Serena Miller's Fearless Hope ~ Reviewed
Fearless Hope: A Novel Paperback
by Serena B. Miller (Author)
Publisher: Howard Books (April 8, 2014)
When an Amish woman falls for the New York crime writer who buys her family farm, she must decide whether to follow the longings of her heart or the rules of her faith.
When Hope Yoder loses her husband, she is left trying to support her two small children—and one on the way—however she can. She ends up taking a job as a part-time housekeeper for the Englisch man who has bought the farm that once belonged to her family.
Logan Parker is a bestselling crime fiction writer from New York City who accompanies his fiancée on a trip to Holmes County, Ohio, but the trip takes a strange turn when he sees an Amish farmhouse for sale. Intrigued by a strong sense of familiarity, he enters the house and is overcome with a feeling of deep peace. He's never been to Ohio before, but something in this house feels right, and he purchases the farm to use as a retreat. Something about the peacefulness of the house frees him from the crippling writer's block that threatens to ruin his career, and something about the quiet Amish woman who comes to clean his home makes him less and less excited about returning to New York and the woman he is supposed to marry.
Slowly, Logan and Hope are drawn together, and when they discover that they share a strange past, they must decide how that affects their future. Will Hope overcome her fear of embracing love again?
Fearless Hope tells us about a young Amish woman named Hope Yoder. Her husband is tragically killed by a bull, leaving her with two young children and one on the way. Not wanting to take Alms from the community, she puts out an advertisement as a housekeeper. Meanwhile, Logan Parker, a bestselling fiction writer from New York, is going through a dry spell, and after a visit in Holmes County, buys a home that used to belong to Hope's family, hoping to find rest from the hustle and bustle of New York, and hopefully to overcome the writer's block he has been experiencing. After a chance meeting, he hires her as his housekeeper, and they settle into a routine. Obviously, they begin to develop feelings for each other. Even more strangely, Logan keeps having a sense of deja vu, on top of a strange sense of peace, like he's been to this community before. As they begin to grow closer, pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place, revealing secrets that have been kept from Logan for most of his life.
I had a hard time putting this book down. I believe it was part of a series, and I had not read the previous books, however, that didn't make it difficult to get into this story. At times, I would get caught up in the everyday parts of the story and forget that there was an underlying mystery to be solved and that would pique my interest anew each time. I really enjoyed this book and how it ended, and the tone of forgiveness by the people in it.

The Secret of Pembrooke Park
By Julie Klassen
Bethany 2014
Abigail Foster fears she will end up a spinster, especially as she has little dowry to improve her charms and the one man she thought might marry her--a longtime friend--has fallen for her younger, prettier sister.
When financial problems force her family to sell their London home, a strange solicitor arrives with an astounding offer: the use of a distant manor house abandoned for eighteen years. The Fosters journey to imposing Pembrooke Park and are startled to find it entombed as it was abruptly left: tea cups encrusted with dry tea, moth-eaten clothes in wardrobes, a doll's house left mid-play . . .
The handsome local curate welcomes them, but though he and his family seem to know something about the manor's past, the only information they offer Abigail is a warning: Beware trespassers who may be drawn by rumors that Pembrooke contains a secret room filled with treasure.
Hoping to improve her family's financial situation, Abigail surreptitiously searches for the hidden room, but the arrival of anonymous letters addressed to her, with clues about the room and the past, bring discoveries even more startling. As secrets come to light, will Abigail find the treasure and love she seeks...or very real danger?
Warning: stock your freezer with frozen pizzas because you won't be feeding your family until you've finished this book.
THE SECRET OF PEMBROOKE PARK is by far the finest to date of author Julie Klassen's novels. Danger. Love. Intrigue. A mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. You'll find all the ingredients of a historical romance with a gothic flair in this latest release.
Heroine Abigail Foster struggles with feelings of self-worth, magnified by her younger sister's beauty. When an opportunity presents itself for her to depart from family for awhile and prepare a country home for their residence, she jumps on it. In the process, she discovers a house full of mystery. . . and a very handsome curate to help the solve the puzzle.
William Chapman is everything a hero should be. Compassionate. Trustworthy. Big biceps. More than that, though, he truly cares about the souls of his parish, Abigail's included.
Which makes it even harder for Abigail to choose when the former love of her life shows up. Don't worry. I won't give anything away. You'll have to wonder like I did until nearly the end of the story.
PEMBROOKE PARK is a fantastic tale, sure to make you drop all your responsibilities and hole up on the couch for a few days. Plan ahead and have plenty of tea and scones available, because seriously, you will NOT put this one down.

