WHEN YOUR HEART WANDERS

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 30 Oct 2013 05:45:00 +0000

I would like to congratulate you as you read this short piece because you are privileged to inhabit this planet which was made to aid our existence as humans and children of God the creator. Even if you doubt the existence of God, there must have been series of occurences in your life or that of your loved one(s) that points to the fact that a supreme power exists.

In the course of my interaction with individuals who find it hard to believe in the existence of God and judging by my own personal experience(as someone who has doubted as well),we humans tend to loose hope in anything/anyone we believe in whenever we do not achieve our desired results.That is pretty much why a lot of people do not reverence God who truly exists and loves us.

Believe it nor not,He created you because he loves you and because this life is in phases,every moment may not be rosy.

A well respected servant of God (Poju Oyemade) posted a short message on his Facebook page which i think addresses the doubts that we all have on our minds.If you can patiently absorb this message,you will find comfort in the fact that God cares and He does not change even when our heart wanders!!!
POJU OYEMADE :

The places in your life today that create the emotions of pain,regret or sorrow are areas that are pregnant with the events that will define your future.

Don't create a gulf between you and what God intends to do by getting bitter but rejoice and give thanks for those areas of pain.

Read the Word till u see afar of what God promises to do in those areas. Meditate on the promises till you are persuaded, then rejoice in them till you know that its done.

I hope this makes sense to you because God is forever faithful and He deserves our reverence even in our times of trouble because even though your miracle may tarry,it will surely come.Have a wonderful day.

MILEY CYRUS PERFORMS IN NAKED DRESS

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 14:56:00 +0000

Hollywoodlife reports that:
After the MTV Video Music Awards, we didn’t think Miley could shock us anymore. We were wrong.
The singer turned heads — probably all of them — in Las Vegas, Nev. on Sept. 21 by wearing a dress that would make Madonna and Lady Gaga blush. The skimpy, white, fishnet dress ended just above her mid-thigh and showed off every curve Miley has.

Miley decided to forego wearing a bra under her see-through dress!? Instead, Miley rocked two small, black pasties on her boobs. She finished off the outrageous outfit with a set of furry white sleeves and a pair of white panties (which she probably only wore because she’d be arrested if she went commando).

While on stage in the dress, Miley did what she did best — twerked, grabbed her crotch suggestively, and of course stuck out her tongue seductively — all while singing into a microphone fashioned to look like a banana.

MANY FLAVORS OF WINE

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 15:06:00 +0000

The four main flavors of wine are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. While this is the four flavors your tongue is really capable of tasting, the long lasting impression that wine leaves in your mouth is far more complex. When drinking or tasting wine, your taste buds and your sense of smell are involved, adding to the way you construe wine overall. The flavors, aromas, and sensations that wine is comprised of provide the interaction that you taste when you sample wine.

Sweetness is an element that wines are well known for. Usually with most types of wine, grapes are responsible for the sweet taste. Grapes do contain a lot of sugar, which helps breaks the yeast down into alcohol. The grapes and yeast that were used to make the wine will leave behind various sugars, which your tongue will be able to quickly distinguish. As soon as your tongue detects these various sugars, the stimulation of sweetness from the wine will be ever so present in your mouth.

Even though your tongue doesn't really know how to decipher the taste of alcohol, it is always present in wines. The alcohol present in wine will dilate blood vessels and hence intensify all of the other flavors found in the wine. After you have sampled a few types of wine, the alcohol level can easily have an effect on your taste buds, making it much more difficult to distinguish other drinks that you may have.

Acidity in wines usually influences the sugar. When the acidity is balanced, the overall flavor of wine can be very overwhelming. After you drink wine that contains it, the flavor of the acidity will be well known to your tongue. Notwithstanding that acidity is great with wine, but too much of it will leave a very sharp taste. At the right levels, acidity will bring the flavors of the grape and fruits alive in your mouth - providing you with the perfect taste.

Another effect of flavor is tannins, which are the proteins present in the skins of grapes and other fruits. A wine that has the right amount of tannins will give your tongue a great feel, and bring in the sensations of the other flavors. During wine aging process, the tannins will begin to breakdown in the bottle, giving you a softer feel to the taste. Tannins are definitely essential for the taste of wine - providing the wine has been properly aged.

Oak is the last flavor associated with wine. Even though oak isn't put into the wine during the creation process, it is actually transferred during the aging process, as most wines will spend quite a bit of time in oak barrels. Depending on how long the wine is left in the oak barrel, the ability to extract the flavor will vary. Quite often, wine will be aged just enough to where the oak taste is visibly there - and adds the perfect sentiment to the taste.

There are many other factors involved to determine the flavors of wine, the most prominent ones are those listed above. The above flavors are the most present in wine, and also the flavors that you need to get more proficient with. Before trying to taste wine or distinguish flavors, you should always learn as much you can about the ingredients accountable for the flavors. When you follow these simple rules you will know more about what wine you taste, because you will be in a better position to appreciate wine.
　

