until you and I shell out for a private jet, I’m afraid we’ll have to make do 😉 Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your busy day to stop by.
These are all great ideas! I love that fishing pole for boys and of course the super girl cape and mask is so cute! These are great gifts for a few kids on my list and I think I will head over right now and look into ordering them! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked the options, Melissa. I’m always trying to find new fun gifts that will keep my kiddos entertained for more than a quick second. Have a great Christmas!
I love the superhero cape. Very clever. The face paints work. Love the bath crayons. Great gifts!
These are great ideas for those traveling and for those not traveling. I know several kids that would like everything on this list. These gifts will provide hours of fun.
Thanks for the encouragement, Gwendolyn! I just know my kiddos were pleased with them, so I figured other parents could get some ideas from it.
I always thought it would be hard on families who have to travel during the holidays. I love the cape it’s my favorite. The colored rocks look like fun too. These are really great options.
Thanks so much, Valerie. Kids love dress up, and buying them a superhero cape is an easy way to get them engaged in creative, imaginative play. Thanks so much for visiting.
You have picked out some really great gift ideas. My kids always get a book for Christmas and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a favorite of ours! We love the whole series.
I’m so happy to hear that your kids enjoy the whole series. I’ve been planning to buy a couple more in the series either for Christmas this year or for the kids birthdays next year. Thanks for filling me in, Kate!
We won’t be traveling anywhere this Christmas. However, these gift ideas are still great for us as we don’t have much space for bigger toys. I want my kiddos Christmas to be special regardless.
Books and puzzles are great since these can keep them company. These are also good alternatives to mobile apps and computer games that kids nowadays are addicted to. Face paint remover should also be part of the suitcase essentials if you’re carrying face paint.
I’m totally on board with you, Roch. I’m not at all a fan of techie gadgets, especially for young kids. Mine have none. Oil based face paints definitely would benefit from having a remover added to the gift. Fortunately, I’ve found that the dry add-water formulas remove cleanly with a wet washcloth- where was that when I was a kid, haha?!
We have been thinking of traveling at the holiday time because the kids are off of school. Since it is also off season for a lot of places you can get some great deals and smaller crowds….we think it would be awesome! But….the whole Santa thing…not sure how to handle that. These gift ideas are great for giving the kids a festive holiday while traveling!

Representatives W. Henson Moore and John B. Breaux will meet in a runoff Nov. 4 as Mr. Moore fell short in his bid Saturday to be the first Republican from Louisiana to serve in the United States Senate in more than a century.
With 3,054 of 3,245 precincts, or 94 percent, in Saturday's open primary reporting, Mr. Moore had 495,580 votes, or 45 percent, and Mr. Breaux, a Democrat, 410,170, or 37 percent. The nearest competitor among the rest of the 14 candidates had just over 70,000 votes.
Had Mr. Moore won a majority of the vote, he automatically would have won the seat.
Mr. Moore conceded early this morning that there would be a runoff.
But Mr. Breaux, 42 years old, from the Cajun town of Crowley, was optimistic.
Mr. Moore, 46, of Baton Rouge, enjoyed strong support from the Reagan Administration and was the undisputed leader in the primary, but he had said he doubted he would be able to pull a majority of votes to win outright the seat now held by Russell B. Long, who is retiring.
A record 14 candidates were vying to replace Senator Long, the patriarch of a dynasty that has dominated Louisiana politics for 60 years.
The candidates included three Democratic state officials: Senate President Sammy Nunez, a veteran lawmaker with strong support in his New Orleans area; Senator J. E. Jumonville Jr., an oilfield heir who is a racehorse breeder; and Sherman Bernard, State Insurance Commissioner. The nine other candidates had little money to campaign with and attracted little attention.
In other Congressional races, Representative Lindy Boggs, a Democrat from the New Orleans-based 2nd District, and Representative Jerry Huckaby, a Democrat, of the 5th District in northeast Louisiana, easily won re-election.
Representative Moore's 6th District seat was won by the Republican, Richard Baker, a State Legislator, with 54 percent of the vote over the Democrat, Tommy Hudson, also a State Legislator.
Runoffs appeared likely in the crowded races for Representative Breaux's 7th District seat and the 8th District seat being vacated by Representative Cathy Long, who is retiring.
House members winning re-election automatically with no opposition were Bob Livingston, a Republican; W. J. (Billy) Tauzin, a Democrat; and Buddy Roemer, a Democrat.
The Republican national party had placed a premium on this race to maintain control of the United States Senate, where it now has 53 of the 47 seats. President Reagan and Vice President Bush visited the state several times to stump on Representative Moore's behalf. Despite Louisiana's solid 6-to-1 Democratic majority, the state went for Mr. Reagan in 1980 and 1984.