Letters from Grace (Love and War Book 1)
Rachel Mullel
Page Numbers Source ISBN: 1500847089
Is loving a man in uniform worth the risk?
Scarred from the death of her fiancé in World War II, Grace Campbell must learn to love again. Lieutenant Luke Brady could make falling in love easy...except he's going to war. There's one thing that can keep a thread tied between them--letters. But the suave Dr. William Keller enchants Grace with his charm and proposes marriage. She must choose between them. Will she settle for comfort and safety or risk losing everything on the Normandy beaches?
As World War Two comes to its climax, two people discover the meaning of loving and letting go during a time when far too many hearts were broken by the ravages of war.
World War Two continues to fascinate historians and readers alike for a plethora of reasons. People love hearing about the triumphs of those who were a part of the Greatest Generation. The drama, romance, and bravery of those who fought for freedom across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are compelling on their own…bring in a talented author whose sincere love of the time period shines through the pages and the stories just come to life.
Debut author Rachel Muller has been obsessed with World War Two since she was a teenager. Her love for this period is obvious in the multiple stories that make up Letters from Grace; her exquisite writing and attention to detail accentuate the gift she has for combing her passion with her talent. Letters from Grace is a novel that all readers will enjoy—World War Two aficionado or otherwise—because Muller knows how to pen a tale with exciting storylines and believable characters that bring the Greatest Generation to life.
Luke and Grace are in their twenties when World War Two begins—young enough to feel the excitement of love but old enough to know the heartbreak of war and death. Both of Muller's protagonists fear the pain of opening up their hearts to love after they experience devastating losses in the early 1940s. Grace struggles to move past her loss and never loses her faith in God, despite a rapidly changing future with no concrete answers. Luke, meanwhile, falls prey to the pull of darkness and gives up all hope that his loving God has a plan for him. Grace and Luke's friendship develops over the series of letters that helps keep him sane as he prepares for the crucial battle in the war—a battle that could bring freedom to many people but also the risk of death, injury, and more broken hearts. Months and many letters later, Grace and Luke have to decide if they will put their potential relationship in the hands of God or leave fate—and one disastrous war—to decide the future for them.
Readers of World War Two fiction have numerous extraordinary authors to choose from for their chosen genre of books. Sarah Sundin, Tricia Goyer, Cara Putnam, and Kristina McMorris all have penned tales of love, loss, and war during the 1940s. Some potential authors could be intimidated by the success rate of these authors—how could a new author begin to compete with these ladies' novels? Not Rachel Muller! She's written a story just as beautiful and compelling as any other author of World War Two fiction has come out and, if the early posted five-star reviews are any indication, she will rapidly join the ranks of her contemporaries.
Letters from Grace is told from third-person point-of-view that alternates primarily between Grace and Luke but occasionally brings in their two best friends, Maggie and Danny. These alterations allow readers to experience the war and home-front from many angles. Each character is lively and fully developed in ways that challenge readers to understand the perspectives of the various people who fought at home and across the seas. Grace, devoted to her work at the Ladies and Liberty and grieving for love; Maggie, cheerful and driven to bring God to sick and wounded soldiers on the front lines; Luke, lost over his absent family and finding solace in the Army; and Danny, love-stricken and determined to come home from the war a hero. Each storyline brings to life different struggles that were unique to the Greatest Generation; however, the emotions that Muller shows from her characters are so well written that the happiness, sadness, and desperation are easily felt when reading Letters from Grace. I found the friendship between Luke and Danny and Maggie and Grace honest and open. The love these characters had for each other and showed to those around them exquisitely exemplifies why those who lived during World War Two are known as the Greatest Generation.
An avid reader of World War Two historicals, I jumped at the chance to review Letters from Grace because I never pass an opportunity to read another story set in my favorite time period. As a bonus to my already excited disposition at finding this new novel, I knew that if authors Sarah Sundin and Cara Putnam were assisting Muller with her book that Letters from Grace was bound to be an excellent story. My assumption was correct—a five-star novel from a debut author, readers of World War Two fiction will have a new favorite author to add to the already stellar collection of those who tell stories of the Greatest Generation. From the gorgeous cover, to the thick binding and paper, to the historical details and symbolism front and back, Letters from Grace is just as beautiful on the outside and its story comprises the inside. This novel is one to keep on your shelves for re-reading and display purposes. It is in all truth that I say I looked immediately to the back of the back for information on future novels from Muller. Without even reading the story, I smiled widely upon finding the release date for Maggie's Mission. January 2015 can't come soon enough!

An Insider's Guide to Spiritual Warfare
Kristine McGuire
Publisher: Chosen Books (October 7, 2014)
Having spent years as a medium, witch and ghost hunter before reclaiming her identity in Christ, Kristine McGuire has been on both sides of the battle lines. In her new book, An Insider's Guide to Spiritual Warfare, she offers unique insight, revealing Satan's 7 favorite battlefields (such as fear and gossip) as well as the most effective tactics he employs in the battles we face every day.
McGuire also shares 30 battle-tested strategies for victory based on her firsthand experience with the occult and the paranormal. Some of the topics she covers include:
• how to walk in God's authority
• using spiritual armor
• how to recognize and avoid the influence of the occult in our culture
• whether the Bible supports the existence of ghosts
I have made a whole lot of mistakes in my life. I really don't like learning things the hard way. So, it's always refreshing to be able to learn from someone else's journey.
Enter Kristine McGuire. McGuire spent years immersed in the Occult and even transitioned herself into a unique blend of Christianity and witchcraft. God actually opened her eyes to the choice she needed to make between Him and evil while she was knee deep in ghost hunting.
McGuire even has toxic legalism in her background as well so she has spent time in the religious realm, darkness and now has a deep understanding of grace.
An Insider's Guide to Spiritual Warfare includes a grace-filled approach to spiritual warfare. There is a lack of fear, terror and looking for a demon in every bush and an abundance of truth. The biggest element of truth running throughout the handbook is the reality that living in Christ is the answer. However, there are so many details that McGuire gleaned from her journey that paints a picture of what that might look like in various situations. From things that permeate our culture that are open doors into evil, to our provided spiritual armor, to the destructive attitudes that are open doors for self and demonic deception.
With questions for self-assessment and consideration at the end of each chapter and plenty of help on handling different scenarios, I think this would be a terrific book for independent or group study. Overall, even though McGuire shares some detail of her dabbling the overall glorification is of God and His power and character. A curious teen should probably have a parent or another trusted adult go over the study and details of the book with them.

Gina Holmes's Driftwood Tides ~ Reviewed
Driftwood Tides
by Gina Holmes
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. (August 15, 2014)
He made himself an island until something unexpected washed ashore.
When Holton lost his wife, Adele, in a freak accident, he shut himself off from the world, living a life of seclusion, making drifwood sculptures and drowning his pain in gin. Until twenty-three-year-old Libby knocks on his door, asking for a job and claiming to be a friend of his late wife. When he discovers Libby is actually his late wife's illegitimate daughter, given up for adoption without his knowledge, his life is turned upside down as he struggles to accept that the wife he'd given saint status to was not the woman he thought he knew.
Together Holton and Libby form an unlikely bond as the two struggle to learn the identity of Libby's father and the truth about Adele, themselves, and each other.
Gina Holmes has produced her best novel yet. I love escaping into fiction where the author's voice enhances the story but doesn't intrude. Holmes has done this with Driftwood Tides. I didn't think about her previous books and compare. I was pulled into the story of a young woman who discovers a shocking secret and who's life gets turned upside down.
Holmes tackles heavy subjects and produces deep characters. Her debut was a woman coming home to die and to find a family for her daughter. Her second novel was about the destruction and tentative rebuilding of a marriage, her third domestic violence. So, those who prefer inspirational escapism aren't likely to find Gina Holmes an easy author to read. But for those who want reality, even ugly, and to see the ever hopeful evidence of God's character find so much to love in Holmes's novels.
Driftwood Tides dives deeply into human dysfunction and deception. The characters have chosen so many unhealthy different ways of coping with life's disappointments. But hope wins. If you have loved any of Gina Holmes previous work you should love Driftwood Tides.

