Never Considered a Cruise – Here’s Why You Should Think Again Last Updated: 4/15/2014 13:10 PST A luxury cruise is one of life’s pure joys. Today’s modern cruise liners are engineering marvels; floating 5-star hotels that offer the best service, accommodation, cuisine, and activities. Over the past few years, cruise companies have spared no expense and literally invested billions in jaw-dropping super ships. But, the best news is that due to the slowdown in travel caused by the recession and significant overcapacity in the industry, savvy travelers can now book once-in-a-lifetime cruises at insanely low prices. How does 80 percent off the brochure price sound? Founded more than 25 years ago, Vacations To Go realized that taking a cruise vacation was a new experience for many. Vacations To Go is now home to an extensive selection of top-brand cruise vacations, and in-depth information about every cruise line and cruise ship. But, what about the discounts? This year, it seems like everyone is cruising--and, for good reason.
Wild Ally Workbook | Food Under Foot We are excited by the response to FoodUnderFoot.com. When the Wild Edible Series was met with cries for “More!” from the rapidly growing Food Under Foot Family, we asked you to tell us what you wanted. And you did. So Melissa, David and I began planning several projects. “How do I get started?” She recommends people do what she did as an apprentice herbalist – a simple yet profoundly effective technique that plunged her intimately into the natural world. She found her Wild Plant Ally. The Ally is a plant with which you join forces, studying it throughout its life cycle, appreciating all its parts and uses. Melissa has laid out in great detail how to choose an Ally of your own, how to learn from it and how to enter more deeply in the natural world. This book is a Workbook. The Wild Plant Ally Workbook teaches you how to learn about wild edible plants. Click ABOVE PICTURE for SAMPLE of Workbook It is not a resource book. “I know you will enjoy this journey. Jason
Impressionism Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists. Their independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s, in spite of harsh opposition from the conventional art community in France. The name of the style derives from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satirical review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari. Overview[edit] Radicals in their time, early Impressionists violated the rules of academic painting. Impressionism emerged in France at the same time that a number of other painters, including the Italian artists known as the Macchiaioli, and Winslow Homer in the United States, were also exploring plein-air painting. Beginnings[edit] In the middle of the 19th century—a time of change, as Emperor Napoleon III rebuilt Paris and waged war—the Académie des Beaux-Arts dominated French art.
Eighty percent of the packaged foods on our grocers shelves are banned in other countries (NaturalNews) According to the new book Rich Food, Poor Food, ingredients commonly found in up to 80 percent of all pre-packaged foods on grocers shelves in the U.S. have been banned in other countries. As alarming as such information is, our food safety outlook becomes even bleaker when we consider other banned and toxic food items. In the book, authors Mira and Jason Calton provide a list of banned ingredients which they term “Banned Bad Boys” as well as the countries which have banned them. Among the items is Olestra – commonly used in low/no-fat snack foods and known to cause serious gastrointestinal issues – which has been banned in the United Kingdom and Canada. Worse is brominated vegetable oil, a substance found in Mountain Dew and Fresca which has been banned in more than 100 countries. Other dangerous items listed include food colorings – such as yellow #5 and yellow #6, dyes used to make mac & cheese dinners visually appealing.
sewing tutorial | KIDS | crafts | handmade gifts | bread bags | fort kits | diy hang tags | saltwater-kids My boys spend hours perched in our front window, just watching birds. They especially love putting out treats for their feathered friends. It is amazing how quiet and still a three & five year-old can be - completely memorized. So, for gifts this year we are keeping it simple - giving an experience rather than just more stuff. These molded bird seed ornaments are a lot of fun to make, and very inexpensive. I found this recipe here, and it worked great! You'll Need: 3/4 cup flour 1/2 cup water 1 envelope unflavored gelatin 3 tbsp. corn syrup 4 cups birdseed molds (muffin tin, cookie cutters, etc.) 1: Combine the flour, water, gelatin and corn syrup in a large mixing bowl. 3: Spray your mold(s) with cooking spray, and spoon birdseed mixture into each mold. Poke a hole through top of each birdseed mold using a drinking straw, making sure it goes all the way through. 4: Leave the birdseed mixture in the molds for two to three hours. 5: Cut your ribbon and carefully put it through the hole.
(1) Making Nothing Happen: Yeats, Heidegger, Pessoa, and the Emergence of Post-Romanticism | James Corby Humanities 1192. Early German Romanticism German Romanticism emerged out of a crisis in philosophy. Since Descartes’s thought-experimentof radical skepticism and the consequent positioning of a reflective, self-certain subject at the heart of thought, questions of epistemology became increasingly entangled with questions of subjectivity [8–13].If the self is in a constant, reflective relationship with itself in all its cognitive operations, it canseemingly never, as it were, free itself from itself in order to know either itself in its totality or thingsas they are in themselves. failure of reflectivethought and thereby rupturing the subjectivism of thought’s finite, conceptualizing grasp, a spacemight be created in the artwork in which that which exceeds ordinary consciousness—variouslyreferred to as the absolute, being, or the unconditioned—may come forth and show itself in all of itsstrangeness and ungraspability.

Cancer breakthrough: Probiotics may save patients from deadly chemotherapy; antibiotics may cause chemo to be fatal (NaturalNews) If you or someone you love is facing the possibility of cancer or chemotherapy, make sure they read this story. Breakthrough new science conducted at the University of Michigan and about to be published in the journal Nature reveals that intestinal health is the key to surviving chemotherapy. The study itself is very difficult for laypeople to parse, however, so I'm going to translate into everyday language while also offering additional interpretations of the research that the original study author is likely unable to state due to the nutritional censorship of medical journals and universities, both of which have an anti-nutrition bias. The upshot is this: A clinical study gave mice lethal injections of chemotherapy that would, pound for pound, kill most adult human beings, too. Chemotherapy is deadly. The substance is called "Rspo1" or "R-spondon1." As the study showed, 50 - 75 percent of the mice who were given R-spondon1 survived the fatal chemotherapy dose!
Build a Bug Hotel A bug hotel is part garden art and part winter habitat for beneficial insects, the garden army that helps to keep the bad bugs under control. If you are an organic gardener like me, then you will want to be sure that there is a place in your garden for beneficial insects to lodge for the winter. Next spring, when they wake up, lay eggs, and sweep your plants clean of aphids and mites, you will thank me. Here is how to make one for this weekend project. Oftentimes these decorative displays of plant material intended to provide shelter to overwintering insects are called “bug hotels” or “insect houses.” Perhaps they should be called “bug hostels” because the rooms are available to all but they do need to bring their own sleeping bag. Bees Many garden bees are ground dwellers so they won’t have a need for a hotel room. Ladybugs Ladybugs like to overwinter as large groups in between dry plant material.