On the initiative of the Hungarian minority in Romania – FUEN-member “Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania” (RMDSZ) and supported by the “South Tyrolean People’s Party” (SVP) – FUEN-member from South Tyrol – and the Youth of European Nationalities (YEN) the idea of engaging in a European Citizens’ Initiative for the minorities in Europe was launched.
The European Citizens’ Initiative is an instrument of direct democracy in the European Union that was introduced with the Lisbon Treaty. Since 1 April 2012 citizens have the chance to use it. The citizens’ initiative enables citizens of the EU to ensure that the European Commission will deal with a specific issue. With statements of support from at least one million EU citizens, from at least seven Member States, the Commission can be called upon to propose a legal act on a subject for which measures have to be taken according to the initiators.
With the Citizens’ Initiative “Minority Safepack” the initiators call for a set of actions and legal acts to promote and to protect the autochthonous, national minorities and the regional or minority languages.
The official start of the European Citizens’ Initiative took place at the Cathedral Square in Brixen/South Tyrol on 21 June 2013, during the FUEN Congress, in the presence of representatives of the 7-member citizens’ committee with the Prime Minister of South Tyrol Luis Durnwalder, FUEN President Hans Heinrich Hansen and RMDSZ President Hunor Kelemen.
Language diversity supports the European Citizens’ Initiative “Minority Safepack” – in particular the measures in regard to regional or minority languages.

Description: Bring your family and friends for an unforgettable evening. Angelino's is a cozy, casual BYOB Italian neighborhood restaurant, but there's lots of room for groups of all sizes. You can even eat outdoors when the weather is good, and there's always free Wi-Fi™ available for our customers. You can due lunch or dinner in a relaxed atmosphere and even have a meeting if needed.
I had a pita and my friend had the South Philly sandwich and both were excellent, good healthy ingredients, big portions, price is more than reasonable. Plenty of choices too!
Indulge in a Philadelphia classic wrapped in an excellent pizza crust. Crisp outside with the proper pizza crust "tooth" filled with oodles of "Philly" steak, green peppers, onions, sauce, and cheese....delicious. Try their exceptional pizza too!
great pizza but also delightful menu of delicious food. Coconut shrimp ,flatbreads & chipotle offerings supplement the pizza if you want something more. Special salad needs to be shared!
One of the best thing in Philadelphia is the idea of BYOB (bring your own bottle) restaurants. Angelino's is one of them. They are very kind, the food is great (try the vodka sauce pasta) and comes in huge amount!
Great place for lunch after a walk in the city!
My favorite place to stop for lunch after I have had a long walk in and around the city. When my son lived nearby we always had dinner there and were never disappointed. Food is always fresh and great. A cannot-go-wrong place.