Stephanie Fowers's Jane and Austen ~ Reviewed
Jane and Austen
By Stephanie Fowers
Triad Media and Entertainment
Meet Jane and Austen. First there's Jane - an impractical, starry-eyed wedding planner; if love can't match what she's read in a book, she doesn't want it. And then there's Austen - a pragmatic, logical-to-a-fault financial consultant; even if he were interested in someone, he wouldn't know.
The two have one thing in common: they can't leave each other alone. Jane believes that if Austen could just experience a fairy tale romance, he would secretly love it. And Austen's pretty sure thats if one of Jane's beloved heroes escaped from the pages of her dog-eared novels, she'd run and hide.
Both are about to be proven right.
When the rivals are called on to help a friend plan the biggest wedding of the year, an entire resort full of colorful wedding guests descends upon them -- many sharing uncanny similarities to characters in a Jane Austen novel. It doesn't take long before Jane gets everything she thinks she wants. After all, too much of a good thing can't be all that bad, right?
But when Jane's life turns upside down, the only one she can turn to is Austen; though he's got his own troubles of the heart . . . and she's afraid he's enjoying them more than he should.
Light-hearted. Somewhat cheesy. Super fun. Any of these descriptions make your heart beat faster? If so, check out Jane and Austen.
The story centers around Jane, an event coordinator at North Abbey (yeah, a total play on Northanger Abbey). Her boss is getting married to a Brit and it's quite the huge event, with guests bearing names and attributes to most of Jane Austen's beloved characters.
Jane is easy to love, though sometimes I did want to slap her. Mostly, though, I wanted to slap Austen, who spends most of the first half of the book being an idiot. Don't worry. He comes to his senses later on.
Jane and Austen is a quirky play on Jane Austen's works. If you're a purist, it will probably annoy you, but if not, you're going to love this fun little love story.

Publisher Tyndale House Publishers
Series Ellis, Island
The year is 1901, the literary sensation "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" is taking New York City by storm, and everyone wonders where the next great book will come from. But to Annie Gallagher, stories are more than entertainment--they're a sweet reminder of her storyteller father. After his death, Annie fled Ireland for the land of dreams, finding work at Hawkins House.But when a fellow boarder with something to hide is accused of misconduct and authorities threaten to shut down the boardinghouse, Annie fears she may lose her new friends, her housekeeping job . . . and her means of funding her dream: a memorial library to honor her father. Furthermore, the friendly postman shows a little too much interest in Annie--and in her father's unpublished stories. In fact, he suspects these tales may hold a grand secret.Though the postman's intentions seem pure, Annie wants to share her father's stories on her own terms. Determined to prove herself, Annie must forge her own path to aid her friend and create the future she's always envisioned . . . where dreams really do come true.
Annie's Stories tells us about Annie Gallagher in the time when The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was beginning to take the nation by storm. She is a recent immigrant from Ireland. She was raised by her father, but when he died suddenly, she found herself forced into a woman's asylum by her uncle, who did not want her. She is rescued by a priest, who sends her to America to live with his sister in a boarding house, where Annie earns her keep working for her board. Her belief God has long since passed due to the trials she's endured, but she finds comfort in The Wizard of Oz, as it reminds her of her storytelling father. She has some of her father's stories that he used to tell her written down, and as she begins to share them, people begin to get interested. When the stories disappear, she fears they have fallen in the wrong hands.
Annie has such a hard time trusting people, and most of all, God, due to what she's been through. So much so that she can't see the caring people that are right in front of her face. She has an ideal in her head of what love and home are and can't seem to get past that. But it's fun to see her start to open up. She's such a lovely character. This story was a lot better than I expected it to be when I first read the synopsis. I was pleasantly surprised.

Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good: The New Mitford Novel
By Jan Karon
Release Date Sep 2, 2014
Publisher Penguin Group USA
Series Mitford Years
After five hectic years of retirement from Lord's Chapel, Father Tim Kavanaugh returns with his wife, Cynthia from a so-called pleasure trip to the land of his Irish ancestors. While he is glad to be a t home in Mitford, something is definitely missing: a pulpit. But when he's offered one, he decides he doesn't want it. Maybe he lost his passion. His adopted son, Dooley, wrestles with his own passion--for the beautiful and gifted Lace Turner--and his vision to become a successful country vet. Dooley's brother Sammy, still enraged by his mother's abandonment, destroys one of Father Tim's prized possessions. And Hope Murphy, owner of Happy Endings Bookstore, struggles with the potential loss of her unborn child and her hard-won business.
Father Tim is back! Those who have visited Mitford before will be excited. It has been a long time since Father Tim was in Mitford. I love the Mitford series by Jan Karon (10 novels published between 1994 and 2014 with two other novels called the Father Tim novels)! Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good (don't you love the title) is the first book published in the Mitford series since 2005. I love the Mitford Series for many reasons but the main reason is the town and the people are so real to me. I know that Mitford exists somewhere and that Father Tim and Cynthia must be real people. I feel like I know all the people in Mitford. Jan Karon is a master at creating believable characters and at creating many characters who each have distinct personalities. Another thing I love about Mitford is it is a place where people care about each other and where God's wisdom is shared openly. There are always both laughter and tears in these novels. If you have read the series before and loved them or even just liked them, you will love this new one. The author manages to pay homage to all the characters and stories in the series without it feeling like a review or a summary. But if you have never read any of the books and there is any chance at all you will read them, I strongly encourage you to read the books in order. If you are a reader who has no intention of reading any of the other novels, I do believe you would still enjoy this book just not on the same level as someone who is familiar with the characters, the inside jokes and all the nuances of the relationships. If this were the first book I read, there would be a lot of references I wouldn't understand and I probably would be a little frustrated. For me, there where times in this book where I laughed (as always) and one time in particular when I burst into tears (I won't tell you which part). I believe it is the best one of the series. I love the characters, I love the story lines and I love that Father Tim's relationship with Jesus is shown so clearly and is real not pretentious and not making him look like he is perfect. This novel (and series) is great for someone who wants to read inspirational stories about people that include all the daily challenges of life and family told with humor and truth. (If you have never read any of the books and aren't sure you want to read all ten, at least read the first book At Home in Mitford before you read this one and it will increase your enjoyment of the story.)

