Today marks my first post. I would like to introduce myself first before getting into the details of what you’ll be expecting from this blog. I am Khristine, a 28 year old wife, a vegetarian and a yoga asana instructor.
I’ve been practicing yoga for more than 15 years now with the support of my loving husband. And when I say “yoga”, I don’t just mean the exercise but the whole lifestyle. It has tremendously helped me in a lot of ways- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Not only do I practice it, but I teach it as well. I conduct lifestyle classes in different schools, villages and offices in our city and do outreach programs on the side too. Yes, it has altered my whole perception in life and I am eternally grateful to my teacher for that.
I find joy in the simplest of things. I love to garden because I find that gardening gives me that feeling of achievement each time I harvest the fruits of my labor. Believe me when I tell you that there’s nothing more rewarding than to be able to harvest fresh, organic produce straight from your own backyard and turn it into something spectacular.
It is in my kitchen that brings out the creativeness in me. I love experimenting on different flavors and textures and sharing it with my loved ones. My passion for cooking has always been there since I was a little girl and has grown even more as I aged. I guess that’s because I grew up in a family where everything was made from scratch with love and ordering take-outs wasn’t an option. Plus, home cooked meals are much better, cheaper and healthier than fast food.
I am also thankful to have met my friend Esther, who is the founder of EdenNuts. Because she is passionate about natural and raw food, she imports a whole line of raw nut and seed butters to the country that are not only good but are good for you! A tablespoon of these miracle foods can help boost your immune system, improves digestion and elimination and protects you from diseases.
Now, how do they keep their butters raw? The Jerusalem Sesame Products Corporation founded by Rogen Berman, a scientist and mechanical engineer, invented a unique patented mill exclusive to EdeNuts. The machines peels the thin, brown inner skin from almonds, cleans the sesame seeds and grinds it without the use of any heat or chemicals, thus retaining all the nutritional properties of the nuts and seeds. They pride themselves in distributing nothing but superior quality and nutritional products that you deserve.
In this blog, you will be taken into an exciting journey to good health and well-being. Recipes, health tips and almost anything under the sun will be shared with you whole-heartedly, from our home to yours.
Come and join us live a fuller and healthier life!
The Kremlin's own human rights council has said there was evidence suggesting Magnitsky, 37, was beaten to death. Yet Putin has dismissed allegations of torture or foul play and told the nation last year that he died of heart failure.
Hence the prevalence of what has come to be derisively known as the "Green Lantern Theory of Presidential Power" – named for the DC Comics character whose powers derive from his strength of will – which states that President Obama ought to be able to get his agenda passed through an intractable opposition by sheer force of will and an exercise of "leadership." Obama used a slightly different formulation back in the spring when he chided reporters that he couldn't perform a "Jedi mind meld" on Republicans to get them to support his ideas. The problem with the Green Lantern theory is that it ignores the reality of a determined Republican opposition that controls the House and is both capable of keeping the Senate in a state of gridlock and willing to do so. Even great leadership requires some level of followership.

Let’s reflect. Obamacare was passed behind closed doors against the will of the majority of Americans. The bill was never posted as promised by Obama. The estimate has been revised to almost double the original estimate. They have had 3 years to set up the system and now have to delay parts of it. The SC shot down parts of it. Americans still want to repeal or replace it. The author calls it a trainwreck. The unions say it will break the back of middle class. I just can’t understand why the only people on board with Obamacare stand to get some sort of government handout. (sarcasm)

Youâd think it couldnât get worse than being called a âjackassâ by the President, but Kanye has only gotten more abrasive since hooking up with Kim in April 2012. The new dad to baby North West keeps showing off his no-sense-of-humor, no-question-taking, always-grumpy demeanor, and for some reason has taken to wearing a kilt. He recently tussled with a paparazzo and nearly got knocked out when he walked into a street sign with Kim at his side.

Said Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, âUrbanization has the greatest potential for boosting domestic demand.â He claims urban residents in China spent 3.6 times as much as their rural peers in 2010.

God will judge among us. As for those ignorant enough who blame the religion for war, before you begin, let them look at their books first. Every Muslim knows that killing any innocent human being or any living creature, is an eternal aggression to life and an offense to hell in the holy Qur’an revellation from God, but they still do it. People are people, forgetful and foolish under the wrong circumstances. Any excuse can give people incentive to separate and then kill eachother. WWI; 20 million killed eachother, the 2nd; 60 million, in the most horrifying ways.. No religion involved. . total; 80 million in 8 years. Hiroshima, Nagasaki; almost half a million direct deaths, more than a million in th aftermath, religion? no. The Japanese massacred Millions of Chinese before.

Today, nobody knows, everyone has nuclear capabilities, especially those who used it before to prove carbon based muscles.

Itâs not as if the hubbub over Anthony potentially leaving New York and any of his comments will prevent the Knicks from winning the title. Theyâve got too many holes to play into June. But this was another example of how Anthony isnât wired like James. He is consumed with the idea of becoming a free agent so that he can be âevaluatedâ â as if coaches and GMs donât already know after 10 NBA seasons and a lot of playoff heartache what he can and can't do.
At the heart of the tattoo are the massed pipes and drums and bands of Britain's own regiments, with a swirl of color and spine tingling music. About 1,000 performers take part in the tattoo as fighter jets streak across the sky above the castle for an event which was first staged in 1950.