Here, we have compiled some simple decorating tricks that can give any bedroom a makeover.
Pillows are an inexpensive way of adding interest to your room. Pile them on! The more the merrier. Piling on the pillows is an artform in and of itself. Mix and match patterns. Combine large prints with small ones. Play around with colors that may or may not match. Not only do the pillows serve a decorative purpose, they are for comfort as well!
Tired of the blank walls in your rented bedroom? There are many ways for you to DIY artwork. If you have the skill, make a large painting on your own. It adds a personal touch to an otherwise bare space. If you’re not as artsy as you would like to be, look for a tapestry or graphic quilt. This is an easy and inexpensive solution to blank walls.
Play around with patterns, such as in a printed bedsheet or quilt cover. This helps add some visual interest to attract the eye and disrupt the monotony that can come from monochrome color schemes.
Patterns and prints are not only reserved for bedding. They are just as eye catching when you incorporate them in your décor as accent pieces. Think about a table lab with a damask lamp shade, or even an alarm clock shaped like a bright red tomato!
If space is your major dilemma, think about adding foldable and adjustable pieces affixed to the walls. Add some foldable night stands, or adjustable lamps. You could even add some wall shelves for the extra storage space. Of course, do take note that you have to fill in any patches after you move out.
Do remember that while you have a free hand to decorate your room as you’d like, make sure you tie them all together to give consistency to your space. A look that is tied together brings serenity and peace, allowing your bedroom to be the epitome of comfort.
Make your bedroom comfy. Of course, this is a no-brainer since you rest and relax in it. Consider adding a touch extra comfort, such as a down comforter. Make your bed indulgent but that also says “come here, come here to me”.
This is an age-old design concept. Choose a piece of furniture to act as the focal point in your room. Whether you want to center your bed with the walls, or angle it at a corner, make sure the eye is focused on the main piece of furniture, and let the rest add on to it.
Do recall one of the key concepts of design: scale! Be sure every piece of furniture and décor in your bedroom is proportionate to each other. You wouldn’t pair a large king size bed with tiny bedside tables. Neither would you add a large dresser beside a small desk. Play around with the proportions and scale of your room to come up with the perfect fit.
If you want color, and you’re not allowed to paint the walls, think about injecting it through your art and accessories. These accent pieces are a good way to give a good visual pop in your room.
Just because your bed is the center of comfort in your room, doesn’t meant that you should neglect the floors. Look out for a nice big rug for your bedroom floor. Add a burst of sunshine to your low-key room with a cheery yellow rug. You never know, with the addition of a few throw pillows, this could be your answer to more sitting space in your room.
If color is your thing, you can play around with color in your room. Layer different complementary colors over each other. Or even go for a one-color scheme but adding different layers of saturation.
If color is not your thing, no worries. You can add some unexpected warmth to your room with some soft lighting and neutral color tones. They add a sense of comfort to your otherwise plain looking bedroom.
Add a zest of reinvention to your room to make things as unexpected as possible. Tuck a plush armchair into a corner to create a small resting nook or reading spot. Add in some lush draperies to turn your room from bright in the morning to a warm cocoon at night.
Your bedroom is your retreat; your safe haven. It is a sanctuary for you to enjoy your peace and quiet as much as it is a place for resting and recuperating. While décor is an essential part of any space, make sure that the priority of your space and décor should be on your rest and your health.
There are several different cotton sheets types to choose from when considering thread count: Egyptian, Pima, Supima, and Organic. silk bed sheets Using sheets in a red color will help to liven up the room.

India vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane has termed Australia as the favourites to win the Test series, saying that the team home-team has enough quality despite missing two of their star players in Steve Smith and David Warner.
"I feel Australia are still the favourite to win this series," Rahane said on Tuesday.
"Yes, they are missing Smith and Warner but I don't think they are vulnerable. Definitely both (Smith and Warner) are quality players, I am not going to take anything away from them. But on a given day, anyone can score a hundred. Usman Khawaja is equally dangerous and in their conditions, they know how the wicket behaves.
"We're not going to take Australia lightly," he added.
India have often struggled to start well, losing their first Tests in South Africa and England, which often results in them playing catch-up. Rahane added that it was important to learn from previous mistakes and start well in the series.
"It's important to start afresh in each and every series, we have learned from our mistakes and need to focus on our strengths and positives as a team," said Rahane.
Talking about his own form, which has been patchy of late, the middle-order batsmen said that he realised the importance of converting his starts into big hundreds.
"The innings in Johannesburg was important for me, then I got some starts in England. It is important to convert those starts into hundreds. I will look to do that in Australia," he said.
The 30-year-old also talked about the importance of long partnerships, something India managed to do quite well in 2014 (previous tour of Australia) but also said that the batsman needs to give themselves sometime in the middle.
"As someone who bats at no.4 or 5, I feel visualisation is very important, right from when you are in the dressing room. First 20-25 minutes on the crease, you need to take your time. Having an extra batsman below you doesn't change anything.
"It's important to get runs in the middle-overs because Kookaburra ball is good to bat between 35 to 60-65 overs. We need to have that intent and positive mindset," said Rahane.