I believe that eating healthy and staying active is the key to a healthy lifestyle. Fad diets are not the way to go.
Diets. Most of us hate that word. When we think of the word Diet it makes it seem like we have a job or a chore to do. While losing weight can get frustrating and overwhelming you do not have to look at it as a job or chore. Just changing the way you eat can dramatically improve your chances for successful weight loss. Making the right choice when it comes to food will help you achieve your goal forever, not just for a month!
The fact is, if we know we cannot have something we want it even more. That does not only apply to food, but to most things in life. That is just the way it goes. When we are told we cannot have something, our natural response is to want it. No wonder why people have such a hard time losing weight. People always telling you what you should or should not eat can get annoying and frustrating. So I say, DO NOT DIET!
That's right. If you eat about 6 smaller meals a day you are more likely to eat better portion sizes at breakfast, lunch and dinner. This will not only help with feeling full throughout the day; it will also keep your metabolism working faster. If we starve ourselves, our body is looking for food, and when it finally finds it, it stores it as fat. If your body feels it has plenty of food, it will increase your metabolism and store less of the fat.
The quality of our food is very important. For example, if you are the type of person who loves to eat bread for instance, you do not have to stop eating bread. You just need to know what kind of bread to eat. With white bread most of the fiber is removed and it basically turns into sugar which our body stores as fat. Wheat bread on the other hand has many more nutrients and fiber helping our digestive system. Choosing wheat products and fiber filled foods will help us achieve our goals. Same thing goes for rice and cereals. The more nutritional value, and the less sugar the better.
A lot of us love soda. Soda is the worst thing you can drink. It is said that if you drink two glasses of soda a day you can gain up to 24 lbs per year. That is a lot of weight. Drinking diet soda is also not a good choice. There have been a lot of noted negative side effects with artificial sweeteners which can actually cause weight gain as well.
Your best choice is water of course. 8 eight ounce glasses a day is the average water intake a person should consume. What other drinks can you have?
If you love chocolate do not think you have to give it up completely. Anything in moderation is okay. Actually if you are craving something sweet, you are better off satisfying that craving otherwise you risk over eating later on.
There are so many satisfying snacks you can choose over ice cream and chocolate cake. Get a little creative and find recipes for great fruit and or veggie snacks and desserts. Eat nuts or fruit smoothies. There is a great variety of frozen yogurts and frozen fruit snacks that are a much better option than your traditional desserts. Pretzels, low calorie snack packs, cheese, yogurt, low fat pudding, peanut butter and oatmeal cookies are more examples of things you can eat throughout the day to keep you satisfied and to keep you full.
Again there are so many different snacks to choose from. The main goal here is not to grab a sugar glazed donut or a big piece of chocolate cake followed by a 20 oz bottle of Coke. Make healthy choices.
What is your biggest junk food weakness?
If you eat out often, you are probably eating a wide variety of fast foods that are terrible for you. You should try to cut down on the amount of times per week you eat out, but if you decide to eat out you can find places with healthier choices.
Subway has a variety of sandwiches that are a lot less fattening then a Big Mac. Ask for light Mayo or use mustard, use their honey oat or wheat bread.
If you are going to get fast food, do not super size it.
Taking natural nutritional supplements can also help us to loose weight. Sometimes our bodies lack essential vitamins and nutrients that we need to have a healthy body. There are a wide variety of natural supplements that will give your body just what it is looking for. I am not really for diet pills. Especially diet pills with unnatural ingredients. I believe that they are not the best for our bodies, but of course the choice is yours. Consult with your health care provider to find out what natural supplements may be best for you.
I know I love bacon, eggs and toast on the weekend. Most of us do. Eating three or four eggs a week is OK, and if you remove the yolk you can eat even more. When I choose bacon, I buy turkey bacon. While eating a pound of any kind of bacon is not good for you, eating a couple of slices of turkey bacon a week is fine. Be sure to look at the labels when you buy it though. Some turkey bacon is better than others. Choose whole wheat bread for your toast. Start buying smart balance butter or some other kind of light butter. Drink a glass of juice.
I love sandwiches. I love mayo. The mayo I use is Kraft Mayo with olive oil. Reduced fat. It has half the fat and calories of regular mayo and I cannot taste the difference. There are plenty of low fat and low calorie Mayo's to choose from. Sliced turkey breast, chicken breast and ham are good choices. Tuna or egg salad are good as well. Eat it on whole grain bread, add a pickle and some baked or veggie chips on the side and you are good to go. By the way, I love veggie chips. If you have never tried them, you should.
I love chicken. I can eat chicken every night. The key here is not to bread it and then deep fry it. You can bake it, grill it or boil it. Or you can try what I do. I put a little bit of olive oil, a very thin later, on the bottom of the pan. I let it get hot and add my onions and garlic. You want them to get brown. I put the chicken in a bowl and flavor it with all types of different seasonings. What seasonings you use is up to you. Just try to avoid a lot of salt. I then add some vinegar and water to the chicken and mix it all around. After the onions and garlic are done browning, I add the chicken with the water and vinegar to the pan. I then cover it and reduce the heat turning occasionally until all the water is absorbed. The chicken comes out with great flavor, and you did not use much oil. On the side I would choose a vegetable and brown rice or whole wheat pasta.
You can find a healthy alternative to almost any food. You just have to look.
I have given you just a few examples of what we can do to change the way we eat. Starving our bodies or depriving it of things we love will make it much harder to loose the weight and keep it off. You no longer have to be on a diet. Just make good choices.
Exercise and being active is also very important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Again, you do not have to over do it by going to the gym 5 nights a week for 2 hours, but becoming active will assist you in your weight loss goals.
Information is based on healthy people who do not have any other health conditions. If you have a health condition, you should always follow your doctor's or nutritionists nutritional plan. Athletes and people who work out extensively might also have different nutritional needs.
I just wanted to point out, that Dr fuhrmans eat to live and eat for health books all discourage snacking between meals. Because when you body is done digesting that is when it is using the nutrients and minerals to detox. If you turn around and put food in digestion begins again and detox is stopped.
This is good advice. I drink too much diet coke and need to give it up!
You can eat and same time losing your body fat!! .... The secret is fat burning foods.
Here's an idea....Instead of eating out, try a meal delivery service.
I think you overdid it thistime. this is a great post and I wonder how long it must have taken you to put it together.
I love the part about what to eat at breakfast and lunch etc. Not just saying what to do but also how to do it.
Hi Annmeadows, thank you very much!
I voted it up too. Jenn, you and I think alike. I am enjoying your articles, hope to read more soon.
Super hub and sound advice.
Thanks Donna. You are right, there are so many diets out there. Who knows whats really right? If you choose food that is healthy, then you cant go wrong.
Very good advice. I'm sure most people, like myself, are baffled by the variety of diet options. I particularly liked your "Do not diet" advice, I love how you mentioned that we don't like to be told what to do! I voted it up.
Thank you fuscia for your comment!
Thanks samboiam. I am very happy that this will be beneficial to you.
I am in need of dropping a lot of weight. This hub will be very beneficial to me. I have bookmarked it so I can use it as a guideline.
Thank you so much MaryRenee!
Very useful info. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you MMMoney. We should not have to kill ourselves trying to be healthy. It is all about what we eat!