　

NAVY YARD: AARON ALEXIS HAD MENTAL ISSUES

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 14:52:00 +0000

The ex-US Navy reservist who killed 12 people and wounded eight at a Washington DC Navy installation had received treatment for mental health issues, US media have reported.

Aaron Alexis, 34, was treated for paranoia, trouble sleeping and hearing voices, the Associated Press reported.

Before Monday's shooting at the Washington Navy Yard he was employed as a technical contractor there.

He was shot and killed by police during the attack.

On Tuesday, the US capital remained in a state of shock after the shootings. The flag flew at half-mast over the White House, where hours after the shooting President Barack Obama had mourned "yet another mass shooting".

No motive is known for the attack.

The victims ranged in age from 46 to 73, and details about their identities and lives have just begun to emerge.

The shooting began about 8:20 local time (12:20 GMT) on Monday, when a gunman apparently shot his way into the heavily guarded Building 197, headquarters for Naval Sea Systems Command, which builds and maintains ships and submarines for the Navy.

As an employee of an IT contractor, Alexis apparently had a card granting him access to the building - even though he had had several run-ins with the law and had been discharged from the Navy under a cloud, authorities said.

"It really is hard to believe that someone with a record as chequered as this man could conceivably get, you know, clearance to get... credentials to be able to get on the base," Washington DC Mayor Vincent Gray told CNN.

Witnesses said the suspect sprayed bullets in a hallway and fired from a balcony down on to workers in an atrium at the heavily secured installation in the US capital.

He was reportedly armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a handgun that he took from a police officer at the scene.
Police initially responded to reports of two other armed suspects, but after exhaustive searches authorities said they were all but certain that Alexis was the only gunman.

Washington Police Chief Cathy Lanier told reporters the gunman "was engaged in shooting with police officers" when he died. "There is no question he would have kept shooting," she added.

Alexis was formerly a petty officer 3rd class who served full-time in the naval reserve from 2007-11, said the US Navy.

He received two routine medals for his service in the Navy: the National Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.

Alexis separated from the Navy reserves under what is called a general discharge, a status that suggests misconduct. It was not immediately clear why he left the military, but unnamed military officers told US media there had been a series of issues during his service.

According to media reports, Alexis was a Buddhist convert who had had two previous gun-related brushes with the law.

In 2004 he was arrested in Seattle for shooting a construction worker's car tyres, in what he described as an enraged "black-out".

And he was questioned by Fort Worth police in 2010 after firing his gun through the floor of an upstairs apartment. He said it was an accidental discharge.

In addition to those killed in Monday's rampage, one police officer was shot in the legs, a female civilian was shot in the head and hand, and another woman was treated for a shoulder wound.

All three were expected to recover.

Five others required medical treatment, mostly for minor injuries, said Washington DC Mayor Vincent Gray

Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth Call Off Engagement

HOMELESS MAN TURNS IN A LOST BAGPACK WITH $42,000USD

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 14:18:00 +0000

It is a known fact that times are tough and everyone tries to make use of any(I mean any) opportunity that comes their way to make money but there are people who wouldn't change their values despite their situation. Such is the case of an homeless man in Boston who turned in a lost bag pack containing a passport and a lot of cash/cash equivalents to the Police.

Glen James, of Boston, right, holds a special citation while facing reporters with Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis, left

Glen James of Boston found the bag pack at the South Bay mall in the Dorchester neighbourhood around 5:30pm on Saturday.

The bag pack specifically contained:
1. A Chinese passport
2. $2,400USD in cash
3. Almost $40,000 in Traveller's Checks

The man who lost the bag pack had already informed the Best Buy staff in the mall so he was just taken to the Police Station to verify his identity once his bag pack was found. Thanks to the homeless man and hopefully he'll be rewarded.

I watched a short interview where people were asked what they would have done if they were the ones who found the bag pack and most of them said if they were homeless, the discovery would have been considered a blessing and they would have kept the money but Glen said God has always been watching over him. What a good man.

I'm inspired to do good

Delicious Desserts

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:10:00 +0000

A "Dessert" is a meal course that usually comes after dinner. Most often Dessert foods are of sweet food but can also be of a strongly flavored food, such as cheese, like cheese cake. The world dessert comes from the Old French word "desservir", which means 'to clear the table'. Often times in the English language dessert is confused with the word desert(note only one "s"), which is a barren piece of land normally with sand as soil.

It wasn't until after the 19th-century where the rise of the middle class, and the mechanization of the sugar industry, brought the privilege of sweets into the general public and unreserved it exclusively for the aristocracy, or as rare holiday treat. This was because sugar became cheaper and more readily available to the general public. As sugar was widely spread, so was the development and popularity of desserts.

In today's culture dessert recipes have become a popular item for discussion, as they are a winning way to win people over at the end of any meal. This is partly because if you serve a mediocre meal, with an excellent dessert, people will remember you for the dessert and forget about the meal.