The serious problem of abandoned newborns (two of which were found recently dead) has put the issue back into the spotlight revealing the desperate situation in which too many women are in UAE. A police officer Sharjah stressed that only in the last two months found a newborn girl abandoned in Jamal Abdul Nasser Road on August 11, another baby was found on a rooftop in the Al Ramallah on 15 July, body of a newborn was found dead in a sewage pipe in the Free Zone of Sharjah and a decomposed body of a newborn baby was found in a work under construction in Al Mosla in July. " The official in charge of child protection in the emirate has expressed concern, saying that many women panic when faced with the consequences of the law in the country to become pregnant unmarried. The offense carries a prison sentence of up to 12 months and deportation for mother and baby. Ahmed Al Tartour, director of the Protection of the Rights of the Child in Social Services Sharjah, stated that "women affected are ignorant, poor or seeking a better life for their children in the UAE. The abandoned in Sharjah children are sent to centers welcome. All cases of abandoned children are reviewed by a committee looking for a suitable home for these children who are treated like orphans " . If the biological parents are not found, the authorities allow babies be welcomed by families or expats Emirates.
Couples who want to become guardians of an abandoned child are reviewed by committees of the Child Protection Center . A court reviews your case and issue a certificate of no objection. "The Department for Child Protection has the right to surrender the child for adoption to unmarried women, divorced or widowed, whose age is not less than 30 nor more than 50. The family is ready to welcome the child has the right to give the name, while the judge give the name and father 's tribe . the documents issued to the child should not show that it is an adopted child. " A Filipino 40, who asked to remain anonymous, told the newspaper 7days that " was considering adopting a child, because I met a countrywoman in her 20s , who gave birth to a child out of wedlock. "the delivery took place at home and the father is an Arab nationality and fled the country. the baby now has a month, does not have any documentation and I want to start with adoption procedures." Almazar Barney's attorney, who works with the Philippine Embassy, said that fear is the main cause of the cases it has dealt with regarding this issue . "I've dealt with 12 cases of unmarried pregnant women since the beginning of this year. These mothers do not give birth in hospitals because they are afraid to go to jail and be deported." When a pregnant woman gives birth in the UAE, the authorities control the passports of her and husband. "I have seen a situation where a Filipino mother gave her child to a family, now the child is seven years old and is undocumented. Therefore, it can not be enrolled in school , " added the lawyer.

Good evening dears, I have a request to compare OPI Thanks A Windmillion and YSL Jade Imperial. They're both pretty jade creams but there's quite a price difference between the two.
Formula is very similar for both, each could be nearly a one coater but two coats provide even coverage. The brushes are both wide and there's no pooling or streaking for either. Both dry to a high shine on their own.
Thanks for the question The Ramblings Of A Maniac!