Conspiracy: 8 Far-Fetched Theories That Turned Out To Be True
CIA HEART ATTACK GUN
Mary Embree, who began her career in the CIA as a secretary in the Audio-Surveillance Divison before being promoted to the Technical Services department, says she was asked to research a poison that would induce a heart attack in its victim but would be undetectable in a post-mortem. Embree's research led to the development of a top-secret weapon known as the "heart-attack gun."
It involved the freezing of shellfish toxin mixed with water to form a frozen dart which would then be fired from the heart-attack gun. Once inside the body, the poison would then dissolve into the person's bloodstream and cause a heart attack.
In 1975 CIA Director William Colby presented the weapon at a Church Committee hearing, cha… Continue Reading (1 minute read)

Helen Frankenthaler, Joel Shapiro, 20th-Century Sculpture
by David Cohen
"Frankenthaler: New Paintings"
Knoedler & Company until July 18
"Joel Shapiro: Recent Sculpture"
PaceWildenstein until July 31
"20th-Century Sculpture"
Acquavella Galleries until May 22
18 East 79 Street, at Madison,
Someday it will have to be explained why the most vaunted exponents of modernism in the 1960s spent their senior years chasing a romantic muse. Jules Olitski, Anthony Caro, and Helen Frankenthaler have all noticeably gone this route.
Ms. Frankenthaler, whose show of 10 new paintings opened last week at Knoedler & Company, began her career at the cutting edge of abstraction. She was a crucial transitional figure between Jackson Pollock and the "post-painterly" generation. Just as Caro and Olitski, who were famous for cool, sparse abstraction, traded their hallmark styles, respectively, for expressive figures and sublime landscapes, so Frankenthaler, in her new work, succumbs to an urge to depict.
Helen Frankenthaler, Yoruba, 2002 acrylic on paper, 40½ x 60½ inches courtesy Knoedler & Company
These paintings, on paper and canvas, are sumptuous, absorbing, and masterful, but you have to pinch yourself to remember that she was once an artist pushing the boundaries of the language of painting. If these pictures were a tenth of their size and admitted fractionally more narrative incident they could be taken for the work of a Victorian. Her "Yoruba" could sit besides a William Trost Richards of the 1870s.
Ms. Frankenthaler actually came out of landscape. Her poured and stained gestural paintings of the mid- to late-1950s – the seminal "Mountain and Sea," for instance – often took landscape as their starting point. But now the references to nature are literal and overt, with horizons and promontories. "Bacchus" (2002) is almost a Caspar David Friedrich redone in a funkier palette. What a palette, mind you: The purples of this moody nocturne glow and brood simultaneously. She achieves extraordinary effects of depth and airiness through audacious layering of her acrylic paint.
It is somehow touching that this veteran abstractionist should reverse historic due process, turning "inscapes" back into landscapes. By so doing she reconnects with Old Master painting, and emphatically disconnects with minimalism. But it is telling that the most beautiful painting in the show, "Warming Trend," is also the least legible (more Turner than Whistler). The painting fluctuates at different distances from blues and violets to turquoise, purple, and mauve. In more than one sense, it is phenonemal.
Joel Shapiro, Untitled, 2002 wood, 10-1/12 x 64¾ x 25 inches courtesy PaceWildenstein
In many ways an old-fashioned constructivist, Joel Shapiro's career reveals a sly ability to run with Modernist hares while hunting with Minimalist hounds. By adopting motifs like little houses, chairs, and stick figures, he tweaked life back into Minimalism's ponderous forms. Mr. Shapiro is not Minimal art "lite" as such, but nonetheless he animated an austere movement with welcome humor.
Scale has always been a lively element in his work, a means to startle, as well as to address representation. Diminutive has more typically been his thing, with Monopoly-board houses and dollshouse chairs. Now, in a show of five new sculptures, Lilliput has conceded to Gargantua. The 21-foot ceiling of PaceWildenstein's Chelsea gallery struggles to contain the largest piece. As if to add insult to injury, the sculpture's components – bronze-cast wooden beams – rhyme inadvertently with the building's exposed I-beams.
The pieces that work best are the ones that are the least figural. And yet, ironically, "working" means conveying bodily movement and animation. This is sculpture that has internalized a sense of the body without needing to depict the body. The largest sculpture, a bronze from 2001-03, is actually not the strongest. Most of it reads literally as a stick figure, throwing back its torso and kicking out a leg, but it has a huge protuberance that doesn't reconcile to a figural interpretation. Suspiciouslynecessaryfrom a structural perspective, its comes across like the absurd crutches of a Dalí figure.
Far more sensual and satisfying is a nearby piece in wood and metal from 2002-03. Individual components can't be reduced to this limb or that, but there is an exuberant downward spring- as in a fencer's thrust or a certain kind of jive. The shiny metal hinges, and a flamboyant diversity of grains and stains in the cool wood ensure that the surface of the piece keeps pace with the liveliness of its structure.
This is an important exhibition, for Mr. Shapiro and for sculpture. Not only are there big sculptures but a big conception of what sculpture can be.
And just what conceptions there have been is recalled in a stupendous display of 20th-century sculpture at Acquavella. On two floors of his princely Upper Eastside premises, William Acquavella has brought together nearly 40 pieces, many borrowed from private collectors. Matisse is royally represented. There is a rare chance to study the five progressively (or, equally, "regressively") pared-down portraits of "Jeanette" from 1910-13, which start with a relatively benign, convincingly modelled head and culminate in a dynamic representation where the forehead and nose virtually stand out as an autonomous form.
These inevitably draw comparison with the extraordinary 1931 "Head of a Woman" by Picasso (even here, there is a mini Matisse-Picasso dialogue) where the hair and nose form themselves into a coiling limp phallus. The later sculptures downstairs feel somewhat cramped and rushed through, but upstairs there is a joyous technicolor contest between Miró and Calder, and an oxymoronic lead "Air" by Maillol.