Most cultures, have a separate final distinction between the main course, and the sweet course. This is not true however in some cultures such as Chinese, who will mix in sweet and savoury dishes throughout the entire meal. Dessert is, often times seen as a separate meal or snack, rather than a course, and can be eaten some time after the meal by many individuals. Because of it's wide spread popularity there are even some restaurants that specialize in desserts.

Some of the most common desserts are:

Biscuits or cookies
Ice creams
Meringues
Fruit
Cakes
Crumbles
Custards
Gelatin desserts
Puddings
Pastries
Pies or tarts

ALL ABOUT CUBAN CUISINE

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Sep 2013 18:27:00 +0000

The East Caribbean island of Cuba has a rich cultural heritage from which has arisen culinary traditions that are as vibrant and varied as the variety of cultures that have contributed to the development of this distinct and delicious cuisine. In addition to the ancient influence of the native peoples of Cuba, the Spaniards brought their own culinary styles, tinged by those of the Moors who held huge parts of Spain for centuries. The slaves that were brought from Africa made significant culinary and cultural contributions, with other culinary traditions being brought to the island with the French colonists fleeing uprisings in Haiti.

As these various influences came together, a distinctly Cuban flavor and style evolved, which is reminiscent of country peasant styles of cooking by oral tradition and eye, rather than relying on specific measurements and the creation of dishes that tend towards the simple and hearty, and that can be left on their own to simmer. Fussy, heavy sauces are unusual and deep-frying is simply not a favored cooking method. The island nation, naturally, uses a great deal of seafood in its cuisine, which encourages the use of simple cooking techniques and spicing that is meant to enhance, not smother, natural flavors.

The most common spices used in Cuban cuisine are garlic, cumin, oregano and bay or laurel leaves. Sofrito is also popular, and used in a wide range of dishes, from those of beans to those of meats to those that are made from a base of tomato sauce. A typical sofrito is made of green pepper, onion, garlic, oregano and black pepper fried in olive oil until the pepper, onion and garlic are soft and translucent and the flavors blend to perfection.

The dense, nutritious, energy producing vegetables commonly used belie the African and native peoples’ influence on the cuisine of Cuba. Yuca, malanga, boniato, and plantano are among these, and are often simmered together with complementary vegetables and served simply, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with chopped fresh onion – a satisfying, strengthening and simple dish for a hard working people.

Meats are often prepared using island flavored marinades of that use lime juice or the juice of a sour variety of the orange as a base. Then, the meats are roasted or simmered very slowly with spices, often for hours. Beans and rice are an essential part of most meals, with black beans being well known as a Cuban specialty.

Cuban cuisine is also notable for its baked goods, which include a variety of turnovers. Some are filled with spiced meats and other types feature a particularly Cuban blend of cream cheese and guava paste. Flan is among Cuba’s most beloved dessert items.

In Cuban cuisine, the subtle flavors of healthy foods are enhanced by cooking and spicing methods designed to bring out the best in each component of a dish. The culinary traditions of Cuba are a delight to the tongue, naturally, but they also offer a fascinating glimpse into a culture that has brought together many varied elements to create a cohesive whole.

ANTIOXIDANT FOOD SOURCES

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 08:30:00 +0000

Antioxidants are substances that help our bodies fight free radicals-natural but toxic chemical reactions that occur in our bodies and damage our cells. Different antioxidants combat different free radicals, so it's wise to know and use a wide range of antioxidant foods and vitamins that help preserve health and vitality.

Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant vitamin. Foods that contain the antioxidant properties of Vitamin C include oranges, lemons, grapefruits, cantaloupe, many leafy greens, broccoli and peppers. Beta carotene, found in carrots, is another antioxidant nutrient.

Garlic is another food known for its antioxidant properties. Garlic actually has many healthy properties and can even be used as an antibacterial.
Berries of almost every type are excellent antioxidants. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries all have antioxidant properties.

Although cooking can dilute the nutrients in food, most foods have more than enough to last. The antioxidant properties of red grapes are even found in wine, so it's not necessary to eat raw foods in order to get antioxidant benefits.

And speaking of antioxidants that you can drink, don't forget about tea. All different kinds of tea have these good-for-you properties, not just green tea, as was originally thought.

While nutritional supplements are available to help us get the nutrients we aren't getting from food, the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables a day (especially if those vegetables are broccoli and spinach) should provide most of the antioxidants you need. Especially for children, it's wise not to get in the habit of relying on supplements when a naturally varied diet can provide for most nutritional needs. As we get older, however, it may become necessary to supplement certain vitamins and minerals; for example, some older people lose the ability to naturally synthesize enough Vitamin B12. Vitamin D is another vitamin that may need to be supplemented in older people. Your doctor can do blood tests to determine if you could benefit from vitamin supplementation.