Congratulations! You have just gotten engaged. You and your fiancé(e) are ready to start an exciting new phase in life. But your fiancé(e) is a non-resident foreign citizen who does not currently reside in the United States. What needs to be done now to bring your Alien Fiancé(e) (foreign national, non-resident) to the United States, legally in order to secure their legal status and future once they are here States?
After the Fiancé(e) Visa is issued, your fiancé(e) will be provided with a passport and other documents, along with the visa, which will allow them to enter the United States for 90 days so that your marriage ceremony can take place. With the visa, the alien fiancé(e) can apply for a single admission at a U.S. port-of-entry within the validity of the visa, which will be a maximum of 6 months from the date of issuance.
Getting engaged is an exciting moment in two people’s life. It can be even more exciting when an engagement provides the opportunity to broaden the horizon’s of another person, to the extent that they are able to call the United States their new home and start a new chapter of their life here. However, the vast immigration laws of the United States of America, and their overwhelming complexities and technicalities can be extremely difficult and frustrating. If any of these laws, guidelines, requirements, or technicalities are mistaken, misunderstood or not followed with precision and detail, this exciting time can become an extremely stressful and difficult time.

Weird, pointless strap? Lol, I think that’s for carrying your hammer. Tyo is a carpenter by trade, right?
Funny, my mum always used to refer to them as ‘painters pants’, and thought it was for hanging a paintbrush! Maybe they are just generally good for handy-people?
She looks very cool indeed. Great trousers! Err.. capris. Or piratas. Whatever. She looks great in them. Good job.
These are cute. She is VERY cool. And I love the term piratas. Haven’t come across that one before but its very appropriate.
What a great looking pair of capris. I love camo done in blues…or pinks… or oranges…Hmmm…I think I just love camo. Tyo looks very pleased!
I can’t believe you got those out of a half metre of fabric. They turned out great!
So cute! Here we’d call them capris. If they’re right above the knee, they’re bermudas or trouser shorts. If they’re longer than capris and almost reach the ankle but not quite, then we’d call them clam-diggers (I’ve also heard pedal-pushers). And if they’re pants that are not long enough because it looks like the person has outgrown them, they’re called high-waters (but that term is negative). Pants with the hammer loop are called dungarees here. So many words! And I’ve never heard of piratas, but I’ll have to start using that one.
Here is in the USA, southeast. The “Lee” jean brand sold “dungarees” that were very popular in the 90s here. They weren’t overalls, but they did have the hammer loop and extra pockets. I had a pair and i thought they were so cool, but never had use for the hammer loop. I also had a pair of overalls that i loved, and now i think any overall would look terrible on me!
Those are awesome pants for an awesome daughter. Maybe there will be a fishing accessory that would sit in that loop? I don’t see her carrying around a hammer all day.
Pocket knife, odd sticks, and rocks get carried around all the time, but the hammers, admittedly, not quite as much. Hmm.
I love that Tyo is so confident in who she is! I agree that the piping would have been nice on the waistband, but also doubt that anyone would think about that sort of thing except for other sewists. I personally don’t like those hammer-loopy things on my pants because I am super-klutzy, so I always end up somehow snagging that loop on things.
She is waaay too cool! Great piratas.
I would definitely say these are “pedal-pushers”, although the word didn’t spring to mind immediately. (After some groping for the word, the best I could come up with independently was “knickerbockers”.) They’re essentially knee-breeches. Definitely not capris (which is what Audrey Hepburn wore).
When I think of capris, I think of the length that they define as “toreadors” (a term that I might have heard once or twice, but certainly has no currency here), which is similar to the length of the pants I’ve seen in Audrey Hepburn photos. I also think of the short pants that you start to see in the spring on women of a certain age as capris. Because capri pants were popular in the 50s and 60s, I wanted to check what the length was at that time, but I haven’t been able to find anything yet.
We did not grow up that far apart. How did we end up with such different understandings of “capri”?
Those look pretty cool! And I agree with isidore: as far as I know, that weird strap if for hanging one’s hammer.