frk's objective in relocating its office space was to create a new work environment that developed an open, interactive and creative space reflective of their work. With the firm also working through a rebranding process, the challenge was to unify a new look and a new space while upholding the firm's main objective.
The design studio space captures the main design intent as a large open area which takes full advantage of natural light. Individual workstations designed with transparent materials and minimal division foster informal interaction amongst and across project teams. Multiple conference and collaboration spaces are interspersed throughout, offering the staff with space for small or large group gatherings. Floor to ceiling glass in these areas as an alternate to full height walls provided the client with the interactive and communicative workspace desired.

Dear RealTime
I would like to thank Hamish Ford for a thoughtfully critical review of my book, The Cinema Effect (RT60, p18). There are 2 points he raises that it might be helpful to clarify.
Ford suggests that, despite Adorno, I recommend simulation as an alternative critical mode. What I failed to get across is that I fear Adorno's negative aesthetics has become the normative and hegemonic form of critical despair, precisely among simulationists like Baudrillard. What I wanted to develop was a critique that, in dialectical style, negated Adorno to propose instead a positive critique: a criticism aimed at enabling engagement in the making and viewing of film, rather than just uncovering their weakness, duplicity and inner voids. It is in this vein that I tried to argue that, far from splitting audiences into suckers who fall for the illusion and connoisseurs who revel in artifice, contemporary spectacle invites a double vision in everyone who watches them. I would go further now, and argue that these films democratise the aristocratic, supercilious gaze that Nietzsche popularised. It is a small point, but the necessity for getting beyond both the negativity of Adorno and the nihilism of Baudrillard seems to me a vital part of any 21st century critical culture.
Which is why I would also contest the description of the closing section of the book as "naïve hopefulness." Hopeful, yes, but not so much naïve as willful. The closing section of my last book was called "Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will" after Gramsci's great slogan. I believe that a teacher's ethical obligation is to retain hope, despite the undoubted horror of the contemporary world. I am currently working on a book about ecology and media, which if anything leaves even fewer grounds for cheerfulness. Nonetheless the luxury of reveling in the slough of despondency, like the Bataillean cult of cruelty and acephalic art, is not something a teacher can afford, nor, in my view, a cultural critic. Whether it is acceptable among curators and artists is a different question, and one worth raising in these pages.

INTERVIEW en anglais
1. How did you form the team for the competition?
We know each other from previous competitions, collaborations or researches. We are a multidisciplinary team operating in a non-static equipoise in-between design and research, micro-scale and landscape, progressive visions and historical references. This specific research/design attitude was a fundamental common reason for participating together at Europan. We are an international team, working and living in France, Italy, The Netherlands and Japan. Therefore online platforms were the main place for meetings, sharing comments and files.
2. How do you define the main issue of your project, and how did you answer on this session main topic: the place of productive activities within the city?
The project proposes new connections, porosities, juxtapositions and overlapping functions transforming Vorfeld into a new attractive Heart of Neu Ulm, a central pole within the existing urban constellation. New connections are social, spatial, urban, cultural and environmental. In particular the new relations between learning, production and housing are the main feature of the project for the new identity of the Heart of Neu Ulm. We interpreted the Productive City as a shift from closed to connected, from central building to central open space, from monofunctional to mixed architecture.
Masterplan of the project
Ground perspective of the project
Detailed section perspective of the buildings
3. How did this issue and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
The isolation and closure of the site, which has persisted since its military days, is abandoned by the design of new connections at different scales, enhancing the rise of complexity and multifunctional overlapping.
Playground on the site
The vacant school building & sports field
4. Have you treated this issue previously? What were the reference projects that inspired yours?
Interestingly, the main references came from positive local legacies which are present in the site. The mono-structured site of "Vorfeld" built in the 1950s is a monofunctional housing neighbourhood, which lacks variety and diversity. However, its particular urban design of American military base shows interesting resonances with the American "neighbourhood unit," where all the dwelling units are grouped sufficiently close to the central elementary school in order to allow children to walk easily and safely. The central role of education, the importance of kids and the design based on walking distance are key elements to be reinterpreted and reactivated in the new identity of "Vorfeld." Another local reference is the "Ulm School of Design" (Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm- HfG) (1953-1968) which inherited the "Bauhaus" legacy and where the learning process of furniture and graphic design was totally connected to industrial production. This mix of education and production will become a main feature of the new neighbourhood too.
5. Urban-architectural projects like the ones in Europan can only be implemented together with the actors through a negotiated process and in time. How did you consider this issue in your project?
Our project is flexible and can be transformed in several parallel proposals, since it mainly relies on a strong design of the centrality of public space, of a central void for social gathering. The project should be developed in flexible phases and always entail the participatory influence of the inhabitants and the negotiations with the actors who are involved.
6. Is it the first time you have been awarded a prize at Europan? How could this help you in your professional career?
Yes, it is the first time that we have been awarded as a team. However, Leonardo and Annalisa were awarded a runner-up prize at Europan 11, in Leeuwarden (NL).