- "A debit card is safer than a credit card." That's only true if "safer" is code for "will protect you from yourself if you're profligate." If you have the discipline to charge only what you can afford to pay off, you can't beat a credit card. You'll get incentives like cash rewards. If the number gets stolen, your issuer will make you whole. If you lose control of your debit card, your bank is probably going to make you whole, too, but your checking account could be a mess for a while. And you aren't going to hit overdraft fees with a credit card.

More to the point, Scholes, he maintains, was the stand-out player of his generation, the best English midfielder since Bobby Charlton.

We had picked this hillside location, beneath the Taygetos mountains, in our bid for some authenticity. In the village of Megali Mantineia, not much had changed in centuries and most people kept goats and worked their olive orchards. Few locals spoke English, which meant that I could work on my rusty language skills, and my partner Jim could grapple with beginner's Greek. Most villagers didn't have a clue where Scotland was and struggled with England, too, and I had to resort many times to drawing European maps on dirt roads.

I thought it bizarre to blame Reeve for telling it as it is. It’s fair to say the gloss had worn off the jewel in the Gold Coast’s crown long before he put in his two pennies worth.
The archival footage is rich. The interviews â with Jerry Lewis, Sid Caesar, Jackie Mason, Mort Sahl, Jerry Stiller and others â are saucy and spirited, and the history is terrific.

For close to a decade, the NTSB has been calling for the FAA to study whether it should require airlines and jet manufacturers to install cockpit systems to warn pilots when they are going too slowly, even before they are in immediate danger of stalling.

The 777 is equipped with a low-speed warning tone, but it does not feature a spoken alert. By the time a stall warning known as a "stick shaker" activated on the Asiana flight, the pilots were unable to abort the landing.

The best case scenario, here, is that a bunch of people who can afford to lose some money end up doing just that.

I've spent almost my entire career as a journalist covering tech in and around Silicon Valley, meeting entrepreneurs, executives and engineers, watching companies rise and fall (or in the case of Apple, rise, fall and rise again) and attending confabs and conferences. Before joining Forbes in February 2012, I had a very brief stint in corporate communications at HP (on purpose) and worked for more than six years on the tech team at Bloomberg News, where I dived into the financial side of tech. Before that, I was Silicon Valley bureau chief for Interactive Week, a contributor to Wired and Upside, and a reporter and news editor for MacWeek. The first computer game I ever played was Zork, my collection of now-vintage tech T-shirts includes a tie-dye BMUG classic and a HyperCard shirt featuring a dog and fire hydrant. When I can work at home, I settle into the black Herman Miller Aeron chair that I picked up when NeXT closed its doors. You can email me at cguglielmo@forbes.com.

“Yeah, man, it was crazy,” he said, fussing with some controls. “Basically, after first selling the company, I had some liquid capital and I wanted to just play in that space as an angel investor”—a private individual who invests in companies, as opposed to a venture-capital firm investing vast sums from a fund. “I had friends who were raising rounds for their companies. They were all awesome—like, literally, I could totally see these guys being millionaires soon. Some of them already are!” He laughed; then his eyebrows knitted, and his voice shifted to business mode. He started consulting, he said, “working for people part time for equity, sometimes for cash as well. I had domain expertise around the early stages.”

The female workers were mostly middle-aged, and they came to work here with their husbands or their friends from home. When they were younger, they had to stay at home to raise children themselves as their husbands were away working in cities. After the children grew to a certain age, they realized they could still go out and make more money. However, at their age, it was difficult to find jobs as waitresses or factory workers. Plus, some of them were worried about their husbands after long separations. Therefore, they ended up at construction sites, doing âlight workâ such as transporting sand, painting and cleaning, as they donât have the expertise to do skilled work. Their salaries were the lowest in the industry (about 13-21 USD per day), only 50â70% of their male counterparts.
While the Assad regime has a murderous record on human rights going back four decades, some of the Sunni rebel groups opposing him have committed enough atrocities to suggest they would have as bad or worse a record should they take power. Even more worrisome is that some of the jihadist rebel groups are openly associated with al-Qaida, which should give policymakers pause. A military victory by the best organized and most effective Sunni rebel militias will not bring a modern day Syrian version of George Washington to power, as there is no unifying national figure in a divided country. And it may bring the opposite. Historically, the United States government has not been particularly adept at choosing the right rebel leaders in civil wars, helping them take power and then ensuring they govern well.

Teller, who evokes a young Tom Hanks or John Cusack, makes Sutter a guy whoâs shocked no one takes him seriously, when heâs the one who sets the tone.

It's a game of mental survival and physical conditioning against this Eagles âO'. And the greatest concern for the Giants will be - and has been - their ability to handle Philly's pace. Much like Peyton's Broncos, the Eagles hustle to the line whenever possible, but unlike Eli's big bro, there are few checks at the line. Michael Vick already has a quick playcall from the sideline, so he snaps the ball early in the clock. That's why the Eagles rank 11th in the league with 67 plays per game but dead last in time of possession.

According to the political correspondents, Lynton Crosby, who was hired just over six months ago by the Prime Minister as strategic consultant, is the sole author of the Government’s resurrection. I have got nothing against Mr Crosby and for all I know he does indeed possess some of the magical properties credited to him by the experts at Westminster.