Pick the color wrapper you prefer, dark or light. Gently feel the cigar between your fingers (don't roll it because that could cause the wrapper to crack) to see if it's too moist or too dry. Inspect the construction of the cigar to insure there are no cracks in the wrapper and the cap is in good condition. While some cigar smokers like to hold the cigar up to their nose and sniff the product, others find this distasteful when they see someone put a cigar up to their nose and then put it back in the box. If you must smell the tobacco, just hold your nose 12 inches over the box of opened cigars and take a breath, this should be sufficient for you to determine the bouquet of the cigar and it will cause fewer problems for other customers.
Many feel that using a guillotine type cigar cutter or cigar scissors is the most effective way to cut a premium cigar. Be careful not to cut past the cap of the cigar. Besides a guillotine type cutter, some smokers use a sharp knife, a cigar punch, a V cutter and some even use their teeth. Perhaps the most difficult cutting instrument to use is the cigar scissors which requires practice, a steady hand and a good eye.
The foot, or tip of the cigar should be started by using a long wooden cigar match or a butane lighter. Avoid candles, paper matches, a stove and lighters that use lighter fluid (naphtha) because the chemicals and odors can affect the taste of the tobacco. When using a match, wait until the sulfur burns off before lighting the cigar. The ideal instrument is a butane lighter.
Start lighting a cigar by holding it at a 45-degree angle over the flame, about 3-4 inches from the tip of the cigar (depending on the height of the flame you're using) and rotate the cigar until the foot begins to ignite. Never letting the flame touch the cigar, slowly puff on the cigar while rotating it around the flame.
Take a look at the foot and make sure the cigar is burning evenly. To insure a proper light you can gently blow on the foot to insure a complete lighting. Once the cigar is lighted let it sit for a minute as the short delay will allow the freshly lighted cigar to stabilize.
Most premium handmade cigars (those costing from $3 to $30 each) will hold a very long ash before falling off. The ash on cheaper cigars tends to flake easily and fall off more frequently. Properly grown and maintained cigar tobacco will have a whiter ash than the sometimes very gray ash produced on lower quality cigars. While some smokers like to see how long the ash on a cigar can grow before falling off by itself--keep in mind when in a public place where cigar smoking is permitted--or at a party, you don't want cigar ashes to fall on your clothes, a floor, or a rug. It's always wise as you see the ash starting to gain length to gently tap it off.
It's mostly a personal decision when opting whether to take a cigar band off or leave it on while smoking ones favorite cigar. Some say that leaving the band on promotes conversation among cigar smokers, while others say it's a showy thing to do that shows a lack of proper cigar etiquette. If you do decide to remove the cigar band make sure you let the cigar heat up before taking it off as the heat from the cigar will help loosen the glue that holds the band on. Remember too, that taking the band off some brands of Cuban cigars (even after heating), like the Montecristo, is very difficult and can result in damage to the cigar wrapper.
Perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of cigar smoking is relighting an extinguishing cigars. On the subject of relighting, cigars by nature will go out if not puffed on every few minutes, so relighting a fresh cigar isn't a problem. While some contend you can save a partially smoked cigar for more than 24 hours, it's best to avoid relighting a cigar that hasn't been smoked in more than 2 hours. When relighting a cigar hold the flame in front of the foot and blow out to help expel any old gases or ash that may have become trapped in the cigar. After that step, follow standard lighting procedures. To extinguish a cigar, just let it go out by itself in an ashtray. Stubbing-out a cigar produces a stale odor that can linger in a room. Once you're sure your cigar is out dispose of it in a safe manner.