Middle English retenue, from Old French, from feminine past participle of retenir, to retain; see retain.
Ambassadors and retinue from the Constantinopolitan King had kissed the ground before Omar and had delivered their embassage, they brought out the presents, which were fifty damsels of the choicest from Graecia-land, and fifty Mamelukes in tunics of brocade, belted with girdles of gold and silver, each wearing in his ears hoops of gold with pendants of fine pearls costing a thousand ducats every one.
The great collector and party giver Arturo Lopez-Willshaw, costumed as the emperor of China, and his wife, Patricia, disembarked with their retinue from a Chinese junk.
When Providence frowns upon them their retinue is soon dispersed and scattered from them.
In 1959 the Dalai Lama's escape from his homeland produced a myth: that he had conjured up a belt of cloud to hide his retinue from the Chinese air force.
Eventually, he and his retinue were a show unto themselves, held over in New York and London.
Jim Steinmeyer's "The Last Greatest Magician in the World"
A memorable part of his retinue is a fast-talking black cat called Behemoth, named after one of the Old Testament monsters.
He had come to accept the fact that he and his retinue were the only people left on earth.
In his retinue was a troop of comedians, a court fool, two dwarfs for luck, seven cooks, three alchemists and an astrologer.
As to politics, the will of the leader and his retinue is the rule of the Franks, and purge and bloodbath mark every stage in the rivalry of the Merovingian princes.
Among those who gave lodgings to the retinue were our good couple, who took in a lodger, for whom they were paid handsomely.


I'm sure your story was meant to get me excited but, instead, I became more and more confused as it progressed. You seem to have a problem understanding the difference between genders and the use of singular and plural pronouns.
'They' and 'their' were fine up until the time you identified your protagonist's (look it up) attacker. After your hero awakens, however, and she finds out that she is being attacked by her 'girlfriend' their and they should have become 'her' and 'she'.
You also seem to have a problem with tense and first and second person narrative; but let's leave that lesson for another time.


The openaltimeter project was started by me, Jony Hudson. I'm a keen DLG flyer, both sport and a bit of competition. I found myself dissatisfied with all of the commercially available altimeters for one reason or another. When I thought about building my own I soon realised that there was potential to integrate a lot of the electronics that goes into a DLG into one unit. It also seemed like a good opportunity to do something positive for the RC community by building some open-source RC electronics.
Quite a few months, and quite a few prototypes later, I had a unit that was working really well. Everyone who saw it loved it, so I decided it was a good idea to put a website together. I've made a few batches of openaltimeters for sale, and there are over 200 of them in the wild now. Although I've stopped making altimeters for sale due to lack of time, I'm very happy to see that others are starting to produce batches of openaltimeters to sell, and that people are starting to come up with improved hardware designs.

How Fender Is Reinventing Online Guitar Lessons For The Age Of Distraction
Fender Play is a new 4K video subscription service designed to teach guitar in bite-sized, song-based tutorials that put YouTube lessons to shame.

By John Paul Titlow 6 minute Read
No kid ever dreams of growing up and becoming a shitty guitar player. But alas, here I am. I've been obsessed with music since elementary school, but apparently the rapid-firing neurons of excitement were no match for whatever else was going on in my attention deficit disordered brain at age 10. I could never muster up the focus required to learn the acoustic guitar my mother bought me, eventually switching to drums. Still, the guitar has always tempted me.
In recent years, learning music has become a much easier, do-it-yourself affair thanks to YouTube tutorials and countless guitar lesson websites. I've certainly dabbled with these from time to time, but the quality and accuracy of the videos varies, to put it politely. Recently, I came across a new option.
Fender Play is a video subscription service designed to make learning the guitar online a more painless, digestible process. Using bite-sized, multi-angle video lessons, Fender Play puts the focus on learning popular songs, rather than bogging students down with arcane music theory up front. The idea behind the new $20-per-month service is to more quickly nudge amateurs toward the rewarding milestone of actually being able to play a familiar song. Then, the company hopes, beginners will be less likely to quit—and perhaps more likely to buy more Fender guitars and amplifiers in the future.
"About 45% of the guitars that we sell every year are bought by an absolute beginner," says Andy Mooney, CEO of the 70-year-old guitar manufacturer. "Somebody who has never touched the instrument before, 90% of those players abandon it within one year."
I completely understand why. Just as my short attention span rendered the guitar a hopeless, dust-covered endeavor in fourth grade, today we're all living distracted, busy lives. If you pick up a guitar and don't feel a sense of accomplishment within a reasonably short stretch of time, there are countless apps on your phone and binge-worthy shows on Netflix that can satisfy our brain's craving for dopamine.
To help declutter this field of abandoned rock stardom dreams, the team behind Fender Play partnered with prominent music schools in Los Angeles to design a curriculum that jibes with the way people learn in our new, partially digital lives.
"Technology has changed rapidly," says Fender's general manager of digital, Ethan Kaplan, who previously worked in tech-oriented roles at Warner Bros. Music and Live Nation. "The way that I learned piano when I was a kid is no longer the way most people learn. They sit at a computer. They sit on an iPhone. They do things in little bites versus sitting through hourlong lessons."
With the help of a committee of PhDs from schools like the Musicians Institute in Hollywood and the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California, Fender designed what it calls a "micro-learning" strategy designed to cater to modern learning styles with a research-backed, personalized pedagogy. The service, which is available on the web and iOS to start, breaks things down by song and lets the student delve into learning individual chords and various techniques as needed.
By tapping real-world music educators for help, Fender learned a few valuable lessons. "First, people want quick and digestible things," says Kaplan. "And second, rewards matter a lot. The longer you delay a reward for learning something, the less likely they're going to want to learn it."
At launch, Fender Play features songs from popular artists like the Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Tim McGraw, Coldplay, the Smashing Pumpkins, and a few dozen others across the genres of rock, country, pop, blues, and folk. Over time, they'll continually add music to the catalog, presumably as quickly as they can license the rights and film new lessons.
The tutorials themselves are shot in 4K-quality video from multiple camera angles, so you can clearly see how chords are formed and the guitar strings are strummed or struck. This is a common shortcoming of YouTube lessons. Some are better than others, but far too often the video features some guy in a basement strumming a guitar on his webcam from an angle that makes it hard to discern what he's playing—presuming he's even playing the song correctly to begin with.
"There's tons of free content out there, but it's a labyrinth to navigate through it at your own pace and get a consistent quality level," says Mooney. "We felt there was a real opportunity to upgrade the quality and help guide students through the first year of learning."
Over the last year, I've slowly ramped up my own guitar playing through a combination of YouTube videos, books of guitar tabs, and a few one-on-one lessons with a local Philadelphia guitar wizard named Chris Forsyth. As a full-time journalist (and a drummer when it comes to music), my progress has been slow, but it's progress nonetheless. Most importantly, I haven't given up this time.
I had a chance to go through a few lessons on Fender Play and learn some familiar songs. While my own musical tastes weren't thoroughly represented on the site, I found a couple of '90s throwback songs from bands like the Smashing Pumpkins and Stone Temple Pilots to learn for the fun of it. And to be sure, the quality of these videos puts most YouTube tutorials to shame in spectacular fashion.
For somebody like me who works full-time outside of music and travels frequently for work, this app-based, self-paced style of learning is more convenient than one-on-one, in-person lessons (although I still find them useful from time to time). Not only can you do it at your own pace, but you can pause and rewind as much as you like without feeling like a moron or cutting into valuable, paid-by-the-hour time of a real-life instructor. Still, for many people, the structure and routine schedule of face-to-face lessons are necessary to stay motivated. You never have to worry about letting down an app by not practicing.
"Guitars are kind of like the 70-year-old fidget spinner in a way," Kaplan says. "You always want to pick it up and it's something that you can kind of noodle on. Having instruction there anytime you want, it is really great."
In addition to songs and riffs, the service includes videos on things like strumming technique, scales, and understanding guitar tone effects like reverb and distortion. This area could stand to go into much more detail. Reverb.com, for example, publishes videos that delve into all kinds of effects pedals and break down how famous guitarists achieve their individual sound. But Fender Play's explanation of tone and effects are a decent starting point for beginners, to whom the site is primarily geared.
"We've catered to the needs of the accomplished player for seven decades, says Mooney. "We've built guitars for Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix. We never really concentrated on those 45% of players who buy a guitar for the first time every year."
For Fender, the motive to cater to these folks is clear: Even a slight improvement in that 90% abandonment stat could lead to a meaningful boost in sales of Fender guitars and amplifiers. Even a 10% increase in the number of beginners who stick with it, Mooney says, could double the size of their hardware business.
Fender Play is just the latest extension of Fender's digital strategy. In recent years, the company has launched a popular guitar tuning app for smartphones and the Mustang GT series of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled amplifiers.
"If you look 70 years back, Fender at its core was always a technology company," says Kaplan. "It may be wood and metal, but that was modern technology at one point. Before it was a guitar company, it made radios and amplifiers. This is an extension of that evolution."
The company has no plans to dial back this approach, either. Kaplan says they're currently experimenting with augmented reality tech to augment the learning process in the future, for example.
"We have to make sure we're moving to where people are going to," says Kaplan. "If AR takes off, we're definitely going to be there when it does."
In the meantime, if you need me, I've got some early '90s alt-rock radio hits to learn.

Q: Quick way to compute n-th sequence of bits of size b with k bits set? I want to develop a way to be able to represent all combinations of b bits with k bits set (equal to 1). It needs to be a way that given an index, can get quickly the binary sequence related, and the other way around too. For instance, the tradicional approach which I thought would be to generate the numbers in order, like:
For b=4 and k=2:
0- 0011
1- 0101
2- 0110
3- 1001
4-1010
5-1100
If I am given the sequence '1010', I want to be able to quickly generate the number 4 as a response, and if I give the number 4, I want to be able to quickly generate the sequence '1010'. However I can't figure out a way to do these things without having to generate all the sequences that come before (or after).
It is not necessary to generate the sequences in that order, you could do 0-1001, 1-0110, 2-0011 and so on, but there has to be no repetition between 0 and the (combination of b choose k) - 1 and all sequences have to be represented.
How would you approach this? Is there a better algorithm than the one I'm using?

A: pkpnd's suggestion is on the right track, essentially process one digit at a time and if it's a 1, count the number of options that exist below it via standard combinatorics.
nCr() can be replaced by a table precomputation requiring O(n^2) storage/time. There may be another property you can exploit to reduce the number of nCr's you need to store by leveraging the absorption property along with the standard recursive formula.
Even with 1000's of bits, that table shouldn't be intractably large. Storing the answer also shouldn't be too bad, as 2^1000 is ~300 digits. If you meant hundreds of thousands, then that would be a different question. :)
import math

def nCr(n,r):
    return math.factorial(n) //  math.factorial(r) //  math.factorial(n-r)

def get_index(value):
  b = len(value)
  k = sum(c == '1' for c in value)
  count = 0
  for digit in value:
    b -= 1
    if digit == '1':
      if b >= k:
        count += nCr(b, k)
      k -= 1
  return count

print(get_index('0011')) # 0
print(get_index('0101')) # 1
print(get_index('0110')) # 2
print(get_index('1001')) # 3
print(get_index('1010')) # 4
print(get_index('1100')) # 5

Nice question, btw.

They took the stage as the PA played with a new one, "The Requiem," a gust of ambience that suggests someone has been catching up on their Radiohead, then "Papercut," a song from "Hybrid Theory" that raps and roars like it's Y2K all over again.
And so it went for most of the night: hits and standards shuffled among a healthy serving of new material. Mike Shinoda is the band's resident MC and multi-tasker (he plays guitar and keyboards, too), and though he shares the spotlight with vocalist Chester Bennington, he comes out ahead in the charisma department. Bennington seems well served by the change in musical direction, which suits a voice that has trouble commanding an arena. The new material is steeped in ambience and electronica and though it made for some good listening (and video watching), much of it was greeted with polite recognition from an audience that was engaged all night but clearly more so during the older material. So songs like "Emty Spaces/When They Come For Me" — a rabble of hip-hop, electronica, and generic world beat music — served as setups for "No More Sorrow," a firestorm of screamcore and modern rock. Even the encore was a hybrid of old and new, including solid-gold favorites like "In The End," the Coldplay-like ballad "Shadow of the Day," "The New Divide," the band's contribution to a "Transformers" soundtrack, and "Faint," from the "Meteora" album. It gave the show a profound sense of before and after: the sounds of a band that is proud of its past but evolving steadily away from it. Saturday night, it appeared a lot of their longtime fans are willing to go along for the ride.