The British Olympic Association (BOA) is delighted to announce that the 2011 BT British Olympic Ball, which took place last Friday (7th October) at Kensington Olympia, has raised well over £700,000 for Team GB, far exceeding the fundraising target for the event.
The star studded, sell out evening saw more than 2,000 guests from the world of sport and entertainment rubbing shoulders with Olympic legends and Team GB hopefuls in Olympia’s stunning Grand Hall. In total, the winners of over 140 Olympic medals, including more than 80 gold medals, were present in the room, making it a truly unique and special celebration of British Olympic success.
Among those to walk the glittering gold carpet were three-times cycling Olympic gold medallist Bradley Wiggins, 400m hurdles World Champion Dai Greene, triathlon world number one and two Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee, Olympic rowing legend Sir Steve Redgrave and a host of celebrities including Downtown Abbey’s Dan Stevens, former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm, model Nell McAndrew and singer Katie Melua.
HRH Princess Anne was guest of honour on the evening. An Olympian herself, the Princess Royal delivered a speech calling on the entire nation to unite in support of the greatest team Great Britain and Northern Ireland will ever have sent to an Olympic Games.
As part of the evening’s entertainment guests were treated to performances by the legendary Sir Tom Jones and current rap sensation Tinchy Stryder. The exquisite menu was devised by Michelin starred Executive Chef Tom Aikens.
Hosted by Stephen Fry and Miranda Hart, the evening allowed guests the unique opportunity to bid on once in a lifetime London 2012 hospitality packages donated by Prestige Ticketing, including the chance to watch the finals sessions for track cycling in the Velodrome, swimming in the Aquatics Centre and perhaps the most coveted seats of all: the men’s 100m final.
“The 2011 BT British Olympic Ball was bigger and better than ever and we are delighted with the tremendous level of support expressed for Team GB from the 2,200 guests in attendance. Raising nearly three-quarters of a million pounds from this event is a fantastic outcome for Team GB and we are really grateful to everyone who supported and participated in the event.
“It was an outstanding evening of high quality music and entertainment and it was inspiring to see over one hundred of our greatest Olympians, spanning five decades of British Olympic success, alongside many of the current athletes who will represent Team GB as part of Our Greatest Team at the London 2012 Games.
“I was delighted at how successful this year’s event was. To see more than 2,000 people coming out to support what will be our greatest ever Team GB was inspiring for myself and all the other athletes who attended.
“In addition to the fantastic sums raised at the ball, BP Target Neutral offset the entire travel carbon footprint of the ball as part of BP’s commitment to help make London 2012 the most sustainable Games possible. The BOA is joining Target Neutral and spectators from around the world in setting a new world record for the most number of journeys offset to a single event – London 2012.

In a nutshell: Valuable art was stolen in the Netherlands. The art was found by intelligence agencies in Ukraine. Spies determined that Oleh Tyahnybok has some of the work.
Oleg Tyahnybok can be seen below doing the Nazi salute (wrong hand), and also shaking hands with Biden.
Tyahnybok and the rest of his party are Nazis. We are doing business with them. That we are doing business with them is not new, but that they also deal in stolen art is the story here.
Some others who are photographed dealing with the Nazi thieves include: German minister of foreign affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird, John Kerry, Joe Biden, John McCain, and Hillary Clinton.
All have backed these Nazis who are trying to ransom Dutch artwork back to Netherlands.
I do not know if this was reported this hour, but here goes: Some of the artwork is damaged because the thieves rolled the paintings and caused much damage. The cost of restoration + ransom is not worth it.

African teens are looking for hope and belonging. We love them and introduce them to Jesus.
Young people in Africa face challenges — getting an education, finding a job, helping their families. They live with political instability and corruption, limited resources, drought, disease and famine, drugs and alcohol. They ask the same questions teenagers around the world ask: Who am I? Do I matter? Our leaders tell them they’re loved and have a purpose.
Since launching in Africa a little over a decade ago, Young Life has grown rapidly, reaching almost 1,111,000 kids in a growing number of African countries. But we have done this by reaching one kid at a time.
Young Life Africa introduces teenagers to Jesus Christ and helps them grow in their faith. We work on a continent of young people; 75% of the population of sub-Sahara Africa is under the age of 25. When leaders share Jesus with kids, hearts change, lives change, communities change.
In 2018, we knew 1,110,997 kids by name.
And we’re doubling in size and impact every three years.
Be part of introducing young people in Africa to Jesus and transforming hearts, lives, families, communities and the continent.
Consider a one-time or monthly gift to support Young Life leaders sharing the gospel with young people in Africa – one village, one town, one country at a time.
Young Life Africa’s sponsorship program allows individuals, families or churches to directly support a staff, country, camp or Developing Global Leaders student.
Want to explore the beautiful continent of Africa? Come adventure with us and experience ministry on the ground in Africa by participating in a YL Expeditions trip.
